Jordan Love Returns to Week 11 Matchup After Injury Scare
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) has returned to his team's Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. Love was forced to briefly exit from the game in the first half due to a left shoulder injury, but he has since returned to the game. Love's shoulder will likely remain an issue to monitor, but for now, Packers fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. If Love should be forced to exit the game again, Malik Willis would take over under center for Green Bay.

Jordan Love Departs Sunday's Game At Giants With Left-Shoulder Issue
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) departed Sunday's game at the New York Giants with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. Love was wincing in apparent pain and dipped into the medical tent, but the team has not yet made a designation about his return. In his absence, Malik Willis stepped into the game and threw a touchdown pass to Christian Watson. Managers will have to wait to see the extent of Love's injury, but Willis filled in admirably last season and could be of interest in Superflex formats if Love were to miss any time.

Malik Heath a Healthy Scratch After Being Left Behind
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Malik Heath (coach's decision) did not travel with the team to New Jersey for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He is officially inactive as a healthy scratch. We don't know the details behind Heath's absence, but typically, decisions like these are made for disciplinary reasons. However, it's rare to see a coaching staff leave a player on the 53-man roster off the flight for non-injury reasons. Nevertheless, Heath will be inactive for the first time this season. He has caught all six of his targets for 86 yards this season. His void will be filled by Savion Williams, who should fill a depth role behind Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden.

Savion Williams Suiting Up Against Giants in Week 11
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 23-year-old has taken on a slightly increased role lately, catching five passes for 22 yards and a touchdown (plus a lost fumble) over his last three games. He should continue to occupy a depth role this Sunday, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most leagues. He can be left on waivers.

Matthew Golden Active for Week 11 Against Giants
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable following three consecutive limited practices. The 22-year-old is returning from a one-week absence. Through eight games this year, he has just 23 catches for 262 yards, and he's still looking for his first career touchdown. The first-round pick has not yet lived up to expectations, ranking as the overall WR72 in PPR leagues so far. He can be benched or dropped in most redraft leagues.

Brandon McManus Inactive for Week 11
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He was a full participant in practice this week and didn't get added to the injury report until Saturday. Once he was added, though, the team listed him as doubtful, indicating that he likely wouldn't play. Lucas Havrisik, who is 6-for-6 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals this year, will kick in his absence.

Lucas Havrisik Back to Kicking for Packers in Week 11
Green Bay Packers kicker Lucas Havrisik is back and will handle all kicking duties during Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. Havrisik will be active on gameday with Brandon McManus (quad) listed as doubtful and not expected to play. The 26-year-old appeared in two games earlier this year while filling in for McManus, and he certainly impressed, going 6-for-6 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals, including one from 50+ yards out. The Arizona product has shown that he has a strong, powerful leg, and he should immediately return to the top-12 fantasy kicker range with McManus sidelined. Havrisik doesn't have long-term fantasy value, but he's an incredibly strong streamer for Week 11.

Brandon McManus Downgraded to Doubtful for Week 11 Due to Quad Injury
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (right quad) has been added to the injury report and listed as doubtful to play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. McManus has been playing through the quad injury for a few weeks, but it appears he may have taken a turn for the worse heading into Week 11. If he is unable to go on Sunday, backup kicker Lucas Havrisik appears likely to take over kicking duties for Green Bay. The Packers have been one of the rare teams to carry two kickers on their 53-man roster with McManus playing through injury. Havrisik has appeared in two games this season and converted on all four of his field goal attempts.

Luke Musgrave Struggling to Fill Big Shoes
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave continues to sit atop the team's depth chart, but he has failed to fill the void left by Tucker Kraft (knee). Kraft suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9, but Musgrave has just six catches for 57 yards over his last two games. The 25-year-old has not even been a fantasy-relevant streamer, let alone the mid-to-high TE1 that Kraft was when healthy. A Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants could help Musgrave's stock, but he's still a non-factor in most fantasy leagues. Managers can leave him on waivers and should look elsewhere for mid-season help at the tight end position.

Emanuel Wilson a Fantasy Afterthought with Starter Healthy
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson remains a non-factor in fantasy football as long as starter Josh Jacobs is healthy. Wilson has played in all nine games this season, and his snap share peaked at 42 percent when Jacobs was playing through an injury. That ratio dropped to 21 percent last week, and he logged just one carry and one reception along the way. In addition to having a small workload, Wilson has been inefficient lately, averaging just 2.1 yards per touch over his last two games. The 26-year-old should be avoided in all formats ahead of Week 11 against the New York Giants. He's nothing more than a handcuff, and if Jacobs were to get hurt, we'd expect to see some sort of committee showcasing a combination of Wilson, Chris Brooks, and MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring).

Underachieving Packers D/ST a Low-End Option Against Giants
The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit have been an underachieving one this season, but they have a chance to get on track when the Packers travel to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants. In Week 10 against the Eagles, the Packers' D/ST gave up just 10 points and had a fumble recovery, but it was their first game all season with zero sacks. While immensely talented, the Packers just aren't a strong enough D/ST unit to start in fantasy football most weeks. Week 11 could change that, however, as the Giants start Jameis Winston at quarterback. Even with the defense facing Winston, who has been known to give defenses ample opportunities at interceptions, the Packers D/ST is just a low-end start for fantasy purposes.

Hard to Trust Brandon McManus in Week 11
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has been a hit-or-miss option for fantasy managers this season, but he'll look to right the ship when the Packers head east to MetLife Stadium to square off with the New York Giants in Week 11. McManus has missed at least one field goal in all three games since returning from a quad injury that sidelined him for a pair of games. He's made just 11-of-17 field goals this season after making 20-of-21 field goals last season when replacing Brayden Narveson early last season. McManus could be on the hot seat if he doesn't shore up his accuracy, which puts his fantasy value deep below the pool of rosterable kickers. For Week 11, McManus is somebody to leave on the waiver wire.

Sit Luke Musgrave in a Tough Week 11 Matchup
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave saw his on-field involvement in the Packers' offense jump up considerably and will look to take advantage of his playing time when the Packers head east to MetLife Stadium to face off against the New York Giants. Musgrave's routes and snaps jumped up considerably in the first game without Tucker Kraft after his season-ending injury. While Musgrave's 81 percent of routes per dropback and 76 percent snap share are great for a fantasy tight end, he's not used nearly enough in the passing game to warrant even a streaming start at tight end for fantasy managers. With the Giants allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, Musgrave isn't a recommended start in Week 11.

Emanuel Wilson Maintains Depth Role for Packers in Week 11
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has maintained a solid on-field role, but is just depth at the position when the Packers head to MetLife Stadium to play the New York Giants. While Wilson has seen his snap shares hover around the 32-percent mark in the previous three weeks leading up to Week 10, those snaps dropped to 20 percent against the Eagles on Monday Night Football. The Packers gave Josh Jacobs the bulk of the work on the ground, leaving Wilson to touch the ball just twice for four yards on a target and carry. Jacobs had been a regular sight on the Packers' injury report over the past few weeks, but was not on the report leading up to this week's game against the Giants. Wilson is merely a handcuff for Jacobs in the event he misses a game, but otherwise, leave Wilson on the waiver wire in Week 11.

Locked-In RB1 Treatment for Josh Jacobs
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been as automatic a fantasy start as it gets this season, and that remains the case as the Packers travel to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants in Week 11. Jacobs has scored in every game this season but one and has been a top-10 fantasy running back in five of the last six weeks. While Jacobs hasn't posted a 100-yard game this season and averages just 68 rushing yards per game, fantasy managers are still beaming at just how inevitable Jacobs has been when it comes to scoring and his involvement in the Packers' offense. With the offensive game plan flowing through Jacobs and the run game each week, he's been the one constant this season for the Packers' offense. Against the New York Giants, who are last in the NFL in defensive EPA per rush attempt, Jacobs is a no-brainer lock for fantasy lineups in Week 11.
