Green Bay Packers RB AJ Dillon is easily in the best shape of his professional career, in the opinion of head coach Matt LaFleur.
Huddle Up: It may be too little, too late for Dillon. With that said, Green Bay will certainly embrace the possibility of having three running backs it needs to find touches for as opposed to what it had for long stretches last year when Aaron Jones was not healthy. Josh Jacobs is locked in as the starter and should be penciled in for at least 15 touches per game, while rookie MarShawn Lloyd figures to have some kind of breather back/pass-down role. Dillon could push Lloyd in camp and make things interesting, however.

Updating previous reports, Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hip) will only miss a couple of days, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Huddle Up: Lloyd is a sleeper back to at least handcuff to Josh Jacobs and target as an RB4 or RB5.

Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hip) is dealing with a hip injury, according to sources Monday, July 22.
Huddle Up: Lloyd is an intriguing rookie and a potential handcuff to Josh Jacobs. His status will need to be monitored, but he's a sleeper to watch late in drafts as long as he's healthy.

Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (toe) is dealing with a toe injury and started training camp on the PUP list, according to sources Monday, July 22.
Huddle Up: This will be something for managers to monitor, but Reed is a fringe WR2 with weekly upside as long as he's healthy.

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love will not practice until he reaches a contract extension. General manager Brian Gutekunst says a deal could be close.
Huddle Up: Love was the QB5 last season, and as long as he remains healthy, he should remain in that range this season.
Posted 7/10/2024 3:33 am GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love faced a league-high 215 blitzes in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference.
Huddle Up: Somewhat surprisingly, Love's second-half surge coincided with teams bringing the heat more often. After facing the blitz no more than 16 times once in his first eight outings (12 passing touchdowns versus eight interceptions), Love saw five or more defenders chasing after him an average of 17 times per game over the next eight games (20:3 TD-to-INT ratio). Opponents decided enough was enough after that, blitzing Love only 12 times combined over the final three contests (including both of their playoff games). Love should be considered a strong mid-range fantasy QB1 in drafts this summer.

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs said he wants to show that he can be a bigger part of the passing game this season and is willing to be a blocker in the backfield in some situations.
Huddle Up: Jacobs will receive most of the carries in the running game this season but may also be involved in the passing game, which will help his fantasy value. He should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 6/13/2024 5:52 am GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love indicated he was optimistic that the team would finalize an extension with him before the start of training camp. When asked why he was optimistic, Love said, "It's what I've heard."
Huddle Up: It's pretty much a formality that Love will be extended before the season starts. He played at an elite level over the second half of last year, and at the head of a young, improving offense he appears poised to take another step. He has the look of a low-end QB1 right now, but he could exceed that.

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (hamstring) participated in some drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 29.
Huddle Up: The Packers are taking things slow with Jacobs as he recovers from a hamstring injury. It appears he should be fine for training camp and will be a big part of the offense. He will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/24/2024 8:31 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson said he is feeling completely healthy after dealing with hamstring problems in 2023 and believes he can avoid injuries this upcoming season after building symmetry in the strength of both of his legs.
Huddle Up: Watson is one of the main options in the Packers passing game when healthy, but he should see an improvement in his numbers if he can stay healthy. He can be considered a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues this upcoming season.
Posted 5/24/2024 2:36 pm GMT
Updating previous reports, Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson had an asymmetrical stride, which led to persistent hamstring issues, according to offseason testing. He has worked on the strength and regaining symmetry in his stride.
Huddle Up: Watson could be a WR2 if he remains healthy. He'll likely go in the late-WR3 area, but if he can get through camp healthy and prove it, he has a ton of upside this year.
Posted 5/22/2024 8:07 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love is participating in voluntary workouts even though he is looking for a long-term contract from the team.
Huddle Up: Love is coming off a fantastic 2023 season and is in line for a contract extension in the near future. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues this upcoming season.
Posted 5/21/2024 7:09 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is on a program to help him avoid the hamstring issues that have plagued him through two NFL seasons. According to head coach Matt LaFleur, the Packers will feel pretty good about Watson's hamstrings holding up for the season if he can make it through training camp without another such injury.
Huddle Up: The Packers have such a deep and talented receiving corps that it might be a bit much to ask any one receiver to lead it, but a healthy Watson would be the best bet. Green Bay's training staff is generally considered one of the most conservative in the league, so every day he practices should be regarded as another positive step. Watson will likely be drafted as a WR4 in fantasy this summer, but he has WR2/3 upside.
Posted 5/21/2024 6:59 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (hamstring) is reportedly nursing a hamstring injury but is working off to the side during organized team activities as of Tuesday, May 21.
Huddle Up: This is something to monitor, but it should not be a major issue if he doesn't push himself too hard over the next few weeks. Jacobs is expected to be something of a bell cow for Green Bay this season, although rookie MarShawn Lloyd - and maybe even AJ Dillon - will mix in when the former Las Vegas Raider needs a rest.
Posted 5/20/2024 2:53 am GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love threw 18 touchdowns compared to one interception over the final eight games of the regular season.
Huddle Up: Love tossed multiple touchdowns in seven of those eight games, and he added five more touchdown passes in two playoff starts. He ended up second in the NFL with 32 touchdown passes, and he enters 2024 as a low-end QB1 candidate with some upside.
Posted 5/09/2024 4:52 am GMT
Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd could be in line for a "significant role" this season, in the opinion of the Green Bay Press-Gazette's Pete Dougherty, who notes that Lloyd is "faster and more explosive" than RB AJ Dillon, who has been the team's No. 2 running back the past few years. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said he'd like to get Lloyd on the field "as much as possible."
Huddle Up: Josh Jacobs will be RB1 as long as he's healthy, and he has top-10 potential in such a spot, but the Packers like to divvy up the workload under Matt LaFleur, so whoever emerges as RB2 would carry value as a flex and potentially more for fantasy owners. Given that Dillon has been steady but unspectacular in that role, Lloyd has a chance to push for the backup job in camp.
Posted 4/27/2024 2:43 am GMT
Southern California RB MarShawn Lloyd was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 88th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: With Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon already in the backfield already in the backfield, Lloyd will likely need an injury to see significant playing time as a rookie. Given the situation in Green Bay, Lloyd is currently more appealing in dynasty formats than in redraft leagues.
Posted 3/29/2024 4:39 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was sent to Badger Athletic Performance this offseason to better gauge his injury prevention, head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday, March 26.
Huddle Up: Watson has been plagued with constant hamstring injuries through the first two seasons of his career. The ascension of Jordan Love gives Watson WR2 upside, but managers may want to view him more in the WR3 realm until he proves he can stay healthy.
Posted 3/25/2024 11:04 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love has started preliminary contract extension talks with the Packers, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Huddle Up: Love is coming off a fantastic 2023 season and is in line for a lucrative contract in the near future. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 3/15/2024 9:06 pm GMT
Free-agent RB AJ Dillon (Packers) officially re-signed with the Green Bay Packers Friday, March 15. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Dillon probably will see a drop in his workload next season since the team will have Josh Jacobs as their main running back. Dillon can be a handcuff to Jacobs in fantasy leagues or a No. 5 fantasy back.
Posted 3/14/2024 10:28 pm GMT
Free-agent RB AJ Dillon (Packers) is expected to re-sign with the Green Bay Packers as long as he can pass a physical, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Dillon probably will see a limited workload with the team signing Josh Jacobs earlier in the offseason. He will not have a lot of fantasy value and may only be a handcuff to Jacobs or a No. 5 running back in fantasy leagues.
Posted 3/11/2024 6:34 pm GMT
Impending free agent RB Josh Jacobs (Raiders) is expected to sign with the Green Bay Packers, according to sources Monday, March 11.
Huddle Up: Going from the Raiders to the Packers certainly hurts Jacobs' fantasy value. He's likely best viewed as an RB2 type while sharing the load with Aaron Jones, whose value also takes a hit.
Posted 3/02/2024 8:21 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders impending free-agent RB Josh Jacobs is negotiating with the team and is open to signing a one-year deal, per sources on Saturday, March 2.
Huddle Up: Jacobs had a down year in 2023 after leading the NFL in rushing yards in 2022, but injury and a poor situation around him certainly played a part. Jacobs should still be considered a borderline RB1 entering 2024, although that could improve if he lands in a better situation than Las Vegas has currently.
Posted 2/26/2024 7:32 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders RB Josh Jacobs is not expected to receive the franchise tag, but the team will attempt to re-sign him, according to sources Monday, Feb. 26.
Huddle Up: Jacobs is likely to retain his RB1 value regardless of where he goes. The Raiders still have a few weeks to get a new deal done before free agency arrives.
Posted 2/18/2024 11:35 pm GMT
Las Vegas Raiders impending free-agent RB Josh Jacobs is expected to be a candidate for the franchise tag this offseason.
Huddle Up: The Raiders will have a few weeks to make a decision on Jacobs, so fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation. He will see most of the work at running back wherever he ends up and will be a starting fantasy option in all leagues.
Posted 2/01/2024 11:01 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love likely will begin contract extension talks with the Packers within the next few months, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Huddle Up: Love is coming off a terrific 2023 season and should be the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.
Posted 1/21/2024 12:46 am GMT
Green Bay Packers RB AJ Dillon (thumb, neck) is inactive for the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, Jan. 20.
Huddle Up: With Dillon sidelined, Aaron Jones will once again shoulder the load, with Emanuel Wilson and Patrick Taylor giving him a breather when needed. DFS fantasy players should lean upon Jones, although facing the 49ers rush defense is no walk in the park.
Posted 1/19/2024 12:47 am GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 18, but is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Watson was targeted only once in his return to the lineup last week but probably will be more involved in the passing game during the Divisional Round playoff game. He could be a possible flex option in some leagues but can also be avoided if better options are available.
Posted 1/19/2024 12:40 am GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (chest) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 18, but is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Reed is coming off a disappointing Wild Card playoff performance but should see a few more targets this week against the San Francisco 49ers. He earned a bigger role as the season went on and could be a flex option in some leagues this week.
Posted 1/19/2024 12:21 am GMT
Green Bay Packers RB AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 18, and is listed as questionable for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Dillon probably will be a game-time decision, so fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He will receive some touches if he is cleared to play and can be a flex option in most leagues.
