Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs' recent downturn over the last four games has coincided with
Christian Watson's ascension in the Packers' offense as the top target. Doubs continues to run routes at a fairly solid clip, with over 72% routes per dropback in the last four games. Despite that, Doubs has just 10 receptions and 101 yards in his previous four games combined. In Week 14 against the Bears, Doubs posted his worst full-game performance of the season, with just two catchless targets. Doubs had some trust 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, Doubs is a desperation flex play at best.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky writes that Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited by his wrist injury in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also limited, allowing Bo Melton to step into the No. 4 receiver role. Melton's only catch of the game was a big 45-yard touchdown. The 22-year-old Golden returned to action on Sunday and disappointed, failing to haul in his only target while playing just five offensive snaps. The Texas product had missed the previous two games with shoulder and wrist injuries. Golden should have a bigger role in a Week 15 matchup on the road against the 11-2 Denver Broncos, but fantasy managers just cannot trust him in a tough matchup while being buried in a crowded receiving corps that just got
Jayden Reed back from Injured Reserve.

ESPN's Rob Demovsky says that both Green Bay Packers wide receivers
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and
Matthew Golden (wrist) were limited due to their injuries in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears, allowing Bo Melton to move into the No. 4 receiver spot. Melton caught a big 45-yard touchdown pass on his only reception of the day. Wicks only played 11% of the offensive snaps on Sunday, with Golden playing 9% of the snaps. Wicks wasn't targeted at all, while Golden was unable to secure his lone target on the day at Lambeau Field. Both Wicks and Golden figure to be on the field more if they can put their respective injuries behind them, but Green Bay's receiving corps is now as healthy as it has been all year with the return of
Jayden Reed. Wicks' six-catch, 94-yard, two-touchdown performance on Thanksgiving will most likely end up being an outlier performance in 2025.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed returned from foot and shoulder injuries that had sidelined him since Week 2 in his team's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. Reed recorded four catches for 31 yards on four targets and also logged 22 rushing yards on two carries. The 25-year-old played 47% of Green Bay's offensive snaps, third-most among Packers wide receivers behind
Romeo Doubs and
Christian Watson. Green Bay may up Reed's snap share as he re-integrates himself into the offense, but his upside is limited by the Packers' run-heavy offense and their crowded wide receiver room. Still, Reed has proven he can be a playmaker in the past, recording 1,020 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns across 17 games in 2024. In leagues where he is available, Reed is worth targeting as an upside play heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love had a highly efficient day in his team's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears, completing 17 of 25 pass attempts for 234 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The 27-year-old's 9.4 yards per pass attempt against Chicago was his best single-game mark since Week 8. Love is also on a touchdown-throwing tear, as he's now thrown for seven scores over the last two weeks. Across 13 games overall, Love has thrown for 3,028 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four picks. While Green Bay prefers to play a run-heavy offensive style, Love's ability to be efficient gives him a chance at solid fantasy production every week. He profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 heading into a difficult Week 15 matchup on the road against the Denver Broncos.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson caught all four of his targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. Even with
Jayden Reed returning to the lineup, Watson continued to operate as the Packers' top receiver. He now has five touchdowns over the last four weeks, and he has at least four catches in each of those four games. The 26-year-old continues to perform quite well in this crowded receiver room, largely thanks to
Jordan Love's strong passing season. He has quietly ranked as the eighth-highest-scoring receiver in half-PPR leagues since making his season debut in Week 8. Watson ranks as a strong WR2 option heading into Week 15 against the Denver Broncos.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 22-year-old returns from a two-game absence and will look to turn around a disappointing rookie season. Through nine games this year, he has 24 catches for 286 yards and zero touchdowns. Golden will face a tougher pass to productivity this week now that
Jayden Reed has returned from injured reserve. Reed,
Christian Watson, and
Romeo Doubs all figure to be more involved than Golden once again. The Texas product can be benched in most fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson has been on a tear lately, and he should continue to be quite productive during Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Chicago Bears. Specifically, Watson has 13 catches, 175 yards, and three touchdowns over his last three games, ranking as the WR10 in half-PPR leagues during that span. Although Watson will find himself with a little more competition this week after the Packers activated
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder), he should still be started in most leagues. It appears that Watson has established himself as
Jordan Love's favorite target, which bodes well for his volume and productivity against a Bears defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Watson ranks as the overall WR24 in RotoBaller's Week 14 fantasy rankings. He should be started in all leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Golden has been limited in practice all week due to a lingering wrist issue. He has missed the last two games due to the injury, but is hopeful of playing on Sunday. When healthy, Golden hasn't been much of an asset for fantasy managers lately. The rookie wideout has been held to under 40 receiving yards in each of his last four games. He played a season-low 35 percent of the offensive snaps during his latest appearance in Week 11. His role is expected to be reduced with
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) making his return from the IR. Golden isn't someone who should be trusted for Week 14 outside of deep leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) has been activated from injured reserve and will play in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, instantly putting him back on the fantasy radar for the final stretch of the 2025 season. Reed has been sidelined since Week 2, when he only played a handful of snaps before getting injured. His performance in the season opener was impressive, as he caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. The biggest obstacle between Reed and a fantasy-relevant role is
Christian Watson, who has 13 catches, 175 yards, and two touchdowns over his last three games. Aside from Watson, though, players like
Romeo Doubs,
Matthew Golden, and
Dontayvion Wicks don't pose a major threat of competition to Reed. In his first game back, he'll get a juicy matchup against the Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and third-most receiving touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025. Reed could be deployed as a low-end WR3/flex in most fantasy leagues.

The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver
Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup against the division rival Chicago Bears. Reed will play in Week 14 for the first time since suffering a fractured collarbone in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old wideout also entered the season dealing with a Jones fracture, but he appears to have recovered from both injuries and is good to go for Sunday. Reed has served as a dynamic weapon for the Packers since entering the league in 2023. He led Green Bay in nearly every receiving category last season, recording 55 receptions for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets, while also adding 20 carries for 163 yards and one touchdown as a runner. Reed has the talent to assert himself as Green Bay's No. 1 option even in a crowded pass-catching room. He could be eased back into action on Sunday against the Bears, and should be viewed as a low-end WR3/flex option.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs had a solid mid-season run where he was posting performances in the WR20 range. Now, Doubs appears to have taken a back seat in the receiving game with
Christian Watson becoming quarterback
Jordan Love's go-to target. Over the last four games, Doubs has finished with fewer than 50 receiving yards in three of them. Doubs managed to salvage his fantasy value with a touchdown during last week's Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions. Given his recent play, Doubs hasn't earned much faith from fantasy managers. The impending return of
Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) will make it even more difficult for Doubs to make an impact in Green Bay's crowded receiving room. For now, Doubs can be viewed as a low-end flex option for the Week 14 divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 14 matchup versus the Chicago Bears. When healthy, Golden has been barely noticeable on the field. The rookie wideout has been held to under 30 receiving yards in three of his last four games. The return of
Christian Watson has played a role in Golden's lack of production. It's not going to get better for Golden with fellow wideout
Jayden Reed (shoulder, foot) nearing his return from Injured Reserve, possibly this Sunday. Golden played less than 40 percent of the offensive snaps in his last two games. Even if he returns to action this weekend, Golden isn't someone to trust in 12-team fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson was a popular waiver-wire pickup after starting RB
Josh Jacobs injured his knee in the Week 11 win over the New York Giants. Wilson took full advantage of Jacobs' absence in the team's Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, carrying the ball a season-high 28 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns while adding two receptions for 18 yards. Before that spike performance, the 26-year-old hadn't seen more than eight carries (Sept. 28) in a game behind Jacobs. In the win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day last Thursday, with Jacobs back in action, Wilson saw just four carries for 14 yards and wasn't targeted through the air. The 26-year-old showed that he can be successful for fantasy managers in a lead-back role, but unless Jacobs misses time with an injury again, Wilson just cannot be trusted in starting fantasy lineups.

Green Bay Packers running back
MarShawn Lloyd (calf) has been ruled out and will not come off Injured Reserve to play on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the division-rival Chicago Bears in Week 14, according to the team. Lloyd finally returned to practice for the first time earlier this week, but he's not ready to play in games just yet. The 24-year-old former third-round pick in 2024 out of USC hasn't played at all this season and managed to suit up in just one game in his rookie campaign last year due to injuries. He has reportedly put in plenty of time and effort to get his body right so that he can hopefully put his injuries in the rearview mirror for good. The Packers had high hopes for Lloyd when they drafted him, but he just hasn't been able to stay on the field. It's unclear how much more time he'll need, but when he is activated from IR, he'll merely be vying for a backup role alongside
Emanuel Wilson and
Chris Brooks behind starter
Josh Jacobs.
