Green Bay Packers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The forecast for today's Texans-Packers game calls for 1-3 inches of snow. Wind won't be a major factor, though, at just 5-10 mph. Green Bay's passing game is safe to keep in fantasy lineups. There's nothing safe about Houston's passing game, but that has nothing to do with the weather.

Packers ILBs Blake Martinez (knee) and Jake Ryan (ankle) and OLB Clay Matthews (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. Martinez and Ryan put in limited workouts all week and appear on track to return after missing multiple games. Matthews played through his injury last Monday night at Philly and returned to limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. We'd guess he'll play as well. But we'll update the status for all 3 Sunday.

Packers LB Clay Matthews left in the 1st quarter of Monday night's game against the Eagles with a left shoulder injury. Matthews missed just a few plays initially but was clearly inhibited after returning and went to the locker room soon thereafter. His return is questionable.

Update: Matthews did return in the 2nd quarter.

Packers ILB Jake Ryan (ankle) is inactive for tonight's game against the Eagles. That comes despite indications over the weekend that the team expected him to be ready. With Blake Martinez also out, the Packers will be down both starters at the position. Joe Thomas and Carl Bradford are listed as the backups, with Thomas the surest bet for snaps against Philly. OLB Clay Matthews also might see snaps on the inside. CB Damarious Randall, who also entered Monday questionable (groin), is active.

The Packers have ruled ILB Blake Martinez (knee) out for Monday night's game at Philadelphia. According to multiple reports, however, they expect questionable ILB Jake Ryan (ankle) to play. ILB Joe Thomas should fill in for Martinez next to Ryan. Neither will be a strong IDP option, though there's tackle upside to Ryan.

Packers OLB Clay Matthews (hamstring) is active for Sunday night's game against Washington. He missed the past 3 games with the injury but is in play if you've been waiting for him for your IDP lineup.

The forecast for tonight's Packers-Redskins game calls for 17-18 mph winds with gusts of 40+. That's certainly bad news for Ks Mason Crosby and Dustin Hopkins. We also made slight adjustments down to our projections for both passing games.
