Emanuel Wilson Sees Eight Carries, 38 Yards in Packers Preseason Win
Emanuel Wilson led the Packers in rushing yards in their final preseason game, a 20-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson came into the game after Chris Brooks left in the middle of the Packers' second drive. Playing primarily at the end of the first quarter and almost halfway into the second quarter. Leading the team in rushing yards with 38 and tying for the most carries (8) on the day, Wilson is third in the pecking order for running back touches behind Josh Jacobs and Brooks. Wilson is very likely to break camp with the Packers if MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) isn't healthy, but Wilson shouldn't be drafted in fantasy leagues unless more injuries strike the running back room in Green Bay.Source: ESPN
Green Bay Packers running back Romeo Doubs Catches Touchdown Pass on Only Target
Romeo Doubs scored on his only look from quarterback Malik Willis in the Packers' 20-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks in their final preseason game. The Packers' wide receiver room has been decimated by injuries during the preseason, but it was a bit of an eye-opener to see Doubs, who has run the most routes for the Packers over the last two seasons, play the first two series of the game. Doubs scored on a one-yard snag from starting quarterback Malik Willis, and Doubs' day was over after that. The Packers can now rest up for their Week 1 home opener against the Detroit Lions. For fantasy purposes, Doubs is more of a late-round fantasy wide receiver with capped production upside, but he should be on the field quite a bit.Source: ESPN
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden Reels In 39-Yard Pass In Packers' Victory
Matthew Golden hauled in a 39-yard strike on two targets from starting quarterback Malik Willis in the Packers' 20-7 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Lambeau Field. Golden, the Packers' first-round pick this past April, had to adjust and come back to the ball a little bit, but made a nice adjustment downfield to secure the longest reception of the day for both teams. The Packers' intent on selecting Golden in the first round signals a big role for the talented rookie out of Texas, and fantasy managers agree. Golden has been a mid-round upside staple in an offense that looks to generate more offense through the air this season than last season's iteration. Could Golden be the next fantasy find like last season's Ladd McConkey and Brian Thomas Jr.? Golden certainly has that level of upside as a WR3 in fantasy drafts.Source: ESPN
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordan Love Says He'll Play in Week 1
Jordan Love (thumb) says he'll be ready to go for the Week 1 opener versus the Detroit Lions on September 7. The signal-caller recently underwent surgery on his non-throwing thumb. He returned to practice on Monday, albeit in a limited capacity. Fortunately, it's been good news for Love since his return from the minor surgery. He took a step back in 2024, tossing for 3,389 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions off 268-for-425 passing (63.1%). Love also found the end zone once on the ground. The 26-year-old has plenty of weapons at his disposal on the offensive side of the ball. However, Love will need to stay healthy. The Packers also have one of the more challenging schedules in the National Football League, which is another thing going against him. With that said, fantasy managers should wait for the official update from the team regarding his availability for Week 1.Source: NFL.com

Jayden Reed Catching Passes After Practice
Jordan Love (thumb) threw to wide receivers Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) after the team's practice on Tuesday, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Reed and Wicks weren't running routes, but they were lining up at distances where Love might have to put the ball if they had been running routes. The 25-year-old Reed ditched his walking boot late last week but hasn't returned to training camp practices and did not play in the second preseason game on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. Not only is Love recovering from surgery on his left (non-throwing) thumb, but Reed, Wicks, Romeo Doubs (back) and Christian Watson (knee) are all injured with the regular-season opener just several weeks away. Reed has become a boom/bust WR4/flex in fantasy with injury concerns.Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Tom Silverstein
Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis to Play in Preseason Finale
Malik Willis will play in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers also plan on playing some or most of their starters, at least for a little bit. We would be surprised if starting QB Jordan Love (thumb) plays this weekend after having a minor surgery on his left (non-throwing) thumb last week. The 26-year-old Willis went 6-for-14 for 83 yards on the first three possessions of the second preseason game last weekend against the Indianapolis Colts. Love is fully expected to be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September, so Willis is primed to open the season as Green Bay's backup signal-caller. The former third-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 played in seven games in his first year with the Packers in 2024 and led the team to two wins with Love sidelined by injury.Source: ESPN.com - Rob Demovsky
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that backup quarterback Dontayvion Wicks Ruled Out of Packers Practice This Week
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) will not practice this week, according to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Wicks has been out of action for several weeks already with a calf injury, so at this point it's fair to question his availability for the start of the regular season. The Packers' wide receiver room has dealt with myriad injuries in addition to Wicks during training camp, including Jayden Reed (foot) and Savion Williams (concussion). The team finally got some good news when Romeo Doubs (back) returned to practice on Monday. With the injury uncertainty behind them on the depth chart, Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden could both be in line for significant target shares early in the regular season.Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs Returns to Practice
Romeo Doubs (back) returned to training camp practice on Monday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Doubs injured his back in practice last Tuesday but will finally return to the field for the final week of the preseason. The Packers also got quarterback Jordan Love (thumb) back, although it's unclear if either Doubs or Love will play in the preseason finale this Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. Barring setbacks, both players should be available for the Week 1 regular-season opener. The 25-year-old Doubs caught 46 of his 72 targets for 601 yards and four touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (12 starts) in 2024 in his third year in the league. Doubs did have career-highs in yards per catch (13.1), yards per target (8.3) and yards per game (46.2), but he remains a mediocre WR target in a crowded receivers room.Source: The Athletic - Matt Schneidman
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordan Love Returns to Practice on Monday
Jordan Love (thumb) returned to training camp practice on Monday, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Love was doing hand-offs and throws, while backup Malik Willis took the first snaps of th day. The 26-year-old will ultimately go down as a limited participant, but it's still good news that he's back on the field after having minor surgery on his left (non-throwing) thumb. He had his thumb heavily taped in a soft cast and will not return to 11-on-11 drills this week. It's unclear when he'll be able to return to a full workload, and Green Bay will probably hold him out of their preseason finale on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks. It shouldn't have a negative impact on Love's fantasy value for upcoming drafts. For fantasy purposes, managers should consider him more of a low-end QB2 with upside.Source: The Athletic - Matt Schneidman
Green Bay Packers quarterback Marshawn Lloyd Could Miss Season Opener
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to miss some time, and his status for the regular season is now in question. Injuries have hampered Lloyd's young career. After taking only six attempts as a rookie, he had missed parts of his second training camp with a groin injury. In his preseason debut, Lloyd tweaked his hamstring and had to exit the game prematurely following a 33-yard catch. For the second year, Lloyd entered camp as the presumed backup to Josh Jacobs, but if he's unable to work his way back to health, that valuable role will go to someone else, as it did last season. For now, Lloyd should be considered week-to-week until further information emerges.Source: Rob Demovsky - ESPN
After leaving Saturday's preseason game in the second quarter, Green Bay Packers running back Jordan Love Could Return to Practice on Monday
Jordan Love, who could return to practice on Monday. The 26-year-old underwent surgery on his non-throwing left thumb to address a ligament injury he suffered in the team's first preseason game. The former first-round pick is still expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. He threw for 3,389 yards and 25 touchdowns, adding 83 yards and one touchdown on the ground. RotoBaller still projects Love as a QB2 and ranks Love as QB20.Source: Weston Hodkiewicz
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said he "would love to get him out there tomorrow," referencing quarterback MarShawn Lloyd to Miss Time with Hamstring Injury
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) "is going to miss some time" after suffering a hamstring injury. The second-year back left the Green Bay Packers' 23-19 preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts after catching a 33-yard pass. The 2024 third-round pick has been more hurt than healthy in his young career, having been limited to just one game in his rookie season due to hamstring, ankle injuries, and appendicitis. Despite coming into camp healthy, he was dealing with a groin injury in late July before this latest issue. In Sunday's game, Lloyd finished with 15 yards on six rushes and his one catch for 33 yards before exiting. He is currently battling to be the backup for Packers workhorse RB Josh Jacobs, but this latest injury will delay the opportunity for now.Source: Matt Schneidman

Malik Willis Goes for 83 Yards in Inefficient Preseason Start vs. Colts
Malik Willis played the first three series for the Packers on Saturday afternoon as Green Bay edged by the Indianapolis Colts 23-19. Willis put up 83 passing yards on just 6-of-14 passing, as even if starting quarterback Jordan Love (thumb) had been healthy, Willis was likely starting this game anyway. With Love's injured thumb likely sidelining him for the preseason finale next week, Willis' snaps were probably handled a bit more cautiously as he's slated to start the season as Love's backup if needed. Love is expected to start for the Packers in Week 1 at home against the Detroit Lions, but Willis shouldn't be rostered in any fantasy football leagues unless the team rules out Love for the Packers' season opener.Source: ESPN
