Allen Lazard Fantasy

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard saw a season-high six targets against the Carolina Panthers in Week 10. He only caught two of them for 27 yards. Still, Lazard might be quietly staking claim to the Packers' number-two wide receiver role. Marquez Valdes-Scantling has gone missing the last two weeks. Geronimo Allison hasn't eclipsed 50 receiving yards or caught a touchdown since Week 4. Meanwhile, Lazard has seen at least four targets in every game and has at least 40 receiving yards in four of five games. Lazard and the Packers get a bye in Week 11 before their Week 12 matchup with the tough San Francisco 49ers.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Geronimo Allison and Allen Lazard are not recommended fantasy options in Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers. Allison has recorded just 20 catches on 34 targets for 205 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. He's only been fantasy-relevant when he's caught a touchdown. In five games without Davante Adams (toe), Lazard posted 15 catches on 18 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown. If Adams or Marquez Valdes-Scantling can't play-both of these guys would have more opportunities. Still, their production and volume make them emergency flex options at best, especially against Carolina's ninth-ranked pass defense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught three of his four targets for 44 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 23-year-old stepped up in the absence of star wideout Davante Adams with 12 catches on 14 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown. It was nice to see Lazard involved even with Adams back in the fold. He's now out-targeted fellow receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Geronimo Allison the past two weeks. It remains to be seen if Lazard will keep this up or if he'll return to a reserve role. His role could be worth monitoring though it's hard to recommend any receiver in this offense besides Adams.
