Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has no limitations at the start of voluntary offseason work. A variety of injuries (ankle, hamstring, appendicitis) limited him to one game and six carries as a Round 3 rookie.
The Packers selected TCU WR Savion Williams with the 87th pick of Round 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Williams is a bet on size and speed. This past season, TCU prioritized getting the ball in his hands quickly, leading to an average target depth of only 6.6 yards. He struggled with focus drops for his career but excelled with a 75% contested catch rate. Williams played QB in high school. Across five seasons at TCU, though, he primarily lined up at WR. He took on a larger rushing role late in the 2024 season. The 6’5, 212-pounder never posted true breakout numbers. His most productive campaign came this past fall (60-611-6) alongside fellow WR prospect Jack Bech (62-1,034-9). He also ranked 31st among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 18%, and 37th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 70.2. He is currently 23.3 years old. He ranked 13th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.79. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Cordarrelle Patterson.
The Packers selected Texas WR Matthew Golden with the 23rd pick of Round 1 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Golden wins with speed, stop-start ability, and savvy route running. DBs struggled to get their hands on him in press coverage. Golden made early strides at Houston, tallying 77 catches, 1,003 yards, and 13 TDs over his first two seasons. Transferring to Texas in 2024, the 6’0, 195-pounder took his game to another level. He led the Longhorns in receiving yards (987) and TDs (9) while averaging 17.0 yards per catch. Golden drew a Chris Olave comp from NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, a skillset with plenty of fantasy potential. He also ranked 38th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 16.1%, and 29th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with a 75.6. He is currently 21 years old with a Breakout Age of 20.1. He ranked fourth among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 7.73. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Jeremy Maclin.
The Packers have agreed to a four-year deal with CB Nate Hobbs. ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports that Hobbs will get "up to" $50 million with incentives and that $16 million comes as a signing bonus.
Former Texas Longhorns WR Matthew Golden ran a 4.29 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, beating former teammate Isaiah Bond. At 5'11 and 191 pounds, Golden is nearly a lock to be a first round draft pick and may even be in contention to be the first WR selected.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur wants to get TE Tucker Kraft even more involved in the offense in 2025. He answered, "100%" when asked if Kraft can make a Travis Kelce or George Kittle-type of impact.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) will have "no restrictions" in Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Eagles, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Love put in full practices on Thursday and Friday and was left off the final injury report. We're not docking Love's projections for the elbow. But he still sits low in the Wild Card QB rankings in the matchup against Philadelphia's third-ranked QB defense.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. Love admitted Wednesday that he was still dealing with some soreness in his throwing elbow, but it looks like he progressed over the last two days. We'll look for further reports on that elbow. But, for now, it doesn't seem like it will be a significant factor on Sunday.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. It's good news after he was limited on Wednesday and non-committal on his status for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Barring a setback, Love should be under center for that one.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) stopped short of guaranteeing that he'll play vs. the Eagles this weekend. “We’ll see. Yeah. I’m hopeful," Love said after Wednesday's practice. He added that his right hand is back to normal but that he still has soreness in his right elbow. He plans to wait until later in the week to "cut loose." We'd be surprised if Love missed Sunday's game, but the elbow might be a factor.
Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was able to throw, HC Matt LaFleur said. An injury to a QB's throwing elbow is always worth keeping a close eye on, but it doesn't look like this will keep Love from playing against the Eagles on Sunday.
Packers WR Christian Watson is believed to have torn his right ACL and suffered additional damage to the leg, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur said after Sunday's loss to the Bears that QB Jordan Love could have re-entered with his elbow injury. Green Bay opted to hold Love out, ultimately losing and finishing as the NFC's No. 7 seed. That'll send them to Philadelphia in Round 1. But it sounds like Love will be ready for that one.
Packers QB Jordan Love injured his right elbow in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He's officially questionable to return. Don't expect to see him back out there with Green Bay already in the postseason. We'll see if this injury might impact Love's availability for next week's playoff opener.
Packers WR Christian Watson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bears with a knee injury. It's likely an aggravation of the injury he suffered in Week 16 that cost him Week 17. It puts Watson's availability for next week's playoff opener in question.
Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so we don’t expect him to play a full slate of snaps. Watson would be a very risky Week 18 fantasy start. WR Romeo Doubs (illness) is inactive, which should keep WR Dontayvion Wicks in a full-time role.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs was downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Bears due to an illness. He was not on the injury report all week, so it looks like he came down with something on Saturday. We'll look for further updates on Doubs' status and get Green Bay's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
The Packers have ruled LB Quay Walker (ankle) out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears. It'll be the third straight game he's missed with the injury, locking in Eric Wilson and Edgerrin Cooper as the lead LBs in playing time for the game. Both have moved up our Week 18 rankings, with Cooper a particularly high-upside option. Green Bay has also ruled out CB Jaire Alexander (knee), S Evan Williams (quad), and S Zayne Anderson (concussion). Those absences should boost playing times for DB Javon Bullard, CB Carrington Valentine, and CB Eric Stokes. The Packers defense doesn't take a meaningful fantasy hit from these absences.
Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. If Watson plays, we’d be surprised if it was a full workload with the Packers having already clinched a playoff spot.
The Packers are expected to play their starters in Sunday's game against the Bears. They can move up from the No. 7 seed to the No. 6 seed with a win coupled with a Commanders loss. But RB Josh Jacobs admitted Thursday that he doesn't expect to handle his usual workload. "Just being honest, being realistic, I don't see me taking that many carries in this game," Jacobs said. "Obviously, I want to play. I'm going to push to play, and I'm playing. But I don't see myself taking 30 carries." Jacobs gets a Chicago defense sitting 25th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs, so even 12-15 carries could result in a strong fantasy outing. But there's no guarantee he even gets that much work. Jacobs is a risky Week 18 fantasy play.
