Green Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) appears to be ramping up his rehab, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported last week. Lloyd has not returned to practice with the rest of the team yet, but he was seen working up a sweat on a side field last week. The Packers could really use Lloyd right now after
Josh Jacobs suffered a knee injury in Sunday's win that could keep him from playing in Week 12 against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old Lloyd remains on Injured Reserve, though, and has played in one game for the Packers due to injuries since he was taken in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft. Green Bay is still holding out hope that he can contribute later this year, but it remains to be seen if that will actually happen. If Jacobs misses any time,
Emanuel Wilson should operate as the team's clear lead back.

Green Bay Packers standout running back
Josh Jacobs' knee is structurally sound, and he won't require surgery, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jacobs is considered day-to-day, but he could still miss the Week 12 divisional contest against the Minnesota Vikings. ESPN's Rob Demovsky is reporting that Jacobs is "week-to-week." The good news is that Jacobs doesn't have a season-ending knee injury, but fantasy managers should prepare for him to miss at least one game. The 27-year-old has been a must-start RB1 this year in fantasy football, as he has 11 rushing touchdowns in 10 games. Jacobs broke a six-game touchdown streak in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants before injuring his knee. Going into Week 12 action, fantasy managers are going to be rushing to the waiver wire to add
Emanuel Wilson, who is fully expected to take over most of Green Bay's backfield work if Jacobs misses time. In deeper leagues,
Chris Brooks is worth a look.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson stepped into a lead role in the second half on Sunday in the Packers' 27-20 victory over the New York Giants because
Josh Jacobs (knee) was injured and did not return in the second half of the game. Reports have suggested that Jacobs' knee injury is not "season-ending." However, he is expected to get additional testing done on Monday, and it appears likely that Wilson will be in line for RB1 duties in this offense, making him a clear, top-25 running back in fantasy football while Jacobs is out.
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is also injured, and Wilson is a must-add in all formats, and could be a plug-and-play option for your team as an RB2 or flex spot heading into Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings. Even with Jacobs healthy in 2025, Wilson has 53 rush attempts and 220 rushing yards on the season, and has been playing roughly 24% of the snaps, so he does have some exposure.

It wasn't an amazing statistical day for Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love in the 27-20 victory in Week 11 over the New York Giants on Sunday, but he did manage to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 8. Love finished the game going 13-for-24 passing for 174 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions while carrying the ball only twice for seven yards. The 27-year-old was sacked twice for a loss of 12 yards and also tossed a successful two-point conversion. He briefly left the contest due to a left-shoulder injury, but he was able to return and lead the Packers to their sixth win of the season. Love's TDs went to
Josh Whyle and
Christian Watson, who scored twice on the day. The fifth-year signal-caller has limited turnovers this year, but otherwise, he hasn't been anything special for fantasy managers. Going into a tough Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings (possibly without star RB
Josh Jacobs), Love will be a midrange QB2 in fantasy.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson broke out in his fourth game of the season in Sunday's 27-20 win on the road at MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants, catching four of his five targets for 46 yards and his first two touchdowns of the season. Watson didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 8 after tearing the ACL in his knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. In his first three games, he caught eight of his 12 targets for 188 yards and no scores. The 26-year-old scored in the first and fourth quarters in the Week 11 win, with his second TD reception being a contested-catch grab with multiple receivers draped all over him in the end zone. Targets might be harder to come by when
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) returns from Injured Reserve, but for now, Watson should remain a key contributor and big-play specialist in the Packers' offense. Watson will be in play as a WR4/flex with big-play upside in a Week 12 divisional clash against the Minnesota Vikings.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the New York Giants. Jacobs was pulled out in the second quarter due to a knee issue and didn't return. He finished the game with seven carries for 40 yards in the victory. The organization is uncertain of the severity of the injury right now, but doesn't believe it's a season-ending injury. Jacobs is set to undergo further testing on Monday. If he misses time,
Emanuel Wilson and
Chris Brooks would stand to gain value. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Monday.
UPDATE: Jacobs will have more tests on his left knee on Monday. He was able to briefly return after jamming his knee into the MetLife Stadium turf in Sunday's 27-20 win before leaving for good. There is optimism that Jacobs will be back soon.--Andy WebbSource: Adam Schefter

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur declined to provide additional information on running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) following Sunday's Week 11 win over the New York Giants. LaFleur acknowledged that he was "concerned about the welfare" of Jacobs, but he did not comment on the running back's status going forward. Presumably, he'll undergo more testing on Sunday evening or Monday morning. The team could provide an update on Monday, but if they don't, fantasy managers will have to wait until Wednesday for the Packers' first injury report of the week. Jacobs has seven days to get healthy before Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings. If he can't suit up,
Emanuel Wilson would take over as the Packers' primary running back.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. Jacobs exited near the start of the second quarter and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finishes the game with seven carries for 40 yards, plus an uncaught target.
Emanuel Wilson has taken over as the Packers' primary running back and will continue to lead the backfield for the duration of Jacobs' absence. The star ball-carrier now has seven days to get healthy before a key divisional matchup against Minnesota. If he can't suit up in Week 12, Wilson would rank as a low-end RB2 with high volume against a strong Vikings run defense.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) is officially questionable to return to his team's Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants due to a knee injury. The 27-year-old recorded seven carries for 40 yards before being forced to exit the game. If Jacobs is unable to return, Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson would likely see the majority of the team's backfield work for the remainder of Week 11. Jacobs' status will be something for fantasy managers to closely monitor until more information about his injury is released.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (shoulder) has returned to his team's Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants. Love was forced to briefly exit from the game in the first half due to a left shoulder injury, but he has since returned to the game. Love's shoulder will likely remain an issue to monitor, but for now, Packers fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. If Love should be forced to exit the game again,
Malik Willis would take over under center for Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (shoulder) departed Sunday's game at the New York Giants with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. Love was wincing in apparent pain and dipped into the medical tent, but the team has not yet made a designation about his return. In his absence,
Malik Willis stepped into the game and threw a touchdown pass to
Christian Watson. Managers will have to wait to see the extent of Love's injury, but Willis filled in admirably last season and could be of interest in Superflex formats if Love were to miss any time.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Malik Heath (coach's decision) did not travel with the team to New Jersey for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He is officially inactive as a healthy scratch. We don't know the details behind Heath's absence, but typically, decisions like these are made for disciplinary reasons. However, it's rare to see a coaching staff leave a player on the 53-man roster off the flight for non-injury reasons. Nevertheless, Heath will be inactive for the first time this season. He has caught all six of his targets for 86 yards this season. His void will be filled by
Savion Williams, who should fill a depth role behind
Romeo Doubs,
Dontayvion Wicks,
Christian Watson, and
Matthew Golden.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Savion Williams (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 23-year-old has taken on a slightly increased role lately, catching five passes for 22 yards and a touchdown (plus a lost fumble) over his last three games. He should continue to occupy a depth role this Sunday, keeping him off the fantasy radar in most leagues. He can be left on waivers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable following three consecutive limited practices. The 22-year-old is returning from a one-week absence. Through eight games this year, he has just 23 catches for 262 yards, and he's still looking for his first career touchdown. The first-round pick has not yet lived up to expectations, ranking as the overall WR72 in PPR leagues so far. He can be benched or dropped in most redraft leagues.

Green Bay Packers kicker
Brandon McManus (quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He was a full participant in practice this week and didn't get added to the injury report until Saturday. Once he was added, though, the team listed him as doubtful, indicating that he likely wouldn't play.
Lucas Havrisik, who is 6-for-6 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals this year, will kick in his absence.
