The Packers signed K Brandon McManus to a one-year deal. ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that McManus is expected to immediately replace K Brayden Narveson, who has made just 12 of 17 FGs this season. McManus sports a career 81.4% FG conversion rate, including 70.5% from 40+ yards. He'll be a fantasy factor on the high-scoring Packers.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks is considered “week to week” with the shoulder injury that knocked him out of the Week 6 win over the Cardinals, according to insider Jordan Schultz. "After initial concern inside the Packers’ building of a more substantial injury, there is relief that Wicks avoided anything more serious," Schultz adds.
Packers QB Jordan Love ended the game completing 22 of 32 passes for 258 yards. Love was on fire in the first half throwing 4 TDs and only 1 INT.
Packers WR Christian Watson caught three passes on 4 targets for 68 yards for a TD. Coming back from his ankle injury. He made an impact in the Packers’ win against the Cardinals.
Packers WR Jayden Reed is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals with an ankle injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Green Bay lost WR Dontayvion Wicks to a shoulder injury earlier in the game, leaving Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Bo Melton, and Malik Heath at WR.
Update: Reed returned later in the second quarter.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals with a shoulder injury. He was playing ahead of WR Christian Watson before exiting, catching one of three targets for nine yards. We'll update Wicks' status when we know more.
Update: Wicks has been ruled out.
Packers WR Christian Watson (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He was limited in practice all week and still probably isn’t at 100%. We’d try not to use Watson in Week 6 fantasy lineups, but his return makes WR Dontayvion Wicks an extremely shaky fantasy play. Watson was playing ahead of Wicks before the ankle injury.
Packers WR Christian Watson (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. He seemingly has a legitimate chance to return after missing just one game, although we’d try not to use Watson in Week 6 fantasy lineups coming off the ankle injury. His return would, however, make WR Dontayvion Wicks a much shakier fantasy play.
Packers TE Tucker Kraft (groin) is not listed on the final Week 6 injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited again in Friday's practice, but he'll play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. Coming off back-to-back TE1 finishes, Kraft is a rock-solid fantasy start.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs will play vs. the Cardinals this week, HC Matt LaFleur said Friday. “He’s done a nice job, he’s gone in and worked," LaFleur added. We're projecting Doubs to step back into a full-time role, although that's obviously not guaranteed after his Week 5 suspension. Doubs checks in as a WR4 in the Week 6 Rankings.
Packers TE Tucker Kraft was added to the injury report and limited in Thursday's practice with a groin. We don't have any other details on the injury, but Kraft's status for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals is now in question. We'll get another update on his status tomorrow.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Thursday that TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) will "more than likely" go on IR. That'd knock him out for the next four games, which runs into Green Bay's Week 10 bye. Musgrave can be dropped in all redraft leagues. His absence locks in TE Tucker Kraft as a full-time player -- and a fantasy TE1.
Packers WR Christian Watson (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. He seemingly has a shot to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. Watson would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first game back from what was reportedly a high-ankle sprain. But his return would take WR Dontayvion Wicks out of fantasy-lineup consideration.
Packers TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported this morning that Musgrave “will be limited at best.” He’s not a fantasy option.
Packers WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (suspension) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. That leaves Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks as Green Bay’s clear top-two WRs. It’s unclear exactly how No. 3 WR duties will be divvied between Bo Melton and Malik Heath. They’re just fliers in DFS tournaments.
Packers TE Luke Musgrave will test out his injured ankle in pregame warmups before determining whether he'll play vs. the Rams today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "But even if he can make it back, he will be limited at best," Schefter adds. The news just keeps getting better for TE Luke Musgrave, who has already been playing well ahead of Musgrave and should also find additional target opportunity today with WRs Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs out.
The Packers suspended WR Romeo Doubs one game for conduct detrimental to the team. He'll miss Sunday's contest vs. the Rams.
Packers TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He didn’t practice all week, so he’s seemingly on the wrong side of 50/50. Musgrave shouldn’t be in your Week 5 fantasy plans, but his absence would be a boost for TE Tucker Kraft.
Packers WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (personal) are listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. So Green Bay is suddenly down two of its top three WRs in terms of playing time so far this season. It’s a huge opportunity for WR Dontayvion Wicks, while WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft should also pick up extra volume. We’re expecting WRs Bo Melton and Malik Heath to split Doubs’ snaps.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs did not practice on Thursday due to a personal matter, HC Matt LaFleur said. LaFleur added that they're "taking it day by day" as to whether Doubs will play vs. the Rams this weekend. Green Bay, of course, is already likely to be without WR Christian Watson for that one. Doubs' absence would leave some combination of Bo Melton and Malik Heath as the No. 3 WR behind Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.
