Jace Sternberger Fantasy

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (thigh) and tight end Jace Sternberger (concussion, illness) were among five players that did not practice on Wednesday. Williams was injured in the Week 15 win over the Panthers and could be in danger of sitting out in Week 16 against the Titans on Sunday night. He had 10 carries in Week 14 but saw just one carry for six yards and two catches for 14 yards last Saturday. Williams doesn't have any standalone value behind Aaron Jones. Rookie A.J. Dillon would see a bigger role behind Jones if Williams can't play. Sternberger has missed the last two games with his head injury. Even if he returns this weekend, he's not a realistic fantasy option behind Robert Tonyan.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger entered training camp with hopes of becoming a breakout player in the offense this season but has had a "quiet" camp, according to Packers reporter Andy Herman. The second-year player missed the first half of last season due to injuries and largely was non-existent when returned to the field. But many speculated that Sternberger, not teammate Marcedes Lewis, would be the one to attract the eye of quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the passing game among tight ends in 2020. That hasn't materialized in practice to this point, making Sternberger an even more risky selection in upcoming fantasy drafts as a late-round flier.

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger is the favorite to replace Jimmy Graham as the team's pass-catching tight end in 2020. Sternberger was placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a left ankle injury in the final preseason game before his rookie season last year, and he didn't see the field again until Week 9 of the regular season. The 23-year-old (24 in June) played in six games (one start) and had no catches on just one target during the regular season. But with Graham now in Chicago and the Packers not drafting a single wide receiver to help out Davante Adams, quarterback Aaron Rodgers could lean heavily on Sternberger in his second season, especially in the red zone. He'll be worth a late-round flier in deep leagues as a low-end TE2 with upside.
