Across 13 games this season, Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love has completed 67.1% of his pass attempts for 3,028 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. The 27-year-old has played some of his best football in recent weeks, recording seven touchdown passes over his last two games. The Packers prefer to operate with a run-heavy approach, which limits Love's production upside. He's attempted fewer than 30 passes in seven out of 13 starts this season. However, Love is highly efficient, averaging 7.8 yards per pass attempt. If he can continue his recent run of touchdown production, Love could emerge as a consistent fantasy QB1 down the stretch of the season. The Packers will take on the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Baltimore Ravens over the next three weeks.

The Green Bay Packers have elevated running back
Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. With top Green Bay running backs
Josh Jacobs (knee) and
Emanuel Wilson (illness) both questionable for Sunday, the Packers could be forced to turn to Strong Jr. and
Chris Brooks in the backfield. The 27-year-old Strong Jr. has yet to appear in a game so far in 2025. Across 14 games with the Cleveland Browns in 2024, he recorded 212 scrimmage yards on 40 touches. Brooks has just 66 total carries across 37 career NFL games, so it's unclear who Green Bay would turn to as the lead back if both Jacobs and Wilson are out. Fantasy managers may want to stash Strong Jr. off the waiver wire just in case he finds himself in a prominent role come game time on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson (illness) has been added to the injury report and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to an illness. With running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) also questionable to play with a knee injury, Green Bay could be without its top two backs against Denver. The Packers have elevated running back
Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad for Week 15, which could be an indication that the team expects to be without at least one of Jacobs or Wilson. If both Jacobs and Wilson are sidelined, Strong Jr. and
Chris Brooks would likely handle the team's backfield work on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor the Green Bay backfield situation closely, as a final update on both Jacobs and Wilson may not come until closer to game time.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson has spent the majority of the 2025 season working in a reserve role behind star Packers back
Josh Jacobs (knee). However, Jacobs is officially listed as questionable to play in Green Bay's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to a knee injury that held him out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday of this week. If Jacobs were to be sidelined in Week 15, Wilson would likely be in line to dominate Green Bay's backfield snaps against Denver. In Jacobs' lone missed game this season in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings, Wilson recorded 125 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 30 touches. Denver ranks first among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.7), which limits the appeal for both Green Bay running backs. Still, Wilson's projected workload in the event of a Jacobs absence would give him clear upside. Fantasy managers should closely monitor Jacobs' status and be ready to go to Wilson if Jacobs is ruled out for Week 15.

After missing 10 games due to collarbone and foot injuries, Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed returned to the field for his team's Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears. In his first game back, the 25-year-old played 47% of Green Bay's offensive snaps and hauled in four receptions for 31 yards on four targets. Now that he's back in the fold, Reed profiles as the Packers' WR3 alongside
Romeo Doubs and
Christian Watson. However, Green Bay also has wideouts
Dontayvion Wicks,
Matthew Golden, and Bo Melton as capable pass-catchers in reserve roles. The Packers' deep wide receiver room limits Reed's playing time and target upside. Additionally, Green Bay has a very difficult matchup in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos. Entering the week, Denver ranks 4th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.3). Between the matchup and the playing time ceiling, Reed profiles as a low-end WR3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 15.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Jacobs was held out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee issue, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, giving him a chance to play. The 27-year-old has been one of the NFL's most consistent running backs so far this season. Across 12 games, Jacobs has logged 206 carries for 817 yards and 12 touchdowns. If active in Week 15, Jacobs will face a difficult matchup in the Broncos' defense. Entering Sunday, Denver ranks first among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.7) and second in total rushing yards allowed (1,157). Jacobs has proven the ability to find the end zone against pretty much every unit he has matched up against so far this season. However, the Denver defense, combined with a potentially limited workload due to the knee injury, should likely lead fantasy managers to slightly downgrade expectations. If active, Jacobs profiles as a high-end fantasy RB2 in Week 15.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Wicks was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. He should be back in the mix this Sunday, but he won't draw an easy matchup. The Broncos have allowed the second-fewest yards per target to wide receivers this season. The Packers also have a ton of mouths to feed at the receiver position with
Romeo Doubs,
Jayden Reed,
Christian Watson, and rookie
Matthew Golden all healthy heading into this game. Wicks had an epic two-touchdown game during the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions. That performance put him on the fantasy radar, but he has quickly fallen off as the Packers get healthy. Fantasy managers can leave Wicks on the bench in Week 15 after he wasn't targeted at all last week in the win over the Bears.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (shoulder) will avoid an injury designation ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Reed made his return from a 10-game absence due to a fractured foot and broken collarbone during last week's win over the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old hauled in all four of his targets for 31 yards while carrying the ball twice for 22 yards. The assumption is that Reed's workload will increase after playing only 47 percent of the offensive snaps last weekend. He'll draw a tough matchup against a Broncos defense that has allowed the second-fewest yards per target to wide receivers this season. Reed still has enough upside to be looked at as a potential flex play in Week 15, but fantasy managers should temper their expectations in a bad matchup as Reed battles for touches in a crowded WR room in Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (calf) will not be activated from Injured Reserve to make his 2025 debut in Week 15 on Sunday against the hosting Denver Broncos, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Lloyd has been limited in practices since having his 21-day window opened on Dec. 1. The 24-year-old was held out of practice on Friday. The Packers have been optimistic about Lloyd's chances of returning this year, but he's running out of time, with his next opportunity to play coming in Week 16 in another big divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears. The former third-rounder has been on IR all season and has only played in one regular-season game since entering the league in 2024. If starter
Josh Jacobs (knee) is unable to play this weekend in the Mile High City,
Emanuel Wilson will probably be Green Bay's lead back, with
Chris Brooks serving as the backup.

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit have their work cut out for them in Week 15 as the Packers travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. Over the past two weeks, the Packers have averaged two sacks per game against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. They'll face the Broncos in Week 15, and Denver has the eighth-fewest giveaways in the league, while the Packers have the fourth-fewest takeaways through 13 games. The Packers have been one of the most underwhelming fantasy defenses because they rely so much on their pass rush, with 33 sacks, the 11th-highest total in the league. Green Bay is a middling D/ST this week for fantasy purposes.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus hasn't missed a kick in three weeks, but hasn't been too fantasy relevant in recent weeks. He'll look to turn it around in Denver against the Broncos in Week 15. In the last three weeks, McManus has averaged 8.0 fantasy points per game and has made all four field goals and each of his 10 point-after attempts. That said, the Packers have been excellent in the last couple of weeks in converting their drives into touchdowns, so McManus has been kicking many more extra points (eight) than field goals (one) in their last two contests against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. In Week 15, McManus heads to Denver, where he spent the majority of his NFL career. For the Packers' game against the Broncos, McManus is a low-end fantasy kicker for that matchup.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) put in a full practice on Friday after two limited sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, and Golden will be good to go when the Packers head to Denver to face the Broncos. Returning to game action in Week 14, Golden earned just a single target from quarterback
Jordan Love on four pass routes. Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Golden would be limited to "pass situations only" when talking about Golden's role in Week 14, so clearly, that limited his fantasy points potential. With all of the pass-catching options for the Packers healthier heading into Week 15, Golden may have trouble getting on the field with players like
Christian Watson,
Jayden Reed,
Romeo Doubs, and others ahead of him. Golden is a very risky bet for fantasy success in Week 15 against a stout Denver defense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson has been the most productive pass-catcher for the Packers in the past few weeks, and he looks to carry over that momentum when the Packers head to Denver to face the Broncos in Week 15. Watson followed up a 4-80-1 effort against the Detroit Lions in Week 13 with a 4-89 and two scores last week in the Packers' pivotal division showdown with the Chicago Bears. Watson runs into a stiff test in Week 15, as he'll likely draw the shadow coverage of Patrick Surtain II, one of the best cornerbacks in football and the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Despite that, Watson is on a heater right now for fantasy, and if anybody can break a long reception for a score, it's Watson. Surtain's presence should temper fantasy managers' expectations for Watson this week. That said, Watson is a volatile WR3 fantasy option against the Broncos.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs has seen a recent backslide in production, but he looks to get going again as the Packers travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 15. Doubs' recent downturn coincides with
Christian Watson's ascension to Green Bay's top target in the offense. While Doubs continues to run routes at a fairly solid clip, with over 72% routes per dropback in the last four games, he has just 10 receptions and 101 yards in his last four games combined. In Week 14 against the Bears, Doubs turned in his worst full-game outing of the season, with just two targets and zero receptions. Doubs had some trust from fantasy managers in the middle of the season when tight end
Tucker Kraft went down with his season-ending injury, but since Watson's return, Doubs has been largely irrelevant for fantasy football. In a tough Week 15 matchup in Denver against the Broncos, consider Doubs a desperation flex play at best for fantasy.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love has been QB11 or better in three of his last four games, but draws a tough assignment as the Packers head to Denver to take on the Broncos. Love has back-to-back 20+ fantasy point outings against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, with three or more touchdowns in both games. Making that three straight games, with a road game in Denver, will be a tall order. The Broncos allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers as well, making it a tough matchup across the board for the Packers' pass-catchers and Love. For fantasy purposes, Love is a low-end streaming quarterback in single quarterback leagues, but a mid-range QB2 in two-quarterback formats.
