Green Bay Packers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Week 15. He didn’t practice all week and is clearly a long shot play vs. the Bucs on Sunday. WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. If he’s unable to play this weekend, Green Bay would be down to WRs Malik Heath and Samori Toure behind top two WRs Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs.

Packers RB A.J. Dillon (thumb) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. He only got in a limited practice on Friday with his broken thumb. "We're kinda working through it right now," HC Matt LaFleur said of Dillon's ability to play on Sunday. "We'll see where we're at... Had it padded pretty good." Dillon's already limited pass-catching ability would be further curtailed if he suits up this weekend. He's not a recommended Week 15 fantasy play.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chargers. The team didn’t rule him out until this afternoon, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, while The Athletic’s Vic Tafur tweeted that Jacobs might have played had this game been Sunday. So it sounds like there’s a good chance that he’s back for Week 16. Jacobs’ absence tonight leaves Vegas’ backfield to Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah. White figures to handle the majority of the early-down work, with Abdullah playing on passing downs. See where both guys sit in the Week 15 RB Rankings.

Packers RB A.J. Dillon missed his second straight practice on Thursday and told the media that he has a broken thumb. OC Adam Stenavich said that the team is still figuring out whether Dillon can play vs. the Bucs this weekend. "It makes it harder to catch the ball and things like that, but if you limit the things he does, it can be done," Stenavich said. We'll keep an eye on Dillon's status, as well as Aaron Jones (knee), who remained limited in Thursday's practice. The Packers also have RB Patrick Taylor on the active roster and RB Kenyan Drake on the practice squad.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs' status for Thursday night's game vs. the Chargers is "firmly in doubt," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jacobs did not practice at all this week with his quad injury. We have him projected to miss this game, leaving the backfield to Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah. We'll get Las Vegas' inactives a little before 7 pm ET tonight.

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy owners should not be counting on him to play vs. the Bucs this weekend. WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also out on Wednesday.

The Raiders list RB Josh Jacobs (quad) as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Chargers. He didn't practice all week and seems unlikely to play, but we'll look for further updates on his status. Jacobs' absence would leave Zamir White as Vegas' likely lead back, with Ameer Abdullah handling passing downs.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs did not practice on Tuesday. He's on the injury report with a quad, rather than the previously reported knee. Regardless, Jacobs doesn't look particularly likely to play vs. the Chargers on Thursday night. That'd leave RB Zamir White as Vegas' likely lead ball carrier, with RB Ameer Abdullah handling passing-game work.

Packers WR Jayden Reed is starting to heat up. The rookie racked up 8 catches on 10 targets for 27 receiving yards in Week 14 vs. the Giants. In addition to his pass-catching, he also recorded 4 carries for 38 yards and a TD as a runner on Monday night. The Packers have been more creative in utilizing Reed on end-around plays and getting the ball in his hands as a rusher of late, as Reed is averaging 20 rushing yards per game over the past five weeks. On top of his 5 catches and 41.4 receiving yards per game in that span, Reed is posting an average of 15.9 PPR points weekly and becoming an underappreciated difference-maker in lineups. He should be a solid flex value again in Week 15 vs. the Buccaneers (fifth-best WR matchup per our adjusted fantasy points allowed) and needs to be on fantasy managers’ radar(s) in both season-long and dynasty formats.

The Packers have elevated RB Kenyan Drake from the practice squad for tonight's game against the Giants. He joins AJ Dillon and Patrick Taylor on the roster for a game RB Aaron Jones is expected to miss. We're not expecting a lot of work for Drake in a backfield that has leaned heavily on Dillon when Jones is out.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs hurt his right knee in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update Jacobs' status when we know more. His absence leaves Vegas' backfield to Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah.

Packers LB Quay Walker (shoulder) is doubtful for Monday night's game against the Giants. We've knocked him out of the Week 14 LB rankings after a week of missed practices. Isaiah McDuffie will fill in but doesn't carry as much IDP upside.

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Giants. He didn't practice all week and is likely looking at a multi-game absence. WRs Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs should get playing-time boosts with Watson out. Dontayvion Wicks figures to serve as Green Bay's No. 3 WR but is really only in play on the Monday DFS slate.

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. He told reporters that this hamstring injury isn't as bad as the one that cost him the first three games of the season. But he's still unlikely to play vs. the Giants on Monday night. That'll leave Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks as Green Bay's top three WRs.

Packers QB Jordan Love out-played Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in a 27-19 win on Sunday night. (Not a sentence we expected to type.) Love completed 25 of 36 passes (69%) for 267 yards (7.4 YPA), three TDs, and 0 INTs. He threw scores in each of the first three quarters and then led a pair of FG drives in the fourth to fend off Mahomes and Co. Love became just the second QB to toss three TDs vs. Kansas City this season. His 267 passing yards were the second-most the Chiefs have allowed in a game this year. Love has now strung together five straight strong showings. He's completed 66% of his passes at 7.9 yards per attempt with 11 TDs vs. two INTs over that span. Love has finished as a top-15 fantasy QB in all five of those games, including four straight top-12 finishes. He might have lost WR Christian Watson to a hamstring injury in this one, which would ding his going-forward outlook. But Love gets nice matchups the next two weeks vs. the Giants and Bucs. He's earned QB1 consideration.

Packers WR Christian Watson injured his right hamstring late in Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. That ended a strong outing for Watson, who finished with seven catches for 71 yards and two TDs, plus 15 rushing yards. We'll see about the severity of this hamstring injury and when we can expect Watson back.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (chest) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. He got in just a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. But Reed played through this chest injury on Thanksgiving, racking up 50 total yards and a score. The bigger concern for Reed might be that WR Dontayvion Wicks (knee) is also active. He’s played between 33% and 44% of Green Bay’s offensive snaps in his last four games and could eat into Reed’s playing time a bit, as well as WR Christian Watson and WR Romeo Doubs’ playing time.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (chest) got in just a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Chiefs. We’d be more worried about Reed if he didn’t go for 50 yards and a score while playing through this injury on Thanksgiving. We’re expecting the rookie to play against Kansas City but will look for further updates on his status for that one. WR Dontayvion Wicks (knee) is listed as questionable for the Chiefs game after a limited week of practices.

Packers RB A.J. Dillon (groin) was held out of Wednesday's practice. He played through the groin issue on Thanksgiving and should be fine for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. But we'll track his status over the next few days.

Packers QB Jordan Love dominated the Lions on Thursday with 268 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 turnovers. He added 39 rushing yards, with 37 coming on a zone-read. But the real story here was Love’s accuracy, which he showed off on several tight-window and off-platform throws. His +7.3% completion rate over expected set a career-high, per Next Gen Stats. Love will be a risky QB1 next week vs. the Chiefs' stingy pass D. But he’ll be back on the streaming radar for a Week 14 date at the Giants.
