Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson was solidly effective in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears, and looks to keep his run going as he and the Packers will host the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in Week 17. Wilson led the running attack for the Packers even with starting running back
Josh Jacobs active. Jacobs had 12 carries for just 36 yards in the Packers' Week 16 defeat, but Wilson averaged almost 6.0 yards per carry with 82 yards on 14 rushing attempts. With Jacobs off the injury report for Week 17, it seems that Jacobs is going to take a bigger slice of the pie in terms of rushing attempts to close out the season for the Packers in their playoff push. For fantasy, that doesn't help give fantasy managers much clarity in how the Packers divide their rush attempts. As it stands, Wilson is a low-end, albeit risky flex play against Baltimore.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee/ankle) is not on the injury report following three limited practice sessions, and he is good to go for the Packers' pivotal Week 17 showdown with the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Jacobs saw his lowest snap percentage (39%) and took just 12 carries for 36 yards in limited action in Week 16 against the Bears. He ceded the way to backfield mate
Emanuel Wilson, who averaged almost 6.0 yards per carry with 82 yards on 14 rushing attempts. Now that Jacobs is off the injury report, he should take the bulk of the carries in a must-win game against the Ravens in Week 17. While Jacobs isn't a locked-in fantasy RB1 like he was for most of the season, Jacobs is more of an RB2 option with plenty of upside for fantasy managers in Week 17.

Malik Willis (shoulder/illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Willis joins the top option on the depth chart,
Jordan Love (concussion, shoulder), on the final injury report as both QBs carry a questionable tag into the weekend. Willis replaced Love during last Saturday's loss to the Bears and went 9-for-11 with 121 yards and a score. However, the former third-round selection left this game with a shoulder injury and also picked up an illness earlier in the week. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to his status leading up to Saturday's kickoff. Still, Willis appears to be trending in the right direction, as he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, a significant upgrade after he was unable to practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. If Willis can progress enough, he would hold high-end QB2 upside facing a Baltimore secondary that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing QBs.

Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Love was forced from their Week 16 contest due to a concussion, but also carries an injury designation related to his left shoulder. In addition, the team's No. 2 QB,
Malik Willis (shoulder/illness), is also listed as questionable, which could pave the way for third-stringer
Clayton Tune (who is currently on the practice squad) to potentially make a start. Before exiting last weekend's contest, Love completed eight of his 13 passes for 77 yards. However, during Weeks 13 through 15, Love was quite productive, averaging a strong 24.1 PPR points per game with an 8:3 TD:INT. If Love can pass through the league's protocol, he would hold low-end QB1 value, facing an inconsistent Baltimore secondary that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing QBs this season.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson has been a reliable fill-in starter when he has had his name called on this season.
Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) has battled injuries off and on this year, and Wilson has taken advantage of every chance he has been given. Recently, Jacobs was battling lower-body injuries heading into Week 16 but managed to play through them against the Chicago Bears. Due to Jacobs being less than fully healthy, Wilson led the Packers in carries and rushing yards in the overtime loss. Wilson finished the game with 14 carries for 82 rushing yards. When Jacobs has missed time, Wilson has been a viable fantasy running back for managers. However, when Jacobs has been healthy, Wilson has been a non-factor in every fantasy format. Wilson has been a solid handcuff running back when he has been forced into action, but his fantasy value is solely attached to the health of Jacobs. If Jacobs cannot give it a go in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens, Wilson is a solid option for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Jacobs has been able to get through a limited session. Jacobs has been playing through lingering knee and ankle issues since Week 11. It has resulted in a smaller workload with 12 carries in each of his last two games. Fellow back
Emanuel Wilson actually out-touched Jacobs during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. The 26-year-old rushed for 82 yards and could see a larger share in the backfield, given that Jacobs is still banged up. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the injury report ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Jacobs has been a must-start fantasy RB all year with 14 total touchdowns in 14 games, but he's literally limping to the finish line.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Malik Willis (illness, shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday due to an illness, according to Ryan Wood of USA Today Sports. Willis did not have a setback with his shoulder in Tuesday's practice (he was limited). The 26-year-old backup was forced into action in Saturday night's loss to the Chicago Bears when starter
Jordan Love suffered a concussion. Willis went 9-for-11 passing for 121 yards and a touchdown, also adding 10 carries for 44 yards on the ground, but he suffered a right-shoulder injury that now makes him questionable to play this Saturday versus the Baltimore Ravens. If neither Willis nor Love can get cleared to play in Week 17, the Packers would be down to third-stringer
Clayton Tune in a huge game. Fantasy managers must continue to keep a close eye on the Packers' QB situation entering the weekend.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (concussion) will practice again on Wednesday but remains in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Love was listed as limited on the team's first injury report of the week on Tuesday after he was forced from Saturday night's loss to the Chicago Bears with a concussion. The 27-year-old signal-caller appears to be making some progress, but he's still very much up in the air to be cleared to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 17 on Saturday. Backup
Malik Willis (shoulder) is also questionable to play after getting injured after he replaced Love in Week 16 in Chicago. If both Love and Willis aren't able to play against Baltimore, the Packers would be forced to go with
Clayton Tune under center this weekend. Love's status could be a game-time decision on Saturday.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Malik Willis (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Willis was "pretty sore" after injuring his shoulder while filling in for an injured
Jordan Love (concussion) during Saturday night's loss to the Chicago Bears. The 2022 third-rounder finished the game, but there's a possibility that Willis won't be able to play in the Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Willis was excellent in relief of Love, completing nine of 11 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown while adding 10 carries for 44 yards as a runner. If Willis and Love can't go, the Packers would be forced to elevate
Clayton Tune from the practice squad to start against the Ravens.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (shoulder, concussion) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Love exited early during Green Bay's loss to the Bears last Saturday after suffering a concussion and is still in the league's concussion protocol. The star quarterback's status for the Week 17 game remains uncertain until he clears protocol. The 27-year-old has put together the best season of his career so far through 15 games, completing 66.3% of his passes for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions while posting a career high 72.9 QBR. With backup QB
Malik Willis (shoulder) also getting injured in the game against the Bears, the Packers could have to resort to promoting
Clayton Tune from their practice squad to the active roster to start Saturday's game against the Ravens. More will be known about Love's and Willis' statuses in the next few days of practice.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Jacobs suited up for last Saturday's matchup against the Chicago Bears but had his playing time managed, splitting touches and snaps with
Emanuel Wilson. Wilson outsnapped Jacobs 33 to 28 and outgained him 82 to 48 on the same number of carries (14). It's a positive that the 27-year-old workhorse came out of the game without a setback, and he should be expected to handle a bigger workload on Saturday versus the Ravens if everything goes well in practice this week. Jacobs could carry a questionable tag for the third straight week going into Saturday's contest, but he should be able to play through it, barring a setback with his knee in practice on Wednesday.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs has been an inconsistent contributor this season. Finally, Doubs gave fantasy managers a solid performance last weekend. He hauled in five passes for 84 yards and a touchdown during the loss to the Chicago Bears. Doubs led the charge for the Packers' wideouts in Week 16, which is great to see. The biggest problem now is that the Packers could be without both quarterback
Jordan Love (concussion) and second-stringer
Malik Willis (shoulder) for the Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. If the Packers go to a third-string quarterback, then all the team's pass-catchers would likely see a drop in fantasy value next weekend. Doubs has already been too inconsistent to trust most weeks, but having a third-string quarterback would make him avoidable for Week 17.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson could be a top waiver wire priority this week, as the Packers get ready to host the Ravens on Saturday. The team could be without
Jordan Love (concussion) and
Josh Jacobs (knee) for that matchup, and Wilson has proven he can be a fantasy factor if he takes over for Jacobs as the primary option. Last week, Wilson ran for 82 yards on 14 carries against the Bears, while Jacobs had just 36 yards on 12 carries. Wilson also starred in Green Bay's win over the Packers when Jacobs was injured, racking up 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries in that week. The Ravens have been a great matchup for running backs this season, and if Wilson gets the start, he could be a true difference-maker in Week 17.

Green Bay Packers tight end
John FitzPatrick (Achilles) was helping to fill in for the injured
Tucker Kraft, but he suffered his own season-ending injury during Saturday's 22-16 overtime loss to the Chicago Bears. Tests confirmed that FitzPatrick suffered a torn Achilles, which will end his season after 12 catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. Without FitzPatrick,
Luke Musgrave will continue to be the team's top tight end with
Josh Whyle as his primary backup.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said quarterback
Malik Willis (shoulder) is "pretty sore" as a result of the shoulder injury he suffered during Green Bay's Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears on Saturday night. Willis replaced Packers QB1
Jordan Love (concussion) after Love suffered a concussion that knocked him out of the game in the second quarter. Willis was able to finish the game, but it appears he's battling an injury that may put his status for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in doubt. Across 10 games (two starts) with the Packers since the start of the 2024 season, Willis has completed 76.5% of his pass attempts for 684 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He's also rushed for 201 yards and a score on 33 attempts. If neither Willis nor Love can play in Week 17, the Packers would likely be forced to elevate quarterback
Clayton Tune from the practice squad to make the start against Baltimore.
