Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) could return to practice by the end of next week, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Huddle Up: Jacobs has been sidelined for around a week because of the injury, so he will not be rushed back to practice. He will see most of the work at running back if healthy and will be a starting option in all leagues.

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson failed to catch his only target during the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 13.
Huddle Up: Watson has battled injuries in his career, but when healthy, he has been a big-play weapon for the Green Bay offense. While Watson can be a little dependent on those big plays, he is still worth targeting as a WR2, and you can expect him to deliver his share of WR1 weeks, as well.

Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed caught one of his two targets for 19 yards in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday, Aug. 13.
Huddle Up: Reed has a good chance to claim the No. 2 receiver role across from Christian Watson, assuming he can fend off Matthew Golden. If Reed does open the year as a starter, he could end up being a flex option for fantasy owners.

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love completed three of his five passes for 18 yards in the preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Huddle Up: While Love will deliver an occasional big game, he has been a midrange fantasy quarterback overall. That seems unlikely to change this season, and Love should be targeted as a QB2.

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love playing in the Packers' preseason opener against the Steelers is the current plan, according to HC Matt LaFleur on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
Huddle Up: Love's fantasy value has always been tied to whether Matt LaFleur can take the training wheels off of him, as Love has been QB17 and QB15 over the last two seasons in a run-heavy system in Green Bay. If the team decides to pass a little more, it makes Love a low-end QB1 each week. But if we see the status quo and the playcalling limiting what Love can do, then we're stuck with a player we don't get enough upside from to start in fantasy each week.

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) will miss "at least" another week of practice, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Huddle Up: Jacobs being out isn't great news, but it isn't bad either at this point. He can still be regarded as one of the better fantasy running backs in 2026 and be an RB1 in your fantasy lineup.

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) returned to practice on Tuesday, Aug. 11.
Huddle Up: Golden is in with Christian Watson and Jayden Reed competing for targets in the Packers' offense. Golden has some ground to make up behind both of them, as they were given contract extensions showing the team is fully invested in them. Golden could be a bench stash in case of injury or a flex play in deeper leagues.

Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks (hamstring) was able to take part in an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9. He was practicing for the first time at training camp after starting on the non-football injury (NFI) list due to a hamstring injury.
Huddle Up: Brooks is in competition for the No. 2 running back job behind starter Josh Jacobs. Brooks is looking to hold off challenges from MarShawn Lloyd and Pierre Strong Jr., as well as Damien Martinez and Jaden Nixon. As a standalone option, he isn't likely to have a ton of value, with Jacobs serving as the workhorse. However, for those with stock in Jacobs, Nixon is a viable handcuff in the final rounds on draft day as insurance.

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (toe) did not take part in a closed indoor practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to a toe injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that the injury is not a long-term concern.
Huddle Up: Golden is trying to win the No. 2 receiver job in a training camp battle with Jayden Reed. If Golden ends up starting opposite Christian Watson, he should have some value as a WR4 or flex option in leagues of 12 or more teams. Otherwise, he is worth a look as a late-round flier for depth at the position.

Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (ankle) did not at an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9, due to an ankle injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that the injury is not a long-term concern.
Huddle Up: Reed is expected to start opposite Christian Watson in the new-look offense, now that Romeo Doubs has moved on. Reed is trying to fend off a challenge from Matthew Golden for the job. If Reed is able to serve as the No. 2 receiver in Green Bay, he would be a solid low-end WR3 or flex fantasy option in most leagues.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) was given the day off and did not practice Friday, Aug. 7.
Huddle Up: The Packers opted to give Tucker some extra rest as he works his way back from the knee injury that ended his 2025 season prematurely. Kraft had emerged as one of the better tight ends prior to going down, and he should be back in the thick of the TE1 conversation this year.

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (groin) did not practice on Thursday, Aug. 6. The injury isn't considered to be long-term.
Huddle Up: Jacobs being healthy long-term means he is still set to be a potential RB1 this season. Until told otherwise, fantasy players should treat their Jacobs shares as business as usual.

Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams is competing with WRs Bo Melton, Skyy Moore, and J. Michael Sturdivant for the No. 4 receiver job, in the opinion of ESPN's Ben Solak.
Huddle Up: Williams, a third-round pick in 2025, played sparingly as a rookie, totaling 21 combined touches for 115 yards and a touchdown. We'll see what kind of role he fills in Year 2, though the lack of buzz is a bit concerning. He's not worth drafting in any league right now, but he'd be one to potentially keep an eye on during the season if any of the top three (Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed) were to be sidelined.

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden is set to "step cleanly" into the role that current New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs filled for the Packers last season, according to ESPN's Ben Solak, who notes that with Doubs and Philadelphia Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks gone, there are 131 targets that are available to be filled this year.
Huddle Up: Unlike recent seasons, the Packers have a clear-cut top three with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Golden. Doubs easily led the team in targets a year ago, and if Golden is truly sliding into that specific role, he could have some untapped upside -- certainly on paper, Golden, a first-round pick in 2025, has more physical talent than Doubs, a former fourth-rounder. If you can grab Golden as a WR4, he might be comfortably outperform that designation.

Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed worked alongside WR Christian Watson in two-receiver sets on Sunday, Aug. 2.
Huddle Up: With Romeo Doubs no longer in the picture, Reed should be competing with Matthew Golden for targets behind Watson. If Reed lands ahead of Golden in the pecking order, he could become a viable WR4 candidate.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) has a chance to participate in the joint practice with the Arizona Cardinals later this month if he does not suffer any setbacks, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Huddle Up: Kraft has been making good progress in his recovery and seems to be on track for the start of the regular season. He was playing very well before his injury and will be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues if he is cleared to play.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 31, and will practice.
Huddle Up: Kraft was a solid TE1 with a 32-489-6 line before tearing his ACL. He'll be a low-end TE1 option in fantasy again this season.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) expects to play in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, July 28. Schneidman also said, 'I wouldn't be surprised if he's the highest paid tight end in the league here in the next couple weeks.'
Huddle Up: Kraft was one of the most efficient tight ends in the NFL before a season-ending knee injury at midseason derailed his breakout. With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks out of Green Bay, the condensed pass-catching room sees Kraft as a top-two target on the Packers when healthy. Kraft will likely be a top-six pick at the position in the middle rounds, but in tight end premium formats that emphasize receptions, Kraft goes down to a top-10 tight end.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, July 27.
Huddle Up: Kraft is still recovering from a serious knee injury, but there is a chance that he will be ready for the start of the regular season. Fantasy players will need to see when he is cleared to return to practice because he can be a No. 1 fantasy tight end when healthy.

Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Monday, July 27.
Huddle Up: Brooks is expected to compete for the No. 2 running back job, so fantasy players will need to see when he will be able to practice. He is unlikely to see much playing time if Josh Jacobs is healthy and can probably be avoided in most leagues.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft is entering the final season of his contract and the Packers hope to get an extension done with him, in the opinion of Jordan Schultz on Monday, July 20.
Huddle Up: Kraft was one of the most efficient tight ends in the NFL before a season-ending knee injury at midseason derailed his breakout. With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks out of Green Bay, the condensed pass-catching room sees Kraft as a top-two target on the Packers when healthy. Kraft will likely be a top-six pick at the position in the middle rounds, but there's always a chance that he could start training camp on the PUP list.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) would not say whether he will be on the field when training camp begins.
Huddle Up: Kraft was on his way to a career year when he went down with a knee injury, and while he has said he expects to be ready for Week 1, it would go a long way to easing concerns if he is able to participate in training camp. Assuming he is healthy, Kraft has definite TE1 potential.

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs ranked 17th in yards after contact last season after ranking third in the category the previous season.
Huddle Up: Jacobs' yards per carry also dropped, but while he failed to reach 1,000 rushing yards, he did score 14 total touchdowns. Jacobs has 30 scores in his two seasons in Green Bay, and he should handle a majority of the touches again in 2026. Jacobs projects as a solid RB2.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft and the Packers may get a 'lucrative extension' done before the season as both sides have stated their desire to go forward together, in the opinion of Rob Demovsky on Tuesday, June 30.
Huddle Up: Kraft was on his way toward a breakout season before a Week 9 ACL injury derailed that trajectory in the short term. It remains to be seen if Kraft is ready for Week 1 in 2026, but he's one of the most productive and efficient tight ends in fantasy football. He's easily a top-eight tight end for fantasy and should be a locked-in starter when healthy.

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson said that his individual goals are to have at least 10 touchdowns and 1,100 receiving yards during the 2026 regular season, which would both be career highs.
Huddle Up: The 27-year-old Watson signed a four-year, $110.5 million contract extension earlier this month but has had difficulty staying on the field due to injuries. He has never played more than 15 games in a season and has never caught more than 41 passes or accumulated more than 611 receiving yards in any of his four seasons. The talent is there but Watson should be viewed as a WR3 option in fantasy leagues because of the medical risk.

Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd is more than just a complementary back to RB Josh Jacobs, according to running backs coach Ben Sirmans. "Not only does he give you something alongside with Josh, I mean he can do things that the other guys can't, in terms of his speed and quickness," Sirmans said.
Huddle Up: Lloyd has battled injuries early in his career, but if he can stay healthy, he could add some explosiveness to the Green Bay running game. The Packers will likely give Lloyd every opportunity to win the backup role, and he will looks like the preferred handcuff for Jacobs for now.

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden worked with WR Christian Watson in two-receiver sets during minicamp.
Huddle Up: Golden is coming off a quiet rookie season, but if he can secure the No. 2 receiver role, it should increase his opportunities and raise his fantasy floor. Keep tabs on Golden's role throughout training camp. He could be a rebound candidate and a WR4 with some upside.

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love said he spent the offseason working to improve his footwork in the pocket. "My biggest thing that I've noticed since I got back is just my feet in the pocket, trying to be as smooth and consistent as possible," Love said. "When I go through my reads, get into my hitches and not getting antsy, not getting to that point where you're trying to move through the pocket too fast."
Huddle Up: Love is coming off his most consistent year as a starter, but while he was largely steady and efficient, he didn't have a ton of explosive performances. Love is best viewed as a high-floor QB2, although he certainly has the potential to make a leap.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft (knee) said he expects to be ready for Week 1 and to be able to handle his normal workload.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Kraft during training camp to see if he stays on schedule with his recovery. He was a big part of the Packers passing game before the injury and should see a good amount of targets each game if healthy. He can be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Updating previous reports, Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson's four-year deal is worth up to $110.5 million, but the base value is $97.5 million over five years. The deal includes $18.5 million in incentives related to Pro Bowls, catches, receiving yards and touchdowns.
Huddle Up: Watson had a 35-611-6 line in 10 games last season. He was the WR18 in PPR leagues over the last five weeks in 2025 while only playing in four games during the stretch. That's the kind of production you can get when he's on the field. He has played in 14, nine, 15 and 10 games in each of his four seasons. He'll be a great WR3 with some injury risk attached.
