Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Jacobs was held out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee issue, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Friday, giving him a chance to play. The 27-year-old has been one of the NFL's most consistent running backs so far this season. Across 12 games, Jacobs has logged 206 carries for 817 yards and 12 touchdowns. If active in Week 15, Jacobs will face a difficult matchup in the Broncos' defense. Entering Sunday, Denver ranks first among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.7) and second in total rushing yards allowed (1,157). Jacobs has proven the ability to find the end zone against pretty much every unit he has matched up against so far this season. However, the Denver defense, combined with a potentially limited workload due to the knee injury, should likely lead fantasy managers to slightly downgrade expectations. If active, Jacobs profiles as a high-end fantasy RB2 in Week 15.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Wicks was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. He should be back in the mix this Sunday, but he won't draw an easy matchup. The Broncos have allowed the second-fewest yards per target to wide receivers this season. The Packers also have a ton of mouths to feed at the receiver position with
Romeo Doubs,
Jayden Reed,
Christian Watson, and rookie
Matthew Golden all healthy heading into this game. Wicks had an epic two-touchdown game during the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions. That performance put him on the fantasy radar, but he has quickly fallen off as the Packers get healthy. Fantasy managers can leave Wicks on the bench in Week 15 after he wasn't targeted at all last week in the win over the Bears.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (shoulder) will avoid an injury designation ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Reed made his return from a 10-game absence due to a fractured foot and broken collarbone during last week's win over the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old hauled in all four of his targets for 31 yards while carrying the ball twice for 22 yards. The assumption is that Reed's workload will increase after playing only 47 percent of the offensive snaps last weekend. He'll draw a tough matchup against a Broncos defense that has allowed the second-fewest yards per target to wide receivers this season. Reed still has enough upside to be looked at as a potential flex play in Week 15, but fantasy managers should temper their expectations in a bad matchup as Reed battles for touches in a crowded WR room in Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (calf) will not be activated from Injured Reserve to make his 2025 debut in Week 15 on Sunday against the hosting Denver Broncos, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Lloyd has been limited in practices since having his 21-day window opened on Dec. 1. The 24-year-old was held out of practice on Friday. The Packers have been optimistic about Lloyd's chances of returning this year, but he's running out of time, with his next opportunity to play coming in Week 16 in another big divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears. The former third-rounder has been on IR all season and has only played in one regular-season game since entering the league in 2024. If starter
Josh Jacobs (knee) is unable to play this weekend in the Mile High City,
Emanuel Wilson will probably be Green Bay's lead back, with
Chris Brooks serving as the backup.

The Green Bay Packers' defense and special teams unit have their work cut out for them in Week 15 as the Packers travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. Over the past two weeks, the Packers have averaged two sacks per game against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. They'll face the Broncos in Week 15, and Denver has the eighth-fewest giveaways in the league, while the Packers have the fourth-fewest takeaways through 13 games. The Packers have been one of the most underwhelming fantasy defenses because they rely so much on their pass rush, with 33 sacks, the 11th-highest total in the league. Green Bay is a middling D/ST this week for fantasy purposes.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus hasn't missed a kick in three weeks, but hasn't been too fantasy relevant in recent weeks. He'll look to turn it around in Denver against the Broncos in Week 15. In the last three weeks, McManus has averaged 8.0 fantasy points per game and has made all four field goals and each of his 10 point-after attempts. That said, the Packers have been excellent in the last couple of weeks in converting their drives into touchdowns, so McManus has been kicking many more extra points (eight) than field goals (one) in their last two contests against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears. In Week 15, McManus heads to Denver, where he spent the majority of his NFL career. For the Packers' game against the Broncos, McManus is a low-end fantasy kicker for that matchup.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) put in a full practice on Friday after two limited sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, and Golden will be good to go when the Packers head to Denver to face the Broncos. Returning to game action in Week 14, Golden earned just a single target from quarterback
Jordan Love on four pass routes. Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Golden would be limited to "pass situations only" when talking about Golden's role in Week 14, so clearly, that limited his fantasy points potential. With all of the pass-catching options for the Packers healthier heading into Week 15, Golden may have trouble getting on the field with players like
Christian Watson,
Jayden Reed,
Romeo Doubs, and others ahead of him. Golden is a very risky bet for fantasy success in Week 15 against a stout Denver defense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson has been the most productive pass-catcher for the Packers in the past few weeks, and he looks to carry over that momentum when the Packers head to Denver to face the Broncos in Week 15. Watson followed up a 4-80-1 effort against the Detroit Lions in Week 13 with a 4-89 and two scores last week in the Packers' pivotal division showdown with the Chicago Bears. Watson runs into a stiff test in Week 15, as he'll likely draw the shadow coverage of Patrick Surtain II, one of the best cornerbacks in football and the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Despite that, Watson is on a heater right now for fantasy, and if anybody can break a long reception for a score, it's Watson. Surtain's presence should temper fantasy managers' expectations for Watson this week. That said, Watson is a volatile WR3 fantasy option against the Broncos.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs has seen a recent backslide in production, but he looks to get going again as the Packers travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 15. Doubs' recent downturn coincides with
Christian Watson's ascension to Green Bay's top target in the offense. While Doubs continues to run routes at a fairly solid clip, with over 72% routes per dropback in the last four games, he has just 10 receptions and 101 yards in his last four games combined. In Week 14 against the Bears, Doubs turned in his worst full-game outing of the season, with just two targets and zero receptions. Doubs had some trust from fantasy managers in the middle of the season when tight end
Tucker Kraft went down with his season-ending injury, but since Watson's return, Doubs has been largely irrelevant for fantasy football. In a tough Week 15 matchup in Denver against the Broncos, consider Doubs a desperation flex play at best for fantasy.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love has been QB11 or better in three of his last four games, but draws a tough assignment as the Packers head to Denver to take on the Broncos. Love has back-to-back 20+ fantasy point outings against the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, with three or more touchdowns in both games. Making that three straight games, with a road game in Denver, will be a tall order. The Broncos allow the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and the ninth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers as well, making it a tough matchup across the board for the Packers' pass-catchers and Love. For fantasy purposes, Love is a low-end streaming quarterback in single quarterback leagues, but a mid-range QB2 in two-quarterback formats.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially questionable to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Week 15. Jacobs suffered a knee injury in Week 11 against the New York Giants and was held out in Week 12 as a precaution. The 27-year-old only missed one game, though, and handled his normal workhorse role the last two weeks, with 37 rushing attempts for 169 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Jacobs' knee stiffened up on him on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, though, prompting him to undergo an MRI exam. Tests have thankfully turned up negative for any structural damage, but his status for Week 15 is in question. It creates a difficult decision for fantasy managers this weekend, especially since the Packers and Broncos square off in the late window on Sunday. Jacobs has been a must-start RB1 in fantasy in 2025 with 12 touchdowns in 12 games, but he could be at less than full strength against a Broncos defense that allows the second-fewest rushing yards per game (89).
Emanuel Wilson is worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup in case Jacobs is ruled out entirely on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) will practice in a limited fashion on Friday after missing the last two days, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. "It sounds like he's feeling pretty good," LaFleur said. The Packers must still see how Jacobs' knee is feeling after the workout, but the star RB at least has a chance to play this Sunday against the Denver Broncos. The 27-year-old injured his knee in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants and was held out the following week, but he has played the last two games while handling his normal workhorse role, carrying the ball 37 times for 169 rushing yards and a touchdown. However, Jacobs' knee stiffened up during the win over the Bears on Sunday, putting his availability in question for Week 15. The good news is that he's not dealing with any structural damage. The bad news is that he could share more work with
Emanuel Wilson on Sunday if he's active.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson has spent the majority of the 2025 season in a backup role to his superstar teammate, running back
Josh Jacobs (knee). However, Jacobs is battling a lingering knee injury that has held him out of practice on both Wednesday and Thursday heading into the team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. In the one game that Jacobs has missed so far this season, Wilson recorded 125 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 30 touches against the Minnesota Vikings. If Jacobs were to miss additional time, Wilson would immediately vault into being a clear starting fantasy running back. Along with the potential for playing time, Wilson has proven himself capable of solid production. Across 37 career NFL games, he's averaged 4.6 yards per carry and scored eight touchdowns. Until Jacobs proves to be fully clear of the knee injury that has plagued him since Week 11, Wilson is a must-roster player with league-winning upside.

Green Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (calf) was listed as a limited participant for the second straight day at Thursday's practice, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Lloyd's 21-day practice window was opened last week, and he was a limited participant all week, but he wasn't quite ready to return for the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. The 2024 third-round pick has yet to play in a game this season, but he could be ready to make his season debut in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos. With
Josh Jacobs (knee) missing consecutive practices and trending in the wrong direction to play, Lloyd could end up having a role in Green Bay's backfield alongside
Emanuel Wilson and
Chris Brooks if he is activated from IR for Sunday's game.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) was a limited participant again in Thursday's practice session, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Golden has been held back by a nagging wrist injury for a few weeks now, and it contributed to him barely playing on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. The rookie first-rounder played just 9.4% of the offensive snaps and saw one target. It was by far his lowest snap share of the season, with his previous low being the last game he played in Week 11 against the New York Giants. It's difficult to see Golden's role ticking back up with
Jayden Reed returning from injury in Week 14, and the Texas product can't be trusted by fantasy managers in a tough Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos on the road.
