Packers | WR Matthew Golden returns to the game Sun Oct 25, 05:31 PM
Packers WR Matthew Golden has returned to Sunday's game against the Lions after being injured in the second quarter.
| Footballguys view: Although Golden finished the game with a team-high 12 targets, he was only able to convert them into six catches for 39 yards. Despite the quiet game, Golden remains a solid fantasy starter with upside going forward. The Packers play the Panthers on Thursday night in Week 8. |

Packers | Zaire Franklin ruled out vs. Lions, Ty'Ron Hopper in line for third career start Fri Oct 23, 04:08 PM
Packers LB Zaire Franklin (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions after taking a knee to his shin during a collision at Thursday's practice, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. The team does not anticipate Franklin landing on injured reserve, with LaFleur saying, "I don't think it's going to be anything too long term." LaFleur expressed confidence in LBs Isaiah McDuffie, Ty'Ron Hopper and Nick Niemann, and Sunday would mark Hopper's third career start. It will be only the second game Franklin has missed in nine NFL seasons, snapping a streak of 48 consecutive games played.

Packers | Jordan Love has no game status, will play vs. Lions Fri Oct 23, 04:08 PM
Packers QB Jordan Love (back) did not receive a game status for Sunday's game against the Lions and will be available. WRs Christian Watson (ankle), Matthew Golden (shoulder), and Savion Williams (ankle) also have no game status and will be available.
| Footballguys view: The Packers were liberal with limited practices this week, but Love, Watson, Golden, and Williams are all cleared to play. Love is a QB1 in a matchup against the Lions, Watson and Golden are both high-end WR2s, and Williams has some appeal as a desperation streamer in a should-be shootout. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs 'on track to play Sunday' if he gets through Friday's practice Fri Oct 23, 11:52 AM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs is on track to play Sunday against the Lions as long as he gets through Friday's practice and continues to trend in the right direction, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list and took his "first handoff in a while" on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: The Packers' offense has been fantastic despite one of the league's most putrid run games. Matt LaFleur has deployed a run-first offense since Jordan Love took over in 2023, but it has leaned more toward a pass-happy attack without Jacobs through the first six weeks of this season. Jacobs may need a ramp-up period, but the Packers will hope to get him to 100 percent soon. He's an RB2 in Week 7 with RB1 upside over the second half of the season. |

Packers | Zaire Franklin won't play Sunday vs. Lions after knee to the shin in practice Fri Oct 23, 11:51 AM
Packers LB Zaire Franklin will not play Sunday against the Lions after taking a knee to the shin in a practice collision, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Friday. The injury is not an IR situation. Franklin, a defensive captain, is the second Packers linebacker sidelined, as the team has already lost LB Edgerrin Cooper.

Packers | Jordan Love upgraded to full participant on Thursday Thu Oct 22, 04:15 PM
Packers QB Jordan Love was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. Love was limited on Wednesday with a back injury and said there was 'no chance' it keeps him out of Sunday's game against the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Love was pretty banged up after Week 6. He was limited on Wednesday, but a full practice on Thursday puts Love on the right track to play in Week 7. We've got him in the top tier of fantasy quarterbacks against the Lions. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs takes 'first handoff in a while' as he works back toward Lions game Thu Oct 22, 12:58 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs took a handoff on Thursday, described as "the first Josh Jacobs handoff in a while." Jacobs returned to the field on Wednesday after a stint on the exempt list, and the Packers said earlier in the week that he would get a "full week of work" ahead of Sunday's game at Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Packers OC Adam Stenavich says Jacobs "looks great" as the team prepares for Week 7 against the Lions. Upon his return Sunday, we have Jacobs in the RB2 range perhaps closer to a flex play. We'll see what his usage is, but the Packers could use him early and often as they need to run the ball better than they have been without Jacobs so far this year. |

Packers | LaFleur has 'no concern' about Christian Watson, Matthew Golden despite injuries Thu Oct 22, 11:48 AM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday there is no concern about WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Matthew Golden (shoulder), even though both are on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Both receivers are a little bit banged up, but they'll be out there and should be heavily involved against the Lions on Sunday. In fact, we have both Watson and Golden as top-10 WRs in Week 7. |

Packers | Jordan Love says 'no chance' back injury keeps him out Sunday Wed Oct 21, 05:26 PM
Packers QB Jordan Love said on Wednesday there is no chance his back injury keeps him out of Sunday's game at the Lions. Love said Wednesday's walk-through was good for his sore back. The Packers held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so practice participation was estimated.

Packers | Jordan Love added to injury report, limited with back injury Wed Oct 21, 04:35 PM
Packers QB Jordan Love was listed as limited on Wednesday due to a back injury. The Packers held a walk-through instead of a full practice, making the report an estimate. Love did not miss a snap in the Week 6 win over the Cowboys. In six games this season, he has completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,684 yards with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Packers | Josh Jacobs back on the field after stint on exempt list Wed Oct 21, 08:38 AM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs is back on the field Wednesday after a stint on the Commissioner Exempt List. Jacobs is expected to get a full week of work ahead of Sunday's Week 7 game at Detroit.
| Footballguys view: Packers HC Matt LaFleur said he is undecided on whether or not Jacobs will play in Week 7 against the Lions. With no idea of his usage upon his return, Fantasy GMs should look at him as a 'what the heck' flex in Week 7 (if he plays). |

Packers | Micah Parsons won't practice this week, LaFleur doesn't rule out Week 8 return Mon Oct 19, 04:19 PM

Packers | Josh Jacobs to get 'full week of work', status for Lions game TBD Mon Oct 19, 04:12 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs will practice on Wednesday and get a full week of work, coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday, but whether he plays Sunday at Detroit has not been determined. "We feel like he's in a pretty good spot. He's been training, but he's missed the exposure to football," LaFleur said. Jacobs is coming off the Commissioner Exempt List and is eligible to play in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs has been unable to practice with the team since he went on the exempt list. So a ramp-up to get into game shape will be necessary. We spoke with Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel beat writer Tom Silverstein Sunday, and he suggested it could be a couple of games before we get the full Jacobs experience. Green Bay plays the Lions Sunday before hosting the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night in Week 8. |

Packers | Jordan Love says 'I'm good' after taking hits against Cowboys Mon Oct 19, 12:13 AM

It's part of playing the quarterback job," Love said. "You got to be able to stand in that pocket and take some hits and still deliver balls."

Packers | Javon Hargrave placed on IR, Packers 'really short' on defensive line Sat Oct 17, 05:11 PM
Packers DT Javon Hargrave was placed on injured reserve on Saturday, along with DT Jonathan Ford, ahead of Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Both had already been ruled out for the game. Green Bay has only one backup defensive lineman for its 3-4 front, and that is only if DT Anthony Campbell, who is listed as questionable, is able to play. Practice squad edge Arron Mosby was elevated for the game.

Packers | Josh Jacobs will 'immediately return' as Packers' starting RB next week at Detroit Sat Oct 17, 08:58 AM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs will immediately return as the team's starting running back next week at Detroit. Jacobs is coming off the Commissioner Exempt List and is eligible to play next week.
| Footballguys view: MarShawn Lloyd could still have a flex-worthy role as a passing-game weapon and change of pace from Jacobs, but expect Jacobs to have a big workload right away. Lloyd isn't an essential hold in short-bench leagues after this week's possible shootout with Dallas. |

Packers | Skyy Moore ruled out for Sunday night vs. Cowboys Fri Oct 16, 03:56 PM
Packers WR Skyy Moore (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Moore missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday this week. The Packers are thin at wideout with Moore out and Jayden Reed's season over due to a neck injury.
| Footballguys view: Skyy Moore had a chance at a larger role after Jayden Reed got injured. But now Moore is managing his own injury while Savion Williams nears a return. Moore is droppable in almost all formats. |

Packers | Savion Williams questionable, must be activated from IR to play vs. Cowboys Fri Oct 16, 03:56 PM
Packers WR Savion Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Cowboys. Williams is on injured reserve and must be added to the active roster to play; he has practiced in a limited capacity since the Packers opened his 21-day practice window on Oct. 7. Green Bay is thin at wideout with Skyy Moore ruled out and Jayden Reed's season over due to a neck injury. "I think where he's grown the most is his route-running ability. He's worked really hard at it," head coach Matt LaFleur said of Williams on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Williams is a fun player who can do a lot after the catch and fill the role Reed's injury vacated. He's worth stashing in dynasty and deep leagues, but he doesn't belong in a fantasy lineup yet, even if he's activated for Week 6. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs coming off Commissioner Exempt List, eligible to play next week Fri Oct 16, 03:46 PM
Packers RB Josh Jacobs is being removed from the Commissioner Exempt List on Monday and will be eligible to practice and play next week. The NFL investigation is ongoing and Jacobs can still be suspended, but as of now he will be at practice next week ahead of the Packers' Week 7 game at the Lions.
| Footballguys view: Many expected this to happen this preseason, and Jacobs will play after effectively serving a six-game suspension. The Packers have not had good production from their running backs without Jacobs out there, and Jacobs should immediately step back in as the team's primary running back. With most players across the league already feeling the wear and tear of six weeks of games and practices, Jacobs can step in with fresh legs and deliver immediate RB1 production. |

Packers | Skyy Moore misses practice again on Thursday Thu Oct 15, 01:05 PM
Packers WR Skyy Moore (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, his second straight missed session this week. Moore was injured in Sunday's win over the Bears and was in a walking boot afterward, with Bo Melton taking over in the slot.
| Footballguys view: The ankle injury was described Monday as one that could keep him out 'for a little bit' but is not season-ending. Moore was seen wearing a walking boot this week. |

Packers | Skyy Moore's ankle injury could keep him out 'for a little bit', not season-ending Mon Oct 12, 04:30 PM
Packers WR Skyy Moore's ankle injury might keep him out "for a little bit," but it is not season-ending, head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday. Moore was ruled out of Sunday's win over the Bears with the ankle injury and was later seen in a walking boot.
| Footballguys view: With Moore out, Bo Melton took over the slot role, making him the third receiver to play that role for the Packers after Moore went down. WR Jayden Reed (still on IR) and Savion Williams were previously ruled out. WR J. Michael Sturdivant saw the vast majority of his snaps on Sunday as an outside receiver. Williams could return soon, but Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft will continue to dominate the targets regardless of who the WR3 is. |

Packers | Javon Hargrave suffered a torn Achilles Mon Oct 12, 09:29 AM
Packers DT Javon Hargrave suffered a torn Achilles. Early indications on Sunday had pointed to an Achilles injury.
| Footballguys view: Hargrave, 33, signed with the Packers in the offseason. A third-round pick of the Steelers in the 2016 draft, he has spent four years in Pittsburgh, three in Philadelphia, two in San Francisco, and one in Minnesota. Last Sunday, linebacker Edgerrin Cooper was lost for the year with a torn Achilles tendon. The Packers have struggled to slow opposing ball carriers this season. These injuries won't help short that weakness up. |

Packers | Watson catches 6 passes for 143 yards, two touchdowns in win over Bears Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson caught 6 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns on 8 targets in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 12.0 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 29.3.
| Footballguys view: Watson had one easy long touchdown and one that took an exceptional concentration play to make with a defender in his face. Jordan Love's deep ball is one of the best in the league, and the chemistry he has with Watson is undeniable. If we were drafting today, Watson would be worth a first-round pick with the woeful Cowboys pass defense up in Week 6. |

Packers | Golden catches 6 passes for 123 yards in win over Bears Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden caught 6 passes for 123 yards on 7 targets in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Chicago Bears. He was projected for 12.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 15.3.
| Footballguys view: The Packers pass offense was quiet in an ugly win over Tampa Bay last week, but it came alive against the Bears ragtag secondary in Week 5. Golden has been everything the Packers hoped he would be after they took him in the first round last year and allowed Romeo Doubs to walk in free agency, making him a starter. He's a high ceiling WR3/Flex who might be a strong WR2 if the Packers offensive line holds up the way they did in this blowout win. |
