Green Bay Packers Fantasy Overview

The Packers have selected Jonathan Gannon to replace Jeff Hafley as defensive coordinator. Gannon spent the past three seasons leading Arizona to a 15-36 record but wasn't calling defensive plays for those squads, which sported iffy talent. He spent two years before that coordinating Philly defenses that each ranked top 12 in scoring. The 2022 unit allowed the leagues fewest passing yards, tallied the most sacks and ranked fourth in INTs. Gannon spent seven seasons before that coaching DBs in Minnesota, then Indianapolis. He has been in the NFL as a coach or scout since 2007.

The Packers fear Edge Micah Parsons tore his left ACL in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He left in the second half with a non-contact injury to the knee. He's headed for a Monday MRI to confirm the diagnosis.

Update: Monday's MRI confirmed the ACL tear.

Packers LB Quay Walker is inactive for today's game against the Lions. It'll be his second straight missed game with a neck injury. Isaiah McDuffie filled in last week -- and after Walker left Week 11 early -- and has delivered good fantasy numbers. He jumps into the top 30 of our Week 13 LB ranks with Walker out. CB Keisean Nixon is active after entering the day questionable.

Packers LB Quay Walker is active for today's game against the Panthers. He retains some risk, however, thanks to a calf injury that kept him out of Thursday's practice and limited his Friday workout. Factor that in as you set your IDP lineups.
