Green Bay Packers tight end
Luke Musgrave now has a golden opportunity to produce in unfortunate circumstances surrounding the Packers. With
Tucker Kraft's awful knee injury, which ended his season, Musgrave becomes the next man up. While we can't expect all of Kraft's previous production to go to Musgrave, he does have some upside. Remember: Musgrave was drafted 36 picks before Kraft in the 2023 NFL Draft, and in that season, Musgrave was the starter for most of his rookie season until a lacerated kidney caused him to miss several games. What Musgrave does have is route-based upside; he should run most tight end routes for the Packers with only
John FitzPatrick and former Titan
Josh Whyle on the practice squad manning the position behind Musgrave. The most likely outcome in Musgrave's range of outcomes is that he mixes in with the rest of the targets in Green Bay rather than take charge as a preferred target for quarterback
Jordan Love. In the Packers' Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, Musgrave is just a low-end streamer for fantasy purposes.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs had mediocre fantasy production in the first three weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Since Week 4, however, Doubs has been excellent and has cemented his spot as the top wide receiver target for the Packers. In the last five games, Doubs has averaged 8.2 targets, 5.4 receptions, and 64 receiving yards, providing a much-needed floor for the Packers this season. Now, with
Tucker Kraft's season-ending knee injury, Doubs will be relied on even more as the unquestioned top target for the Packers. At the very least, Doubs keeps his consistent production going through the rest of the season, but if he adds some more looks without Kraft, then he can add some true fantasy ceiling to that solid floor. With double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games, Doubs should be a fantasy WR3 in a tough matchup against the Eagles in Week 10.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs led the team in receiving with seven catches for 91 yards on 10 targets in their 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Doubs has been the most consistent and reliable pass-catching option for quarterback
Jordan Love all season and will likely be relied on more after star tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL injury. The 25-year-old wideout doubled the next closest Packer pass catcher in targets in this game and could be in line to become an impact player in fantasy down the stretch. Doubs has surpassed at least 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in all but two games this season, ranking as WR31 in PPR points per game (13). Doubs should be one of the top pickups off the waiver wire this week wherever he is available.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson continues to ease his way back into this offense. On Sunday, Watson hauled in two of his four targets for 58 yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Watson made his season debut in Week 8 after missing the beginning of the season while recovering from a torn ACL. In Week 9, Watson played 66 percent of the offensive snaps which is 10 percent higher than the week prior. His role in the offense is likely going to increase with both
Tucker Kraft (knee) and
Matthew Golden (shoulder) suffering injuries this weekend. Watson could move into flex territory for the Week 10 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday that the "plan is to stick with" struggling kicker
Brandon McManus, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. LaFleur also said that McManus is "definitely" working through some things health-wise, but the Packers have rolled with him the last two games because of what they've seen in practice. The 34-year-old came out of the team's Week 5 bye with a quad injury that sidelined him in Weeks 6 and 7. He returned to kick in Week 8, but McManus hasn't been himself the last two games, making just four of his seven field-goal attempts and connecting on all four of his extra-point tries. His miss from 43 yards out on Sunday was costly, as the Packers lost to the Carolina Panthers by only three points. The Packers will stick with him for a Monday night showdown in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him in that one.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur called rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) day-to-day on Monday after he suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. It's not a long-term injury for Golden, but how much he's able to do at practice this week will determine whether he's able to suit up in Week 10 on Monday Night Football in a showdown against the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old pass-catcher caught two of his three targets for only nine yards on Sunday before getting injured, so he was a bust for any fantasy managers who started him in Week 9. There have been glimpses of the star potential that Golden has in 2025, but he hasn't been able to put it all together yet. The good news is that he should have a bigger role going forward with tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) now done for the year due to a torn ACL.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Luke Musgrave caught three passes on Sunday for a season-high 34 yards, with all of his looks coming on the team's final drive of the day.
Tucker Kraft (knee), the Packers' leading receiver through nine weeks, exited the game in the third quarter with what has since been confirmed as a season-ending ACL injury. With a stable of solid but unspectacular pass catchers at their disposal, it's unclear how the team will divvy up Kraft's 17.5% target share. Still, if their final touchdown-scoring drive on Sunday is any indication, Musgrave will have a role moving forward, making him an intriguing name on this week's waiver wire. Musgrave was drafted in the second round of the 2023 draft, a round earlier than Kraft, and was actually the more involved tight end as a rookie until a lacerated kidney derailed his season. While nobody will confuse Musgrave with Kraft when it comes to blocking, making him less of a lock for an every-down role, he's shown flashes of playmaking ability and is worth a stash in deeper leagues.

Tests on Monday confirmed that Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a massive blow to the Packers and fantasy managers, as Kraft was in the midst of a breakout campaign in 2025. The 25-year-old former third-round pick will now finish his third year in the NFL with 32 catches on 44 targets for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games played. Kraft was coming off a massive seven-catch, 143-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Week 8 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Kraft now done for the year,
Luke Musgrave becomes a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in need of help at the TE position. Receivers
Romeo Doubs,
Christian Watson, and
Matthew Golden should also see more targets in the passing game going forward.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson rushed six times for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He gained an additional yard on 1-of-2 receiving. The third-year pro was coming off a season-high in touches (14) and yards (87), but saw his work decline back to baseline while also ceding snaps to backfield mate
Chris Brooks. Coincidentally, the latter didn't see a carry, although he was more effective on his two targets (2/24), and played on double-digit snaps for the second time in 2025. Wilson figures to retain his role as the handcuff to own in Green Bay. However, Sunday was a stark reminder that, when he's fully healthy, this is the
Josh Jacobs show. There's room for Wilson's role to expand, considering Jacobs has been under 60% of snaps in three straight contests. Still, he won't provide much standalone value unless the veteran's calf issue lingers.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs has been playing through a calf injury in recent weeks, but he looked fully healthy in the Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Jacobs led the backfield with 17 carries for 87 yards (5.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown, scoring for the fifth straight week and for the 10th time on the ground in eight games. Green Bay's loss to the Cleveland Browns back on Sept. 21 was the only time in 2025 so far in which Jacobs has not scored a rushing TD. In the last five games, the veteran back has 354 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. He also caught four of his five targets in the passing game for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Carolina. Jacobs has gone over 100 scrimmage yards in three straight games. Despite a tough upcoming matchup in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacobs will remain a must-start RB in fantasy football.

The Green Bay Packers fear that tight end
Tucker Kraft (knee) tore his ACL during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Carolina Panthers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. If tests confirm this diagnosis, Kraft will be done for the season. This is a brutal loss for the Packers, as Kraft was off to a spectacular start this season with 32 catches, 489 yards, and six touchdowns through eight games. He had been the overall TE2 in fantasy football so far. With Kraft likely shut down for the rest of the season,
Luke Musgrave will take over as the Packers' starting tight end next week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that tight end
Tucker Kraft's knee injury "does not look good." The team will conduct additional testing on Kraft tomorrow, but the expectation is that he'll miss an extended period of time. In fact, ESPN's Rob Demovsky cautions that LaFleur's language could indicate that Kraft suffered a season-ending injury. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for additional updates on the talented tight end on Monday. Kraft was the overall TE2 in PPR leagues entering this weekend, amassing a total of 30 catches, 469 yards, and six touchdowns. He added another two catches for 20 yards before departing on Sunday.
Luke Musgrave will step up as the Packers' top tight end going forward.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The rookie exited in the third quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. Golden finishes the game with just two catches for nine yards. Green Bay entered this week without
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and lost both Golden and
Tucker Kraft (knee) mid-game, leaving the Packers short-staffed as they try to mount a comeback against the Panthers.
Christian Watson,
Romeo Doubs, and
Luke Musgrave will lead the receiving corps while
Savion Williams and
Malik Heath take on bigger depth roles. Golden will now have eight days to get healthy before the Packers' Week 10 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught two of three targets for nine receiving yards. The rookie has been less productive than expected during his first NFL campaign, and now, his status is in doubt due to injury. Golden's absence could lead to more snaps for receivers such as
Savion Williams and
Malik Heath in a depth role behind
Christian Watson and
Romeo Doubs.
