The Packers will be without their starting OLBs against the Vikings tonight. Nick Perry (ankle) entered the weekend doubtful. Clay Matthews (hamstring) was questionable but will also not play. That can only make the matchup comfier for Vikings QB Case Keenum.

Packers S Morgan Burnett (groin) is active for tonight's game against the Steelers and ready to use in IDP lineups if you waited for him. OLB Clay Matthews (groin) is out, which hurts a defense you shouldn't be using anyway.

Packers CB Damarious Randall is active for tonight's game against the Lions. He entered the night questionable and is a low-level IDP option.

Packers DE Mike Daniels (hip) is active for today's game against the Cowboys. That will mark his 1st action since the 1st quarter of Week 2. We'd rather watch him for a game before using him in IDP lineups again.

Packers DE Mike Daniels (hip) is inactive for tonight's game against the Bears. OLB Nick Perry (hand) is active, however, after sitting out last week's contest. He's not a good IDP option but helps the pass rush for the Packers' team defense.

The Packers have ruled DE Mike Daniels (hip) and OLB Nick Perry (hand) doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Packers DE Mike Daniels left early in the 1st quarter of Sunday night's game in Atlanta with a hamstring injury. He was on the sideline in street clothes by the 2nd quarter. We'll see about the severity of the injury. Daniels entered the game questionable because of a hip issue.

Packers DE Mike Daniels is active for tonight's game against the Falcons. He entered the weekend questionable with a hip issue but is good to go for IDP lineups. The Atlanta matchup isn't generally good for DL scoring, though.

The Packers kicked off Day 2 of the NFL Draft by selecting Washington CB Kevin King. The 6'4 cover man could compete for a job right away, but Green Bay has enough talent at corner that it doesn't necessarily need him crack the top 2 in 2017. King grabbed 6 INTs over the past 3 seasons and defensed a career-high 13 passes in his senior campaign.

Packers OLB Nick Perry is active for today's game against the Vikings after losing the past 2 weeks to a hand injury. His return helps the pass rush and adds upside to a sneaky team-defense play for fantasy owners. CB Damarious Randall (shoulder) is also active after entering the weekend questionable.

Packers OLB Clay Matthews has made his way off the team's injury report for Week 16. That's a bit surprising, as Matthews had previously said he expected his injured shoulder to stay short of 100% for the rest of the year. We'd bet it's still not back to full strength, which makes an already risky IDP option not worth using at this stage of the season. Matthews' presence -- as long as he's close to healthy -- at least enhances the upside of the Packers team D vs. a weak Minnesota offense.

Packers ILB Blake Martinez (knee) is active for today's game against the Bears. He returns as a low-level IDP option after 3 games out. CB Damarious Randall (groin) is also active.

The forecast for today's Packers-Bears game calls for a temperature of 6 degrees with winds of 10-20 mph. The wind chill could sink as low as -13. That's cold. Expect more running than usual from both sides. We're still expecting Green Bay's passing game to be effective. WR Alshon Jeffery is the only piece of the Bears' passing game that should be in fantasy lineups.
