Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) has been activated from injured reserve and will play in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, instantly putting him back on the fantasy radar for the final stretch of the 2025 season. Reed has been sidelined since Week 2, when he only played a handful of snaps before getting injured. His performance in the season opener was impressive, as he caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. The biggest obstacle between Reed and a fantasy-relevant role is
Christian Watson, who has 13 catches, 175 yards, and two touchdowns over his last three games. Aside from Watson, though, players like
Romeo Doubs,
Matthew Golden, and
Dontayvion Wicks don't pose a major threat of competition to Reed. In his first game back, he'll get a juicy matchup against the Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and third-most receiving touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025. Reed could be deployed as a low-end WR3/flex in most fantasy leagues.

The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup against the division rival Chicago Bears. Reed will play in Week 14 for the first time since suffering a fractured collarbone in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old wideout also entered the season dealing with a Jones fracture, but he appears to have recovered from both injuries and is good to go for Sunday. Reed has served as a dynamic weapon for the Packers since entering the league in 2023. He led Green Bay in nearly every receiving category last season, recording 55 receptions for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets, while also adding 20 carries for 163 yards and one touchdown as a runner. Reed has the talent to assert himself as Green Bay's No. 1 option even in a crowded pass-catching room. He could be eased back into action on Sunday against the Bears, and should be viewed as a low-end WR3/flex option.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs had a solid mid-season run where he was posting performances in the WR20 range. Now, Doubs appears to have taken a back seat in the receiving game with
Christian Watson becoming quarterback
Jordan Love's go-to target. Over the last four games, Doubs has finished with fewer than 50 receiving yards in three of them. Doubs managed to salvage his fantasy value with a touchdown during last week's Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions. Given his recent play, Doubs hasn't earned much faith from fantasy managers. The impending return of
Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) will make it even more difficult for Doubs to make an impact in Green Bay's crowded receiving room. For now, Doubs can be viewed as a low-end flex option for the Week 14 divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup versus the Chicago Bears. When healthy, Golden has been barely noticeable on the field. The rookie wideout has been held to under 30 receiving yards in three of his last four games. The return of
Christian Watson has played a role in Golden's lack of production. It's not going to get better for Golden with fellow wideout
Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) nearing his return from Injured Reserve, possibly this Sunday. Golden played less than 40 percent of the offensive snaps in his last two games. Even if he returns to action this weekend, Golden isn't someone to trust in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson was a popular waiver-wire pickup after starting RB
Josh Jacobs injured his knee in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants. Wilson took full advantage of Jacobs' absence in the team's Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, carrying the ball a season-high 28 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns while adding two receptions for 18 yards. Before that spike performance, the 26-year-old hadn't seen more than eight carries (Sept. 28) in a game behind Jacobs. In the win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day last Thursday, with Jacobs back in action, Wilson saw just four carries for 14 yards and wasn't targeted through the air. The 26-year-old showed that he can be successful for fantasy managers in a lead-back role, but unless Jacobs misses time with an injury again, Wilson just cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups.

Green Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out and will not come off Injured Reserve to play on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the division-rival Chicago Bears in Week 14, according to the team. Lloyd finally returned to practice for the first time earlier this week, but he's not ready to play in games just yet. The 24-year-old former third-round pick in 2024 out of USC hasn't played at all this season and managed to suit up in just one game in his rookie campaign last year due to injuries. He has reportedly put in plenty of time and effort to get his body right so that he can hopefully put his injuries in the rearview mirror for good. The Packers had high hopes for Lloyd when they drafted him, but he just hasn't been able to stay on the field. It's unclear how much more time he'll need, but when he is activated from IR, he'll merely be vying for a backup role alongside
Emanuel Wilson and
Chris Brooks behind starter
Josh Jacobs.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the divisional-rival Chicago Bears. Golden was limited for the third straight day on Friday and is in danger of missing his third consecutive game. The rookie first-rounder has dealt with multiple injuries this year, missing time with a shoulder injury as well. It's been a disappointing first season for the speedy wideout, as he's recorded only 24 receptions for 286 yards on 32 targets, and he is still looking for his first career touchdown through nine games. He has yet to see consistent playing time with Green Bay having multiple other capable pass-catchers, and it will only get tougher with the eventual return of
Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot). Golden is a risky fantasy option if he is able to play in Week 14.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears, according to the team's official website. Reed was a limited participant every day in practice for the second consecutive week, and it's still unclear if the 25-year-old wideout will be able to return from Injured Reserve on Sunday. The 2023 second-rounder suffered a fractured collarbone in Week 2 versus the Washington Commanders while also dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot that he entered the season managing. Upon returning, Reed will deal with plenty of target competition with
Romeo Doubs and
Christian Watson both having strong seasons, and he'll likely be on a pitch count in his first game back. He should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent, low-end WR3/flex in the Packers' passing attack if he is able to return in Week 14.

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit followed up their best fantasy outing of the season in Week 12 with a dud in Week 13, but they will look to right the ship against the division-rival Chicago Bears in Week 14. While the Packers continue to get to the quarterback with 32 sacks this season, they've tallied just six interceptions and five fumble recoveries on the season, good for just 24th in the NFL in takeaways. All in all, the Packers have been one of the more underwhelming fantasy D/ST options this season relative to their preseason expectations.
Caleb Williams has taken care of the ball with just five interceptions in 12 games, and adding the fact that the Bears are allowing the sixth-fewest sacks on the season, the Packers are a fringe starting option with a low fantasy points floor.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option this season, but he'll look to put his best foot forward as the Packers host the Chicago Bears in a Week 14 divisional showdown. McManus has made all of his kicks in the past two weeks, booting home all four field goal attempts and kicking all six of his extra points successfully. However, he's been just a fringe option for fantasy managers, finishing as a top-10 kicker in two of his nine games this season. The Packers should get plenty of opportunities to score, but the weather for their game looks to be very cold, with flurries also in the forecast. McManus is a low-end fantasy play this week against Chicago.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is off the injury report with three limited practices and looks to keep his run going after his best game of the season in Week 13 as the Packers host the Chicago Bears. Wicks is fresh off his Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, where he was the overall WR3 for fantasy, notching 94 yards on six receptions while bringing in two touchdowns. While Wicks has been on the field much more in recent weeks, with at least 69% routes per dropback in the past three weeks, he's a bit behind in the pecking order for Green Bay's offensive production. Those in deep fantasy leagues may find Wicks useful as a flex option in the Packers' Week 14 game against Chicago, but typical 12-team formats may have more consistent fantasy options than Wicks this week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson has been far and away the best Packers' pass-catcher for the last few weeks and will look to put forth another strong effort in Week 14's divisional showdown against the Chicago Bears. Watson has been fantasy's WR10 since Week 11, with 16.3 fantasy points per game. Additionally, he's seen first-read target percentages above 30% in each of the last three weeks, leading the team all three weeks. Watson has an excellent matchup this week against the Bears, as they've allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Combining the solid matchup with Watson's recent utilization, he's a solid fantasy WR2 option this week against the Bears.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs has been in a bit of a funk in terms of fantasy production over the last few weeks, but he'll look to get back on track in the Packers' Week 14 showdown with the Chicago Bears. Doubs had an excellent stretch of fantasy viability with three games among the top-25 wide receivers from Week 4 to Week 9. From Week 10 on, Doubs has disappointed fantasy managers with lackluster production. Doubs has averaged just 6.8 fantasy points per game in the four-game stretch starting in Week 10, and is averaging just three receptions for 25 yards per game. He's also taken a backseat to not just the running game, but also
Christian Watson, who has exceeded Doubs' production in recent weeks. Against the Chicago Bears in Week 14, Doubs is still a low-end flex option, but one that's much harder to trust than in the middle of the season.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) is off the injury report following a full practice session on Friday, and he'll be good to go for the Packers' Week 14 matchup with the Chicago Bears. Jacobs has been an awesome fantasy option this season, but last week was one of his least-productive fantasy outings with just 10.1 fantasy points. Week 13 marks just the second game in which Jacobs played the full game and didn't get in the end zone. That's how seemingly automatic Jacobs has been this season, and as the engine of the Packers' offense, Jacobs should be in a good position to do well against a middle-of-the-road Bears' run defense. Jacobs is a locked-in RB1 fantasy option in Week 14.

December 5, 2025
Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love is coming off one of his better games of the season in Week 13 and looks to continue that momentum when the Packers host the Bears in a divisional showdown in Week 14. Love was QB2 overall last week in the Packers' win over the Lions, throwing for 234 yards and four touchdowns. Even with Chicago returning Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon to their secondary, it's a secondary that can be thrown on. Add the weapons that the Packers may get back with
Jayden Reed and
Matthew Golden, who are both questionable for Week 14, and the Packers have a wealth of options for Love to throw to. Consider Love a fringe QB1 fantasy option when the Packers host the Bears in Week 14.
