Raiders RB Josh Jacobs gained only 38 yards on 14 attempts in Sunday's loss at Miami. Note that Vegas played without key LT Kolton Miller. Strangely, Jacobs saw only 1 target in this one, despite 41 passes from Aidan O'Connell. In fact, over the past three weeks, Jacobs owns only 3 total targets. Week 12 turns up a negative matchup vs. Kansas City, followed by a Week 13 bye.
Packers LB Quay Walker (groin) and Edge Rashan Gary (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Chargers. CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder) is out, leaving Green Bay without its top cover guy. Walker and Gary appear ready for usual IDP use.
Packers LB Quay Walker (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers. He put in limited practices all week after missing the previous two games (and all preceding practices). CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder) and Edge Rashan Gary (shoulder) are also questionable. We'll check the status of all three Sunday.
Packers WR Christian Watson flopped again in Week 10, hauling in just 2 of his 7 targets for 23 receiving yards vs. the Steelers. It’s fair to question at this point whether or not fantasy managers should continue to consider putting Watson into lineups. He’s now averaged a poor 2.3 receptions and 40 receiving yards per game in 2023, and the rapport between him and QB Jordan Love hasn’t come through. In fact, 5 of the 10 INTs that Love has thrown this season have come when targeting Watson, per The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman. How much blame to assign the WR vs. the QB barely matters. Expect to find Watson well outside the top 36 in our weekly WR rankings until something changes. It's even OK to consider dropping him in shallower leagues.
Packers QB Jordan Love completed 21 of 40 passes for a season-high 289 yards with 2 TD and 2 INTs in Week 10 vs. the Steelers. Though he played well enough for fantasy managers to be somewhat happy, Love now ranks tied for first in the NFL with 10 INTs through nine games played. That doesn't hurt his fantasy scoring in most formats as much as it does his real-life team. But it does highlight the erratic play that makes Love difficult to trust in fantasy lineups. Week 11 could be a nice spot for Love against a Chargers defense that ranks as the easiest QB matchup per our adjusted fantasy points allowed. But it's not enough to make him a recommended starter in typically sized leagues.
Packers S Rudy Ford (calf) and DT Kenny Clark (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Steelers. Neither is a high-level IDP option, but each is available for deeper lineup spots.
Packers LB Quay Walker (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Assuming he's out, that will mean LB Isaiah McDuffie starting in his place for the second straight game. Green Bay also expects to go without lead CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder), who is also doubtful. In addition, DT Kenny Clark (shoulder) and S Rudy Ford are questionable. We'll check the status of all four players Sunday before the game.
Packers WR Christian Watson (back) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Steelers. He’ll be ready for his usual role in that one but is tough to like as more than a WR4 in a struggling Green Bay passing game.
Packers WR Christian Watson (back) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to play vs. the Steelers this weekend. Watson is tough to trust as more than a WR4 in a struggling Packers passing game. He's totaled just seven catches for 97 yards over the last three weeks.
Packers WR Christian Watson was not diagnosed with a concussion after exiting in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Rams, HC Matt LaFleur said Monday. "We're still following it closely just to make sure," LaFleur added. He also said that the chest and back injuries that were reported on Sunday are not a concern. It sounds like Watson should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Steelers, but we'll keep tabs on him throughout the week.
Packers TE Luke Musgrave notched his first career TD in Week 9. The rookie’s score resulted from a well-designed play and marked one of two 20+ yard gains. In total, Musgrave led the Packers with 51 yards on a 15.3% target share (tied for second-highest on Green Bay). Week 10 brings a matchup with a Steelers squad that might remain without S Minkah Fitzpatrick. After that comes a pair of favorable draws vs. the Chargers and Lions.
Packers WR Christian Watson managed only 1 catch for 37 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. That was a sweet leaping grab deep downfield. Watson nearly added a downfield TD, but the pass arrived underthrown. The young WR exited this one banged up with chest and back injuries. He was also checked for a concussion, but HC Matt LaFleur said the team is confident he avoided a head injury. We'll check his practice participation ahead of Sunday's meeting with a beatable Pittsburgh secondary. After that comes another favorable opponent in the Chargers.
Packers WR Christian Watson left late in Sunday's game vs. the Rams with chest and back injuries. He was also evaluated for a concussion, the team announced. We'll look for an update on Watson's status.
Packers LB Quay Walker (groin) and S Rudy Ford (calf) are inactive for today's game against the Rams. LB Isaiah McDuffie and S Dallin Leavitt look like the next players up. Neither should be in the IDP plans for most fantasy teams, though. Check our updated IDP rankings for replacement options if you're in need.
Packers S Rudy Ford is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with a calf injury. The issue arose in Thursday's practice, and then he sat out Friday's workout. That bodes ill for his chances of playing Sunday. Dallin Leavitt looks like the next guy up if Ford can't go.
Packers LB Quay Walker missed practice Friday -- his first day on the injury report all week -- and is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams with a groin injury. HC Matt LaFleur said Walker "came in feeling tight today." We'll see about his status Sunday. Isaiah McDuffie has been the third LB up so far.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs recorded 15 carries for 61 rushing yards and a TD in Week 8’s loss vs. the Lions. He also secured 2 of 4 targets for a team-leading 27 receiving yards in the contest. Unfortunately, Jacobs is the only Raider who eclipsed 20 receiving yards and one of only three players to catch more than one pass on Monday night. In fact, QB Jimmy Garoppolo didn’t complete a pass to a WR until the second half of the game. Both WR Jakobi Meyers and Davante Adams were held to one reception apiece, unable to bring anything to the table for fantasy managers. Next week’s matchup vs. the Giants should yield better results, though the current state of the Raiders' offense is deeply concerning.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs caught the team's lone TD in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, one of just 4 receptions for 18 yards. That marked a particularly inefficient performance for a team-high 9 targets. That makes 5 TD receptions on the season -- at an 18.5% TD rate -- and still just two games with more than 30 receiving yards. You should sell Doubs any time you encounter an opportunity.
Packers WR Christian Watson caught just three of 8 targets in Sunday's loss to the Vikings. He produced a mere 33 yards, ranking third on the team. Watson has now caught just 11 of 24 targets through four appearances, an ugly 45.8% catch rate. The good news is that he didn't miss time after hurting a knee late in Week 7. The bad news: QB Jordan Love appears likely to limit Watson's upside going forward. Next week holds a negative scoring matchup with the Rams, according to our adjusted fantasy points allowed. After that, though, come three straight positive matchups for WR scoring.
Packers TE Luke Musgrave (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s tough to believe that Musgrave will be anywhere close to 100% for this one. He’s not a recommended TE1 play.
