According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee) had arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday to alleviate pain and swelling, according to a source. He could make it back for the Super Bowl if the Packers advance that far. Alexander has been sidelined since Week 12 due to a PCL injury. Across seven games this season, Alexander has tallied 16 total tackles (15 solo) with seven pass deflections and two interceptions. While he has been out, Carrington Valentine has seen an increase in snaps. Over his previous seven contests, he has logged at least 30 defensive snaps in each of them and tallied 22 total tackles with two interceptions over this span. He should continue to operate as a starter in the Green Bay secondary throughout the playoffs.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft was solid in his limited opportunity in the Packers' 27-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Kraft caught 2-of-3 passes from quarterback
Jordan Love for 53 receiving yards and had the Packers' longest pass play of the day; a 35-yard strike from Love in the fourth quarter that helped to set up their first of two touchdowns in the final stanza. While the Packers had their most passing attempts since before their Week 10 bye, it wasn't enough for Green Bay to put up any sort of meaningful passing volume outside of
Romeo Doubs' team-leading 11 targets. The Packers will host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 finale and Kraft should be considered a streaming option at tight end for fantasy purposes.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed continued his steep backslide in consistency and production as the Packers fell to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Reed had been a bit disappointing of late with his fantasy production with a combined eight catches for 110 yards in his last three weeks combined, but he caught his only target for six yards in Green Bay's loss. With
Christian Watson (knee) inactive for Week 17's game, the hope was that targets would condense to multiple weapons in the Packers' offense. However, it was
Romeo Doubs, not Reed, who was the primary recipient of those looks from quarterback
Jordan Love as Doubs led the Packers in targets. Consider Reed a low-end flex option when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 regular season finale.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs led the Packers in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in the Packers' 27-25 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Doubs was the Packers' most consistent passing-game option on the afternoon, catching 7-of-11 targets for 58 yards from quarterback
Jordan Love. The Packers had the most passing attempts they've had since before their Week 10 bye and Doubs was a big part of that in Week 17. With the Packers' regular season finale in Week 18 where they will host the Chicago Bears, Doubs should be considered a low-end flex option for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks was a contributor to the Packers' effort but came up short as Green Bay lost to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Wicks caught 4-of-5 targets for 43 yards, finishing second on the team in targets on the afternoon. The recipient of quarterback
Jordan Love's first two completions of the game, Wicks earned just one targets until the Packers' final drive of the game. Taking advantage of
Christian Watson (knee) being inactive for the Packers in Week 17, Wicks was solid, but unspectacular. Wicks' fantasy value will be directly tied to Watson's availability in Week 18 when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in Week 18. For fantasy purposes, Wicks would be a dart-throw flex option if Watson doesn't suit up.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs continued his touchdown binge despite losing to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Jacobs saw the 17-of-23 running back carries in Week 17, rushing for 69 yards and a third-quarter touchdown to get the Packers within two scores. With the Packers down from the second quarter onward, the game script eventually shifted to passing in the fourth quarter, where Jacobs had just four carries in the second half. Jacobs also lost a 19-yard touchdown which was nullified by a holding penalty, so his output could have been even better. Still, Jacobs is the engine of the Packers' offense and should be a locked-in RB1 in the Packers' final regular season game against the Chicago Bears in Week 18.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love continues his backslide in the second half of the season as the Packers fell to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Love was 19-of-30 passing for 185 yards and a lone touchdown pass to
Malik Heath late in the fourth quarter. For the first time since their Week 10 bye, the Packers had 30 pass attempts in a game, but that slightly increased passing volume didn't matter as even down 17 points at times in the third and fourth quarter, the Packers still mixed in run plays with less urgency than one would expect. Love has been a top-12 fantasy quarterback just twice since Week 9 and will be a weaker streaming option when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in their Week 18 regular season finale.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. The 25-year-old had been listed as questionable but was not expected to play entering this weekend.
Jayden Reed,
Dontayvion Wicks, and
Romeo Doubs will step up as the Packers' top wide receiver for the duration of Watson's absence. Reed remains the top fantasy receiver in Green Bay, but all three have FLEX upside given
Jordan Love's ability to distribute targets.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) is unlikely to play on Sunday in the showdown against Minnesota, according to a report from NFL Network. The receiver's third year has been a major letdown from a fantasy perspective, and the injury certainly isn't helping. Watson has just 29 catches on 52 targets in 14 games this season, posting a similar stat line to last season in which he played only nine games. Without him this week, receivers
Jayden Reed,
Romeo Doubs, and
Dontayvion Wicks figure to lead the Packers' receiver room against the Vikings.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (knee) did not take part in any of the team's three practices from Wednesday through Friday this week but is questionable to play in a big Week 17 divisional contest on the road against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Not only is Watson on the wrong side of questionable after not practicing all week, but he becomes even harder to rely on for fantasy purposes this weekend with the Packers not kicking off until the later slate on Sunday. Despite not practicing all week, head coach Matt LaFleur said the door is "still open" for Watson to play. The oft-injured third-year wideout suffered a knee bruise in Monday's win over the New Orleans Saints. If Watson is available against the Vikes, he'll be at risk of seeing fewer snaps. For a guy that hasn't been a top-50 fantasy receiver in 2024, it's probably just best to avoid him in fantasy with everything on the line.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs looks to regain his foothold in the Green Bay passing game as the Packers head to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in Week 17. Doubs has been very touchdown-dependent this season with one game over 75 yards receiving and no games with more than six targets since Week 8. Against the Seahawks in Week 15, Doubs scored twice but put up just 40 yards on three catches, and then in Week 16, was a background player with just two receptions for 20 yards. Doubs tends to disappear in games but with
Christian Watson (knee) questionable heading into Week 17's game, that could open up more opportunity for Doubs. The Vikings have given up the most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season, but with Doubs being a question mark from a target-earning perspective, he's merely a low-end flex play for Week 17.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks should see his opportunities open quite a bit more as the Packers travel to U.S. Bank Stadium to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. With
Christian Watson (knee) questionable for the game, Wicks' value would be tied to Watson's availability. If Watson doesn't play, Wicks will be the primary outside receiver opposite
Romeo Doubs and should run more routes than he typically does with Watson healthy. Wicks caught a touchdown pass in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints and led the team with seven targets. The Vikings have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, but even then, Wicks is a low-end flex option for fantasy no matter Watson's status for Week 17's game against the Vikings.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft (hip) is off the injury report and is looking to keep up his solid season as the Packers head into Minnesota to face off with the Vikings in Week 17. Following two limited practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, Kraft was a full participant in Friday's practice and will be active against the Vikings, who have been a middle-of-the-road team this season in defending tight ends. With two straight games under double-digit fantasy points, Kraft, the TE8 in fantasy on the season, looks to get back to being a solid receiving option for quarterback
Jordan Love. With receiver
Christian Watson (knee) questionable for Week 17, the passing game could condense a bit if Watson is out, so more targets could be available for Kraft. For fantasy purposes, Kraft is a low-end TE1 against the Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit will face a stiff test as they head to Minnesota to face off with the Vikings in Week 17. The Packers D/ST has been a formidable defense over the last several weeks, finishing top ten in five of the last six weeks amongst fantasy D/ST. In the last two weeks, they've been a top five D/ST with a total of 10 sacks, three interceptions, and a forced fumble over the last two weeks. The potent Minnesota Vikings' offense awaits the Packers and while this game will be a huge litmus test for the Green Bay, it's one where if you are rostering them in fantasy for your semifinals or championship, I would be hesitant and looking to see what other options are on waivers.
