Allen Lazard Fantasy

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught six of his eight targets, gaining 116 yards, during the team's 27-24 overtime victory over the New England Patriots Sunday. As the 26-year-old has worked his way back to 100% since injuring his ankle before Green Bay's season opener, Lazard has seen his target share increase each of the past three weeks. The 116 yards were by far his most in a single game this year, and the fifth-year receiver finally looked to be past the injury. Lazard was tied for the most targets Sunday with rookie Romeo Doubs but should still be considered quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top target. The Iowa State alum will face a stiff New York Giants defense in London next week, who has been one of the top defenses against the wide receiver position for fantasy purposes. However, with the high volume of targets expected to go his way, Lazard should be considered a WR3/FLEX option for Week 5.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) will face the New England Patriots in Green Bay this Sunday. Lazard was a limited participant in practice until Friday this week and has been left off the final injury report. The 26-year-old has started slow since returning from an ankle injury but has found the end zone in each of the past two games he's played and saw his targets double from Week 2 to Week 3. Lazard will face a New England defense Sunday that has held fantasy wide receivers to the fifth-lowest points per game through three weeks. However, with the fifth-year receiver being the top target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers when the team is in the red zone, it would not be a surprise if Lazard ended the day with another score. Lazard is a solid FLEX option in Week 4.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught four of his six targets, gaining 45 yards and scoring a touchdown during the team's 14-12 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old was limited in practice this week again due to the ankle injury he suffered before the regular season opener, but he came through for fantasy managers by catching his second touchdown of the season. Still potentially playing at less than 100%, Lazard was second in total targets to rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs on Sunday. The fifth-year receiver should continue to see a high target share moving forward, with Sammy Watkins being placed on IR this past weekend, and he has a slew of favorable matchups coming up over the next month. Lazard will face a New England defense next week that just surrendered four passing touchdowns to the Lamar Jackson-led Ravens.
