Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) said he anticipates returning to practice when his window opens up, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Watson will be on the Physically Unable to Perform list through Week 4 after tearing his right ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. With Green Bay's bye coming in Week 5, he may be ready to make his 2025 debut in Week 6, when the team hosts the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field. The 26-year-old probably won't be ready by Week 6, but reports this summer suggested he was making excellent progress in his recovery. Fellow wideout
Jayden Reed (collarbone) is currently out six to eight weeks, so Watson could have a substantial role in the passing attack sooner than later when he returns. Mostly a deep threat, fantasy managers should consider stashing him in an IR spot if he's available on the waiver wire.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft was a popular fantasy breakout candidate entering the 2025 season, and he's well on his way through the first two weeks of the season. Kraft has scored in back-to-back weeks to kick things off while catching eight of his 11 targets for 140 yards in wins against the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders. In Thursday night's 27-18 victory over Washington, the 24-year-old had six receptions for 124 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. It was his first career 100-yard game, and through two weeks, he's the TE1 in fantasy. Kraft led the Packers in catches, receiving yards, and targets in Week 2 and will only be more involved in Green Bay's passing attack after receiver
Jayden Reed suffered a broken collarbone on Thursday night. Keep Kraft locked in your fantasy lineups as a strong TE1 going into Week 3 versus the Cleveland Browns.

Despite a lack of gaudy numbers in the box score, Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs continues to lead the team's wideouts in participation and production. Quarterback
Jordan Love's MO is spreading the ball around, but Doubs leads his fellow WRs in yards (96) and targets (nine). Moreover, he holds the edge in snaps, beating out his next closest teammate by over 20 (
Matthew Golden). With
Jayden Reed's (clavicle) collarbone fracture set to hold him out for a few months, Doubs' path to an elevated number of looks becomes clearer. Green Bay is calling a run an even 50% of the time, so the 25-year-old's target floor is lower than most teams' No. 1 wideouts. Nonetheless, Love still has a gunslinger mentality and is one of the league's more renowned signal-callers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone) is looking at a multiple-month absence. According to Ian Rapoport, Reed was given a six-to-eight-week timetable to return. Reed suffered a broken collarbone during the Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. This timeframe means that Reed is likely out until some point in November. Fantasy managers can go ahead and place Reed on their Injured Reserve if they haven't already. The good news is that Reed isn't going to be done for the season. His absence should mean increased roles for
Romeo Doubs,
Matthew Golden,
Dontayvion Wicks, and
Tucker Kraft.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone) is scheduled for surgery early next week. The hope is that he will be able to return this season, with the team looking at November as a possible timeline. Reed broke his collarbone making a touchdown grab on a play that was negated by a holding penalty. The play came on the Packers' opening drive and was Reed's first look in a game that ultimately saw seven other Green Bay pass catchers targeted. On a day that saw
Jordan Love throw for nearly 300 yards and two scores, only tight end
Tucker Kraft looked like a reliable option moving forward, with
Romeo Doubs' fantasy day kept afloat by an early touchdown. With Reed now sidelined until at least mid-season, the silver lining could be added clarity amongst the Packers' pass catchers, but until rookie
Matthew Golden can demonstrate an established chemistry with Love, Kraft will remain the only weekly start.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs got off to a quick start during Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders. Doubs got the scoring started with a five-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. Sadly, Doubs didn't do much on the field after that. He finished this game by hauling in three of his five targets for 28 yards and one score in the win. It's worth noting that the Packers lost wideout
Jayden Reed (shoulder) during this game. His absence would likely open up a bigger role for Doubs going forward. Despite that, Doubs remains in the WR4 range for the Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs continued to have success during Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders. Last week, Jacobs rushed 66 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Detroit Lions. Jacobs continued his success on Thursday with 84 yards on 23 rushing attempts with a touchdown in the victory over the Commanders. He carried the ball into the endzone in the second quarter for his second score of the season and it marked his 10th straight game with a touchdown. Jacobs will remain a RB1 and the workhorse back heading into their Week 3 matchup versus the Cleveland Browns.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft posted an excellent performance during Thursday's game against the Washington Commanders. Kraft was quiet with a 16-yard performance in the season opener, but looked unstoppable here. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 124 yards and one touchdown in the win. It was his first career 100-yard game as he also led the team in receptions, receiving yards, and targets. It's worth noting that the departure of
Jayden Reed (shoulder) likely contributed to Kraft's increase in usage. The status of Reed for Week 3 should have some impact on Kraft's value for that one. Regardless, Kraft is looking like an appealing option for that Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (shoulder) fractured his collarbone during Thursday's win over the Washington Commanders, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He will be placed on injured reserve but is expected to return later this season. This is a crushing blow for the Packers, as Reed had been their best receiver so far this year. While it seems like his absence would benefit rookie first-round pick
Matthew Golden the most, the Texas product finished Week 2 with just zero catches on two targets. Instead, the biggest beneficiary could be
Dontayvion Wicks, who had six targets, four catches, and 44 receiving yards.
Romeo Doubs, who scored a touchdown Thursday, should also see an uptick in volume. Of course,
Jordan Love's favorite target going forward could end up being tight end
Tucker Kraft, who has impressed with eight catches, 140 yards, and two touchdowns through two games this season.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's contest against the Washington Commanders. Reed suffered this injury in the opening quarter after making a catch along the sidelines. While Reed was able to find the back of the end zone on this play, the reception was reversed due to a holding penalty. In Week 1, Reed caught three of his five targets for 45 yards and a score. Leading up to the start of the regular season, Reed was recovering from a Jones fracture and now may have another significant injury. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status leading up to Week 3.
Romeo Doubs,
Dontayvion Wicks, and
Matthew Golden are expected to lead the WR room for the remainder of Thursday's game.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest due to a shoulder injury. Reed suffered this injury when making a catch along the sidelines, which ultimately resulted in a touchdown. However, this play was called back for holding. After making the catch, Reed was holding his shoulder in pain and needed assistance to walk off the field. Entering this game, Reed was also dealing with a fracture in his foot. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status. In Week 1, Reed found the back of the end zone and tallied 45 yards on three receptions. While he remains sidelined,
Romeo Doubs,
Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie
Matthew Golden will lead the WR room.

Green Bay Packers All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (back) is officially active for Thursday night against the Washington Commanders to kick off Week 2 after he was listed as questionable on Wednesday's final injury report. Parsons was also questionable for Week 1 before making his Packers debut last Sunday at Lambeau Field in the convincing win over the Detroit Lions. The former Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher played 30 of the team's 67 defensive snaps against Detroit and had a sack in his first game with the team. Parsons was limited in all three practices this week and could continue to have his snaps curtailed on Thursday night, which makes him more boom/bust in IDP fantasy leagues, but he should be started in most formats if you have him. In two games against the Commanders last year with Dallas, he notched 4.5 sacks.

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit aim to keep their strong results going when they host the Washington Commanders in Week 2. With a limited Micah Parsons, the Packers' defense wreaked havoc on the Detroit Lions in Week 1 with four sacks of
Jared Goff and an interception. Keeping track of
Jayden Daniels is going to be a challenging task, but the Packers represent a strong check to Daniels' athleticism with their stout pass rush and linebackers like Edgerrin Cooper. While the Commanders can put up points, the Packers at home are at least a streaming candidate for fantasy managers in Week 2, with the hopes that games like Week 1 against the Lions were the rule and not the exception.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus looks to keep his solid run going in Week 2 as the Packers host the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. McManus kicked two field goals from 38 and 34 yards out and converted all three of his extra point attempts in Week 1 as the Packers beat the Lions 27-19. In the regular season, McManus has missed just one kick in his Packers' career, so he's been reliable. Given that the Packers are on a trajectory to be one of the upper-echelon teams in the NFL, McManus should get plenty of opportunities in the future for Green Bay. He's startable in leagues with a kicker slot if you didn't get one of the top kickers in your draft.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft scored in Week 1 and looks to make it back-to-back scoring weeks as the Packers host the Washington Commanders in Week 2. Kraft scored on a 15-yard pass from quarterback
Jordan Love to kick off the scoring for the Packers in Week 1. Other than that score, the 24-year-old only caught one more pass for one yard on an additional three targets. The Packers' pass-catchers are heavily reliant on touchdowns rather than target volume, but no pass-catcher saw the field and ran more routes than Kraft did with 92 percent route participation in Week 1. For Week 2 against the Commanders, Kraft is a decent TE1 fantasy play with the hopes that the Packers get pushed by the Commanders on the offensive end.
