Luke Musgrave posts solid effort in Week 5

Packers TE Luke Musgrave hauled 6 of 7 targets for 34 yards in Week 5 vs. the Raiders. Excluding last week’s contest vs. the Lions in which he suffered a concussion, the rookie has now posted at least 8 PPR points in three of his four healthy games. Fantasy managers looking for TE help ought to take notice here. WR Christian Watson recorded a team-high 91 receiving yards on Monday night but was only able to connect 3 catches on 7 targets in the contest. For as bad of an offensive performance as the Packers put on display, there’s some good here to hang your hat on. Next up on the schedule is a road game against the Broncos.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave (kidney) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. It’ll be his first action since Week 11. It’s entirely unclear how snaps and routes will be divvied between Musgrave and TE Tucker Kraft, leaving both guys as shaky fantasy plays. If picking between the two, we’d use Kraft.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been activated from IR, putting him in line to play vs. the Bears on Sunday. Musgrave has been out since Week 11. He was Green Bay's lead TE before going down, but it's unclear how snaps will be divvied between Musgrave and Tucker Kraft against the Bears. Neither guy is a safe fantasy play in Week 18.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave (kidney) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week. HC Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Musgrave has a realistic chance to play this weekend. He’s been out since suffering a lacerated kidney back in Week 11 and wouldn't be a bankable Week 18 fantasy play. But Musgrave’s return would put a significant dent in TE Tucker Kraft's value.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Thursday that TE Luke Musgrave has a realistic chance to play vs. the Bears this weekend. Musgrave has been out since suffering a lacerated kidney back in Week 11. He's been limited in practice so far this week. We'll see how Musgrave is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. He wouldn't be a Week 18 fantasy option but would put a significant dent in TE Tucker Kraft's value.

Packers TE Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been designated to return from IR. He won't practice on Thursday, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, so Musgrave seems unlikely to play vs. the Panthers this weekend. But we'll keep tabs on his return from a lacerated kidney suffered back in Week 11.
