Jaire Alexander Fantasy

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander has restructured his current contract with the team. The exact details are unknown, but the team saved $28 million by restructuring the contracts of both Alexander and linebacker Preston Smith. The Packers also saved $12 million when they reworked the contract of Aaron Jones earlier in the week. All of this work currently brings the Packers to $6 million under the cap. The biggest question for the Packers remains the unknown status of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. While New England is without pieces of its passing game, Green Bay is also down a key player in Alexander. This bodes well for players like Brian Hoyer and DeVante Parker, but it's not enough of a boost to justify starting either of them in fantasy football this week. Meanwhile, the Packers remain one of the best streaming defenses.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin) won't return on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Alexander was quiet before going down with a groin injury, opening the door for Keisean Nixon to replace him and force a fumble. Nevertheless, if Alexander isn't available in Week 4 against New England, Nixon could continue to see extra work, although not enough to benefit IDP managers.
