Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) said he is doing "really well" in his rehab after last season's torn anterior cruciate ligament, speaking with reporters Sunday, May 4. "I'm in a really, really good spot," Watson said. "Just keeping the mentality there. Just working. I've got a couple more months ahead of me, but I'm attacking it every day. I'm in a really good spot."
Huddle Up: Given a pair of wide receivers were drafted, including one in the first round, last month, Watson won't be rushed back. ACL tears aren't as serious for vertical receivers of his nature when compared to players who are more reliant on lateral agility, but fantasy gamers shouldn't count on him in any setting.

Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams is being viewed by the team as a "real receiver" going forward, according to The Green Bay Press-Gazette's Pete Dougherty, though he notes that will come as Williams gains experience as a route runner. Early on, Dougherty believes the team will use Williams on things like jet sweeps and bubble screens, making comparisons to how players like Pittsburgh Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson and Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel have been utilized.
Huddle Up: Dougherty also mentions that head coach Matt LaFleur wants to work both Williams and Matthew Golden into the offense immediately, though given Green Bay's depth at the position, it's hard to envision Williams seeing enough touches to generate interest in non-keeper formats. At best, you might want to add him to your watch list to see how his role develops.

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) has been impressive in rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Watson's progress this offseason because there is a chance that he is not ready for the start of the 2025 season. He was productive before the injury and could be a starting option in leagues next season if he can recover from the injury.

Texas Christian WR Savion Williams was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 87 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: After selecting a receiver in the first round, the Packers added another weapon to an already crowded receiving room. Williams was used in a variety of ways in college, but he could struggle to make a consistent impact with so many mouths to feed in Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden could play and contribute "a lot" as a rookie, according to comments from GM Brian Gutekunst, who mentioned Golden's "elite speed" and indicated the Packers thought Golden had "some of the best hands" in this year's draft.
Huddle Up: With Christian Watson (knee) likely to miss a chunk of the season, Green Bay has an obvious need for a deep threat, which is something Golden, who ran the second-fastest 40-yard dash time (4.29) among this year's rookie class, should help fill. He's also versatile, lining up outside and in the slot. Golden brings a different dynamic to Green Bay's receiver room, and he could be an interesting late-round target, likely as the second Packers receiver off fantasy draft boards behind Jayden Reed.

Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs said he believes the team needs to add a proven No. 1 wide receiver this offseason.
Huddle Up: The Packers have several productive receivers on their roster, but Jayden Reed led the team with 857 yards. Reed, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks can be flex options against some opponents, but none of them are weekly starting option in fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is not likely to be recovered from his torn anterior cruciate ligament by the time the 2025 season starts, according to ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky.
Huddle Up: Considering the injury happened in the regular-season finale, it would be shocking if Watson was ready to go by Week 1. Furthermore, it seems unlikely Watson has any real chance of being a major contributor during the 2025 season since it typically takes athletes at least 12 months to clear the physical and mental hurdles of the injury. As such, Dontayvion Wicks should be the biggest beneficiary in the Green Bay receiving corps because he should enjoy the biggest spike in playing time.
Posted 1/21/2025 12:42 am GMT
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs recorded 737 rushing yards after contact during the 2024 regular season. He also recorded 35 broken tackles during the season.
Huddle Up: Jacobs received a lot of carries in his first year with the Packers and finished the season with 1,329 yards. He will be the main running back again next season and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is the only player on the roster who will have a preexisting injury linger into the 2025 season, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Huddle Up: Watson has not yet undergone surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and other damage to his knee. He has a long road to recovery and is unlikely to be drafted in 2025 fantasy football leagues.
Posted 1/14/2025 1:32 am GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (shoulder) said he will not need to undergo surgery on the shoulder injury he suffered during the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Reed may miss some offseason workouts, but it does not appear like he is dealing with a serious injury. He finished the regular season with 857 yards and six touchdowns and should be a solid part of the passing game in 2025. He can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues next season.
Posted 1/12/2025 11:54 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed (shoulder) left the NFC wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles late in the third quarter after a hard hit to the shoulder or collarbone area. He was helped off while holding his right arm, and he went immediately to the blue medical tent. He is questionable to return.
Huddle Up: It's been a tough day for the Packers, as Reed joins Romeo Doubs (concussion protocol) on the sidelines. Dontayvion Wicks is the top healthy receiver at the moment, with Bo Melton likely to be the other top option if Reed cannot return.
Posted 1/12/2025 11:35 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (head) suffered an apparent head or neck injury in the third quarter of the NFC wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles while attempting to make a touchdown reception in the end zone. He went up for the catch, came down awkwardly and banged his head hard on the turf. The team said he is being evaluated for concussion.
Huddle Up: Doubs has already dealt with concussion issues this season, and he was wearing a guardian cap in the game. He was helped off to the locker room, so it doesn't appear he'll be back. That's bad news, since the Packers are already short at the position. Look for Dontayvion Wicks to be the biggest beneficiary of an absence to Doubs.
Posted 1/10/2025 9:43 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 10, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Doubs will return to the lineup after a one-game absence. He has been targeted at least five times in three of his last four games and can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/10/2025 9:43 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 10, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Love will be able to play despite suffering the injury in the last game. He has thrown at least two touchdowns in only three of his last 10 games but can still be a starting option in some fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/10/2025 9:35 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 10 and has been ruled out of the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks will all see a handful of targets with Watson unavailable. All three receivers can be flex options in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/10/2025 7:43 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) practiced in full for a second straight day on Friday, Jan. 10.
Huddle Up: It appears to be a near certainty at this point that Love will play this weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles. What is less certain is how often he will throw with Green Bay relying so heavily on the running game and Philadelphia's defense being as stout as it is. Love is very much a contrarian play in DFS and a low-upside one at that.
Posted 1/09/2025 11:28 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (illness) fully participated in practice Thursday, Jan. 9.
Huddle Up: Doubs is on track to return to the lineup this week and should see a decent amount of targets during the playoff game. He can be considered at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/09/2025 11:27 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 9.
Huddle Up: Watson will not be available for the Wild Card playoff game, so Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks will be the main receivers for the Packers. All three receivers can be flex options in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/09/2025 7:54 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, Jan. 9.
Huddle Up: Love was removed from the team's Week 18 loss early for precautionary reasons, so it is not surprising that he appears to be in good shape to start in the Wild Card Round against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Packers' heavy reliance on the running game, Philadelphia's stout defense and the absence of Christian Watson (knee) are among the reasons why Love should be a low-owned player in DFS this week.
Posted 1/08/2025 11:47 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs (illness) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Huddle Up: Doubs was not available for the regular season finale but seems to be on track to play against the Philadelphia Eagles. He should see a handful of targets if he plays and can be at least a flex option in most leagues.
Posted 1/08/2025 11:38 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (thumb) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Huddle Up: Willis is a candidate to be the starting quarterback if Jordan Love is not able to play in the Wild Card playoff game. He had some success earlier in the season but can be avoided in most fantasy leagues if he plays.
Posted 1/08/2025 11:36 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 8.
Huddle Up: Watson is believed to have suffered a serious injury during the Week 18 game, so fantasy players should look for other options to use in their lineups.
Posted 1/08/2025 8:50 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 8. Love said he hopes to be able to play in the Wild Card playoff game.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Love will be able to play against the Philadelphia Eagles. He can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues if he is able to play.
Posted 1/06/2025 9:15 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (elbow) is expected to be fine after suffering an elbow injury during the Week 18 game, but head coach Matt LaFleur said Love's practice participation leading up to the Wild Card playoff game will be determined later in the week.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should keep an eye on how much Love will be able to do at practice this week, but he seems to have a good chance to play in the playoff game. He can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues if he is cleared to play.
Posted 1/06/2025 5:34 pm GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) suffered a torn ACL and additional damage to his knee, according to sources Monday, Jan. 6. His status for the start of the 2025 season is in doubt.
Huddle Up: A brutal way for Watson to end his season, the Packers will continue to lean on the trio of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. All three are solid DFS plays for the wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Meanwhile, Tucker Kraft could see a bit more targets as well. Either way, this is a crushing blow for Watson, who is likely to go undrafted in 2025.
Posted 1/06/2025 7:07 am GMT
Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis finished 10-of-13 for 136 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and ran one time for three yards in relief of Jordan Love (7-of-12 for 69 yards) in Week 18 versus the Green Bay Packers.
Huddle Up: Love (elbow) was pulled from the game for precautionary reasons early in the second quarter. Thankfully, head coach Matt LaFleur suggested that Love will be able to play in the Wild Card Round against the Philadelphia Eagles. Considering the difficult matchup and how run-heavy the Packers have become, Love should be regarded as more of a middling play in DFS and playoff fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/06/2025 2:10 am GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed caught two passes for 48 yards and ran three times for three yards in a 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Reed can be a hit-or-miss fantasy option, but he brings big-play ability to the passing attack and as an occasional runner. He could be a secret weapon for a winning daily fantasy lineup when playoff contests begin.
Posted 1/06/2025 2:04 am GMT
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft caught four of his seven targets for 36 yards in a 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Kraft emerged as a quaility tight end option for fantasy owners this year, and that trend should continue heading into the postseason.
Posted 1/06/2025 1:59 am GMT
Green Bay Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks caught five of his six targets for 49 yards in a 24-22 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Wicks is part of a crowded receiving corps, but he could be worth a gamble in playoff contests, especially if Christian Watson's knee injury keeps him sidelined.
