Jordan Love Is A Top-Five QB In Week 7
Jordan Love looks to keep his strong run of fantasy production going as the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7. Since returning to the Packers' lineup in Week 5, Love has had two QB3-or-better performances under his belt and has tossed multiple touchdown passes in every game he's played this season. With the Texans being a bit of a pass-funnel defense, Love should have plenty of time to connect with his pass-catching weapons and get some volume as well. With both offenses having the potential for plenty of passing, Love should be considered among the top handful of fantasy options at the position heading into Week 7.Source: RotoBaller
Green Bay Packers quarterback Dontayvion Wicks Questionable For Sunday
Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Wicks left last weekend's game early with a shoulder injury but was able to log three consecutive limited practice sessions this week, which is a positive sign for his status. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should continue to monitor their status throughout the weekend. If Wicks can play, he should be viewed as a flex option, as he will face heavy competition for targets in a deep Green Bay receiving room. However, facing the Houston Texans, who have allowed the 17th-most points to opposing wideouts, could provide Wicks some upside, especially if the game is high scoring as the 48 O/U point total suggests.Source: Green Bay Packers

Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks All Limited Again
Jayden Reed (ankle), Christian Watson (ankle) and Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) were all limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Reed and Wicks suffered injuries in the Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals, while Watson returned last Sunday after missing one game due to an ankle sprain. The fact that all three are practicing this week is a good sign that they'll be available this weekend against the Houston Texans. Of the trio of wideouts, Reed is the best fantasy option and enters Week 7 action as the WR3 in half-PPR scoring with 27 catches for 442 yards and three TDs while adding 110 rushing yards and an additional score. Assuming all three play against Houston, Reed will be a must-start in fantasy, while Watson and Wicks are more of boom/bust WR4/flex options.Source: SI.com - Bill Huber

MarShawn Lloyd Not Practicing Yet
MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) is not practicing yet despite being eligible to return to practice while on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. "I think he's getting closer," head coach Matt LaFleur said. When asked if Lloyd would return to practice next week, LaFleur said, "We'll see." Lloyd made his NFL debut in the Week 2 win over the Indianapolis Colts and carried the ball six times for 15 yards while catching his only target for a three-yard gain. He's been on IR ever since. The 23-year-old has battle multiple injuries early in his NFL career, but he still has the potential to become the direct backup to Josh Jacobs in Green Bay before the end of the year. With a return date up in the air, Lloyd is only worth stashing for now in really deep-mixed and dynasty/keeper leagues.Source: The Athletic - Matt Schneidman
Green Bay Packers rookie running back Packers Sign Brandon McManus
Brandon McManus to a one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. McManus is expected to be kicking for the team right away in Week 7 this Sunday versus the Houston Texans at Lambeau Field. It's been a revolving door at kicker in Green Bay for the last several seasons. Rookie Anders Carlson was wildly inconsistent last year before Brayden Narveson missed five of his 17 field-goal tries in six games this year. The Packers will be hoping the 33-year-old McManus can bring some stability to the position. In his 10 years in the NFL (nine with the Denver Broncos), McManus has made 81.4% of his field-goal attempts. In 17 games last year for Jacksonville, he went 30-for-37 on field goals and 35-for-35 on extra points. He could quickly return to the fantasy radar with the Packers.Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter
The Green Bay Packers signed former Jacksonville Jaguars veteran kicker Romeo Doubs Back To "Regular Self" After Two-TD Return
Romeo Doubs returned to form with a two-touchdown performance following a team-imposed suspension. He says he is back to his "regular self." He was suspended for one game due to conduct detrimental to the team after missing two practice days and not communicating about his absence. Although Doubs didn't start the game and wasn't targeted during the first two series, he made an impact when called upon, catching three passes for 49 yards and two touchdowns. These marks were significant as they represented his first touchdowns of the season after going scoreless in the four games leading up to his suspension. Doubs aims to maintain this momentum heading into a crucial matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 7, making him a player to watch for fantasy managers hoping he can replicate his impressive return.Source: Around The NFL @AroundTheNFL

Packers D/ST With Three Fumble Recoveries In Week 6 Win
Source: ESPN
The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit was excellent for the majority of the afternoon as the Packers were victorious over the Arizona Cardinals 34-13 in Week 6. For the first time this season, the Packers did not record an interception or a sack in a game, but they forced three fumbles and recovered each of them. The Packers held the Cardinals to just 303 total yards and held most of the Cardinals' weapons in check. If you play in fantasy leagues that remove points for points allowed, the Packers gave up just 13 points. Coupled with the fumble recoveries, the Packers' effort should be solid for fantasy managers. Green Bay will host the Houston Texans in Week 7, where despite the Texans' offensive prowess, the Packers will be a low-end startable defense and special teams' unit.Tucker Kraft Disappoints With Just Two Receptions In Week 6

Dontayvion Wicks Says He's "Day-To-Day"
Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) didn't return to Sunday's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. After the game, the wideout reported that while he was in pain, he just had issues moving it after the injury. Fortunately, he classified himself as "day to day" with a "sprain," adding he's "going to be good" for the Week 7 matchup versus the Houston Texans. Of course, fantasy managers will monitor his condition throughout the week. But if he can't suit up, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs will likely split the leftover targets from Jordan Love.Source: Ryan Wood
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed Scores, Leads Packers With Six Targets In Victory
Jayden Reed led the Packers with six targets and put a touchdown on the board as the Packers handled the Arizona Cardinals 34-13 in Week 6. Reed scored the first points of the game with five-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Jordan Love. In the first half, Reed hurt his ankle, was deemed questionable to return but came back into the game. Reed caught all six of his targets for 28 yards plus a score and had a rushing attempt for no gain. While Reed didn't have an extraordinary day on the stat sheet, he saved his day with that first-quarter touchdown and should have a better day when the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7. Consider Reed a low-end WR1 for that matchup.Source: ESPN
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson Scores, Leads Packers With 68 Yards In Week 6 Victory
Christian Watson (ankle) was questionable on the injury report this week but played, led the Packers in receiving yards, and added a touchdown reception as the Packers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 34-13. Watson reeled in three receptions on four targets for a team-leading 68 yards, including a 44-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter where Watson dusted his defender and quarterback Jordan Love put the ball on him for an easy touchdown. Watson has a lot of competition for targets and the production falls to different players each week. Because of that, that puts Watson into low-end flex territory for fantasy managers as the Packers host the Houston Texans in Week 7.Source: ESPN
