Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) will do individual drills in practice on Thursday, according to Ryan Wood of USA Today Sports. From there, the Packers will see how Jacobs' knee is feeling before deciding how much he'll do for the remainder of Thursday's practice. Although Jacobs is still up in the air to play this Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, the good news is that he'll at least be a limited practice participant after he wasn't on the field on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has been a must-start in all fantasy formats as a touchdown machine in 2025, but he's shaping up as a risky commodity in Week 12, even if he's eventually cleared by Sunday's contest. At the very least, fantasy managers should have already scooped up
Emanuel Wilson off the waiver wire, as he will be in line for lead-back duties against the Vikes if Jacobs is limited or out in Week 12.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The rookie ran routes off to the side, but he didn't catch any passes as the Packers began to prepare for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Golden has been a disappointment in his first NFL season, frequently appearing on the injury report and catching just 24 passes for 286 yards and zero touchdowns through nine games. The Packers have a lengthy injury report on the offensive side of the ball with
Tucker Kraft (knee) on IR,
Josh Jacobs (knee) and
Savion Williams (foot) not practicing, and Golden,
Christian Watson (knee),
Romeo Doubs (wrist), and
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) all limited. If some of his fellow pass-catchers can't suit up this week, Golden would have a chance to emerge as
Jordan Love's primary target, giving him WR3/flex appeal. On the other hand, he has his own injury concerns to deal with, and he'll likely need to log a full practice at some point to avoid being issued a "questionable" designation.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs (wrist) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. He pops up on the injury report with a wrist injury, which seems to be new for him. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, but fantasy managers should monitor the injury report throughout the week. Doubs could be asked to take on a bigger role this weekend with
Christian Watson (knee),
Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist), and
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) all on the injury report as well. Fantasy managers should check the injury report on Thursday and Friday, but Doubs figures to be good to go for Week 12.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This comes as no surprise given the Packers have been cautious with Watson since he returned to the field a few weeks ago. Watson returned in Week 8 after recovering from a torn ACL from last year. He posted his best game of the season last week when he hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the New York Giants. Fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about as Watson being limited is likely just a precaution. The Packers wideouts are extremely banged up right now, so Watson could be looking at a heavy workload in Week 12.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (shoulder) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. This is good news after Love was briefly forced to exit the game during Sunday's win over the New York Giants. Barring any setbacks, Love should be ready to go versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. The Packers have a bunch of banged up players on offense, which could impact the fantasy value of Love, assuming they sit out. Fantasy managers who have Love rostered should monitor the injury report throughout the week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) remains limited in practice, as the rookie ran routes, but isn't catching passes. The speedster has struggled to get going this season and has just 24 catches for 286 yards and no touchdowns through nine games. Golden entered the season as one of the league's most hyped rookies, but has done little to move the needle for the Packers' offense. Meanwhile,
Romeo Doubs continues to be the pass-catcher to target in the Green Bay offense ahead of a divisional matchup with a strong Minnesota Vikings defense this week.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. "The plan is to try to get him healthy enough to go. It's gonna be a day-by-day thing ... and we'll see how he progresses as the week unfolds," LaFleur said. Jacobs suffered a knee contusion in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants, and the Packers are calling him day-to-day for now. The 27-year-old isn't being ruled out for a Week 12 divisional contest against the Minnesota Vikings, but he's going to need to get back on the practice field in the next couple of days to avoid being ruled out.
Emanuel Wilson operated as Green Bay's RB1 after Jacobs left last Sunday, making him one of the most popular waiver-wire pickups this week, even if it's for the short term.
Chris Brooks would also see an elevated workload if Jacobs is unable to play this weekend.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) will not return to practice on Wednesday, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. "As soon as medical clears him, he'll be out there. I know he's excited to get back, as am I," LaFleur said. The head coach said earlier this week that he's hoping to open Reed's 21-day practice window this week, so it's certainly possible he could practice on Thursday or Friday. However, fantasy managers who have been stashing the 25-year-old wideout since he broke his collarbone in Week 2 shouldn't expect him to play this weekend versus the division-rival Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. In addition to recovering from a broken collarbone, Reed also had surgery for a Jones fracture in his foot. He's expected to be a key part of the offense when cleared, but the Packers might ease him back in, too. The third-year pro could still be several weeks away from making his return.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson was one of Week 12's hottest waiver wire pickups. Reason being, he is slated to step in as the team's RB1 with
Josh Jacobs (knee) listed as questionable on Sunday against division rival, the Minnesota Vikings. Injured Reserve is not a consideration for Jacobs, and there have been reports suggesting that the 27-year-old is week-to-week as well. If Jacobs does miss, Wilson will become a plug-and-play RB2 for this Sunday against a middle-of-the-road Vikings run defense. If Jacob's does play, he will likely be limited, or at least Wilson should remain involved, giving him RB3 consideration. For those fantasy managers who swooped him off the waivers, it will be beneficial to keep tabs on Jacobs' practice logs this week, start Wilson if Jacobs is ruled out, or potentially look to sell-high and trade Wilson to Jacobs' fantasy owners if your trade deadline hasn't passed.

Green Bay Packers running back
Chris Brooks could possibly see a larger role on offense this weekend. Lead back
Josh Jacobs (knee) is uncertain to suit up for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. If he sits,
Emanuel Wilson is likely to take over as the lead back in Green Bay. That means, Brooks would move up to the primary backup if Jacobs is unavailable. Brooks hasn't played much this season, but that's not surprising for a third string back. He could be worth a look as a desperation flex play if Jacobs is ruled out.

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reports that Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) could return to practice on Wednesday after a two and a half month absence. "I sure as heck hope so," head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday when asked if the team would open anyone's 21-day practice window this week. The Packers will have a better idea about Reed's availability over the next two days. The 25-year-old wideout has been on IR since breaking his collarbone in Week 2, and he's also recovering from surgery on his foot for a Jones fracture. Reed is expected to play again this year, but it's uncertain when that will happen. Even if he returns to practice this week, it won't guarantee his return for a Week 12 divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Reed is rostered in only 35% of Yahoo leagues right now, and he should have a key role in the Packers' offense when he comes back.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson could be set up for a few weeks as the team's top pass-catcher before the potential return of
Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) from IR. In his growing role, he makes a nice addition if he's on the waiver wire in your leagues. The fourth-year receiver from North Dakota State missed the first seven weeks of the season but has played four straight games, logging multiple receptions and over 40 yards in each contest. On Sunday, he scored his first two touchdowns of the year to help power the Packers past the Giants. Watson and the Packers have tough receiver matchups against the Vikings and Lions in the next two weeks, but then he has three favorable matchups in the last four weeks of the fantasy season against the Bears twice and the Ravens.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) has been on Injured Reserve since Week 2 as he rehabs collarbone and foot injuries. However, Reed is expected to return this season and was reportedly ramping up his rehab leading into Green Bay's Week 11 win over the New York Giants. The Packers have yet to open Reed's 21-day activation window, so it may still be a few weeks before he retakes the field. Still, fantasy managers with an open IR spot may want to consider stashing the 25-year-old ahead of his eventual return. Across 17 games in 2024, Reed recorded 55 catches for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets. When healthy, he'll rejoin a crowded Packers wide receiver room that also includes
Romeo Doubs,
Christian Watson,
Matthew Golden, and
Dontayvion Wicks. The Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12 before traveling to Detroit in Week 13 to take on the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

November 17, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson broke out in a big way during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Watson has been held in check during his first few games, but finally found the end zone this past weekend. The 26-year-old hauled in four of his five targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Given the Packers current injuries, Watson could be an interesting waiver wire addition this week. The expectation is that Watson's role on the team will grow as time goes on. He should offer at least flex value for the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) suffered a knee contusion in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants on Sunday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Injured Reserve is not a consideration, and it's possible that Jacobs could be ready to play in Week 12 on Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. There have been reports suggesting that the 27-year-old is week-to-week as well. Jacobs' status for Week 12 will depend on how much he can do in practice this week, so we'll be keeping a close eye on his status from Wednesday through Friday. If he ends up being held out this Sunday,
Emanuel Wilson is expected to take over lead-back duties in Green Bay, which will make him a popular short-term waiver-wire pickup this week. Wilson played 71% of the offensive snaps on Sunday against the Giants.
