The Green Bay Packers are adding wide receiver Tavon Austin to the organization for the stretch run, giving quarterbackAaron Rodgers yet another potential deep-ball threat. Austin last appeared in the NFL last year as a member of the Cowboys, when he hauled in 13 receptions for 177 yards and one touchdown. Having previously been brought in for a workout, the Packers are immediately elevating Austin to the active roster, which should make him available for Week 13 against Philadelphia. With so many options at Rodgers' disposal, it's hard to discern a path to fantasy relevance for Austin, although he'll be a name to keep an eye on should an injury strike any of the Packers trusted pass-catching targets.
Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley (knee) is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain on Sunday night, but an MRI exam on Monday will tell the full story, according to a source. Head coach Matt LaFleur said after the Week 11 win over the division-rival Bears that initial indications are that it's not a season-ending injury. Linsley might have to miss some time, but thankfully for the team it looks like he won't miss the rest of the season. Green Bay's offensive line has been excellent in protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, as he's been sacked just 11 times in 2020. Linsley missing time would be bad news for the Packers, but it wouldn't be enough to lower Rodgers' sky-high fantasy ceiling.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was 21-for-29 for 211 yards with four touchdowns and a 132.3 passer rating in the blowout win over the division-rival Bears in Week 12 on Sunday night. Rodgers leads the league in passer rating (117.6) and is second behind MVP front-runner Patrick Mahomes in touchdown-to-interception ratio (33-4). Green Bay is averaging 31.7 points per game (second-most in the league), the most by Green Bay since 2011 (35.0 points per game) when they finished 15-1 and when Rodgers won his first MVP. He has four straight games with a 70-plus completion percentage, which is the longest active streak in the NFL. Sunday night was his 23rd career game with four or more TDs, no picks and a 125 or better passer rating, tied for the most by any player since at least 1950. He's been sacked just 11 times in 2020 and continues to dice up opposing defenses at will. Continue to roll with Rodgers with confidence as the fantasy playoffs approach.
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught five passes for a team-high 67 receiving yards with one touchdown in the Packers 41-25 win over the Bears in Week 12. After a lull in production, Tonyan has re-emerged as a threat in a dynamic Packers passing game. Tonyan added the nail to the coffin with a 39-yard touchdown catch in the second half and now has seven receiving scores on the season. Tonyan now has 10 receptions and two touchdowns over his last two games and will go up against the Eagles in Week 12.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught six passes for 61 yards with one touchdown in the Packers 41-25 thumping of the Bears in Week 12. Adams extended his touchdown streak to six games on the first drive of the game, coming down with a 12-yard score. Adams now has nine touchdowns during that six-game span and 11 on the season. No matter the matchup, Adams is a threat to score and post WR1 numbers. His next opponent will be the Eagles in Week 11.
