No Concerns For Jordan Love After Injury Scare

There aren't any apparent concerns for Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (thigh), who was seen limping slightly late in the Week 15 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. Head coach Matt LaFleur said Love took a shot to his thigh but doesn't expect him to be limited in practice preparation for the team's Week 16 contest on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints. The 26-year-old didn't miss a single snap against Seattle and finished 20-for-27 for 229 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the win. Love is averaging 218 yards per game with seven touchdowns and no interceptions in his last four games and should be considered at least a low-end QB1 for fantasy managers in the semifinals in most leagues in a favorable primetime matchup against New Orleans this week.

Josh Jacobs’ Touchdown, 136 Total Yards Lift Packers In Week 15 Victory

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was a utilization monster as he touched the ball 30 times and was an integral part of the team's 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Setting the tone early in game was Jacobs, as he touched the ball in 9-of-10 plays on the game's opening drive that ended on a Jacobs rushing touchdown from one yard out. Jacobs ended the night with 26 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown, as well as catching 4-of-4 targets for 42 yards through the air. It was a continuation of a massive run for Jacobs as he's scored nine touchdowns in his past five games. With the Packers going back home to Lambeau Field to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 and a must-start option for fantasy managers.

Christian Watson Leads Packers In Targets, Tallies 56 Yards

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson helped co-lead the Packers in targets and was a solid contributor in the Packers' 30-13 win against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Watson co-led the Packers in targets with Jayden Reed and was their downfield thread on the boundary, leading the team with 56 yards receiving. Watson's long catch of 36 yards helped the Packers set up a second-quarter field goal. His 56-yard effort comes off the heels of a 114-yard game in Week 14, so it does feel like a disappointment, but Romeo Doubs returning from concussion protocol may have spread the targets out just a bit. With Watson and the Packers heading back home to take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, Watson should be considered a volatile flex option for fantasy purposes.

A Two-Score Return For Romeo Doubs In Packers Victory

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs made his return from concussion protocol and made a huge statement for the Packers in their 30-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Doubs, who hadn't played since Week 12, cleared concussion protocol without an injury designation after three consecutive full practices to score twice and catch three passes for 40 yards on five targets on the evening. Doubs' second touchdown in the fourth quarter was an excellently thrown ball by Jordan Love where Doubs had to reach low to where only he could make a play on it, cementing the Packers' victory to put them up by three scores. With Doubs back in the fold for the Packers, Green Bay will host the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. For fantasy managers, Doubs is a solid flex option in a good matchup.

Jayden Reed’s 61 Total Yards Help Pace Packers In Week 15 Win

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was used all over the field and was a solid contributor in the Packers' 30-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Reed's Week 14 was one to forget with just one target and zero catches, but he co-led the Packers in targets with Christian Watson this week. Notching five catches for 34 yards on six targets, it wasn't an overly impressive stat line for Reed but combined with his three rushing attempts for 27 yards, he still put up double-digit fantasy points. Reed had as many carries tonight (3) as he has in the last five games combined, so the Packers' renewed focus on involving him in the team's offensive gameplan was evident. Next week, the Packers head home to face the New Orleans Saints where Reed should be considered a low-end WR3 that has a high floor but a low ceiling for fantasy managers.

Two Catches For Tucker Kraft In Week 15 Victory

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft had a pedestrian night at the office in the Packers' 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Kraft did not see a lot of volume, as he only had two passes come his way. He caught both for 34 yards as he was lost in the shuffle with Romeo Doubs (concussion) returning as another pass-catching weapon for quarterback Jordan Love. Kraft's fantasy value has been solid for much of the season so to leave this dud in the fantasy playoffs is a bit disappointing. The Packers head back home to Lambeau Field and will take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, where fantasy managers hope he is able to put forth more production. Consider Kraft a low-end fantasy TE1 for that matchup.

Jordan Love Solid With Two Touchdown Passes In Packers’ Win

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was efficient and engineered the Packers' offense in their 30-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Love was an economical 20-of-27 passing for 229 yards and two touchdowns through the air, plus a four-yard run on the ground. Both of Love's touchdowns went to Romeo Doubs in his first game action since Week 12 after clearing concussion protocol. Love's touchdown with 4:59 was perfectly placed and it was the game-sealing touchdown, which put them up three possessions. With the Packers heading home to host the New Orleans Saints in Week 16, Love is on the edge of being a fantasy starter based on recent play. However, with the strength of the Packers' offense and a good matchup on deck, Love should be started in most fantasy leagues.

Brandon McManus Has Tough Matchup

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus knocked down all five of his kicks during last week's loss to the Detroit Lions The veteran kicker has been reliable lately by making all of his kicks over the last four games. It appears the Packers have solved their problem at the kicker spot with the 33-year-old succeeding on every chance he gets. Fantasy managers might want to be cautious about starting McManus in Week 15. They play a Seattle Seahawks defense that done a nice job at keeping kickers in check. Fantasy managers might want to look for a kicker with a better matchup for Week 15.

Christian Watson Merely A Flex Option In Week 15 Against Seattle

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been hot and cold this season with his fantasy production but looks to keep his good fortunes rolling as the Packers head west to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. Watson is coming off a 114-yard performance against the Detroit Lions last week and has two 100-games in his last four games. These games haven't come with too much target volume as he caught four balls in each 100-yard game. As a wide receiver who is dependent on the big play, Watson's fantasy skill set is volatile, but with Romeo Doubs (concussion) active and out of concussion protocol, Watson's routes may come down slightly as he is usually the receiver that rotates in give Dontayvion Wicks some work. That said, with Watson able to do damage on few targets, he's a boom-or-bust flex option this week against the Seahawks in Week 15.

Tucker Kraft A Low-End TE1 Against Seattle In Week 15

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been a solid fantasy tight end for much of the season and looks to keep that run going as the Packers face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Kraft has put together three straight double-digit fantasy performances, including last week against the Lions where he scored a touchdown on three catches for 41 yards. With seven touchdown grabs this season, Kraft is tied with Mark Andrews for second in touchdowns among tight ends, only behind George Kittle. With Kraft getting in the end zone and earning some consistent volume for the Packers, Kraft is plenty startable in Week 15 for fantasy managers.

Jayden Reed A Boom-Or Bust WR3 Against Seahawks

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed disappointed fantasy managers last week but looks to right the ship this week as the Packers head to Seattle to face the Seahawks in Week 15. Last week against the Lions, Reed earned just one target and has zero catches for the first time this season. Prior to that, Reed had been a boom-or-bust fantasy option with a 19.7-fantasy point effort in Week 13 with two touchdowns on just 24 yards and three receptions. Seattle has held slot receivers to the sixth-lowest fantasy points per target since Week 11, so while Reed should be started for his massive upside, the floor is very low as well. Reed is a low-end WR3 or a high-end flex play this week for fantasy managers.

Consider Jordan Love A QB Streamer In Week 15

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love looks to get back into fantasy managers' good graces with a standout performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Love has been good, not great with three straight games where he hasn't been a fantasy QB1. The Packers being primarily run-focused hasn't helped with running back Josh Jacobs' eight touchdowns in his last four games. Getting Romeo Doubs (concussion) should help Love as Doubs has cleared concussion protocol and will be active for his first game action since Week 12. Love will have his full complement of pass-catchers back, but Seattle's pass defense has been excellent lately as they've allowed the fourth-lowest yards per attempt to quarterbacks since Week 11. Love is more in the streaming category of fantasy quarterback rather than a locked-in starter for Week 15.

Lock In Josh Jacobs With RB1 Treatment Against Seahawks

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a touchdown-scoring machine for the Packers as of late and will look to continue that run going when Green Bay heads west to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in Week 15. Jacobs has scored eight touchdowns in his last four games, including two of those games with three touchdowns scored. Averaging 73 rushing yards, 33 receiving yards, and 24.6 fantasy points per game in the last four contests, Jacobs has been RB2 in that span only behind just Saquon Barkley. Seattle has given up the seventh-most rushing yards per game (109.5) this season, so with the Packers being a run-heavy team overall and gladly giving Jacobs all he can handle in terms of rushing volume, consider Jacobs a locked-in RB1 for Week 15.

Romeo Doubs Clears Concussion Protocol, Flex-Worthy In Week 15

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) has cleared concussion protocol after three consecutive full practices and will be active for the Packers' Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Doubs has missed two full games since suffering a concussion during the Packers' Week 12 game against the San Francisco 49ers. As a fantasy asset, Doubs has been hit or miss in terms of scoring fantasy points but has been the most consistent player in terms of being on the field as he's run routes on 85-95% of the Packers' dropbacks when active in full games. Against the Seahawks, Doubs is a volatile low-end flex option.

Romeo Doubs Clears Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. It appears Doubs is ready to go after missing each of the two weeks due to a concussion. Doubs hasn't been a great fantasy option lately with four or less receptions in each of his last four games. He does have a plus matchup against the Seahawks secondary this weekend, but is more of a flex option than anything else for Week 15.

Luke Musgrave • TE • Packers

Luke Musgrave On The Practice Field Again On Thursday

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) practiced for the second straight day on Thursday. The Packers officially opened Musgrave's 21-day practice window on Wednesday to return from Injured Reserve. He was listed as limited on Wednesday and will likely get the same designation on Thursday. The 24-year-old will be eligible to come off IR this weekend to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night, but the Packers will make that decision on Saturday. Even if Musgrave returns to the field in Week 15, he'll likely be on a pitch count after not playing since Week 4. Before his injury, Musgrave was the clear TE2 in Green Bay behind Tucker Kraft, too, catching only five of his seven targets for 22 yards and no touchdowns in four games played. Musgrave should remain on the waiver wire in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Romeo Doubs Practicing Again On Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) was at practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Doubs was listed as a full participant on Wednesday, although head coach Matt LaFleur said he's still working through the league's concussion protocol. The 24-year-old pass-catcher suffered a concussion in the Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers and hasn't played since, but a full practice on Wednesday suggests he's well on his way to clearing the concussion protocol and playing on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. His return this weekend would take away valuable targets from fellow wideouts Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks. The third-year wideout only has two touchdowns on the year and has gone over 50 receiving yards in four of his 10 games in 2024. If Doubs is active against Seattle, he'll be a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex.

Romeo Doubs Still In Concussion Protocol But Practices In Full

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. "We're making progress but he's still in the protocol," LaFleur said. Doubs suffered a concussion in the Week 12 win over the San Francisco 49ers and has missed each of the last two games. Although he still needs to pass through the NFL's concussion protocol, he appears to be well on his way this week and could return to game action this Sunday night versus the Seattle Seahawks. We won't know more on the 24-year-old's Week 15 status until later in the week, and fantasy managers could be presented with a difficult decision if he's questionable to play on Sunday night. Doubs currently ranks fourth in receiving yards on the team with 483 and third in receptions (34) while scoring two touchdowns in 10 games. If he's active, he'll be a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in fantasy.

Luke Musgrave Returns To Practice

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after having his practice window opened to return from Injured Reserve. The 2023 second-round pick has not played since Week 4 after suffering an ankle injury that required surgery. The Packers will now have 21 days to activate him to the roster. Even if Musgrave returns before the regular season wraps up, he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar after the emergence of fellow second-year tight end Tucker Kraft. Kraft was playing more snaps than Musgrave before his injury, so we should expect that to continue into the late quarter of the season. So far this year, Musgrave has totaled just five receptions for 22 yards. That said, his usage will be worth monitoring, and he could make an impact in the NFL postseason.

Packers To Designate Certain Plays For Jayden Reed?

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday night, which was especially disappointing with Romeo Doubs (concussion) out. Head coach Matt LaFleur insinuated that the Packers will look to get Reed more involved moving forward with specific packages that make sure he touches the football. "Where we can be better, and I talked to Jayden about this, is just making sure we have some of those plays for him in the game plan where he's tagged to go in there and play wideout. Because he's certainly an impactful player," LaFleur said. Reed, one of the team's best playmakers, only played 50% of the snaps on Thursday and was targeted only once. The 24-year-old could get the squeaky-wheel treatment in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he's been boom or bust for fantasy managers all year with one game all year with more than six targets.
