John FitzPatrick John FitzPatrick Sees one target in Week 13 win
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:56 PM
FitzPatrick didn't catch his only target in a 31-24 win over Detroit on Thursday.
Analysis: FitzPatrick again took the field with Green Bay's starters, but he got exactly one target for the third straight week. After surpassing a 60 percent offensive snap share each of the previous two weeks, he logged just a 24 percent share Thursday, while Luke Musgrave (59 percent) and Josh Whyle (51 percent) worked well ahead of him in the tight-end pecking order. That could be an indication that Whyle is going to eat more into FitzPatrick's opportunities moving forward. |

Malik Heath Malik Heath No catches in Week 13 victory
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:49 PM
Heath didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Jordan Love tossed 30 passes for the first time in three weeks, but only one of them went to Heath, who now has gone without a reception in each of his past three games. Heath logged as many offensive snaps (11) as receiver-turned-cornerback Bo Melton, while Romeo Doubs (53), Christian Watson (46) and Dontayvion Wicks (31) featured as Green Bay's top three wideouts. Heath's role could shrink further when Matthew Golden (wrist) or Savion Williams (foot) return to action. |

Chris Brooks Chris Brooks Logs two catches on Thanksgiving
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 8:39 PM
Brooks didn't get any carries but caught both of his targets for nine yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over Detroit.
Analysis: On a day when six different Packers -- including three WRs -- got at least one carry, Brooks was invisible in the running game. However, he did notch a pair of catches to ensure his name appeared in the box score. Brooks has 11 rushes and 10 catches on the campaign as Green Bay's No. 3 RB, so it's not out of the norm for him to be featured more as a pass catcher than as a ball carrier during his limited offensive snaps. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Scores twice in Thanksgiving win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:09 PM
Wicks caught six of seven targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He also rushed once for six yards.
Analysis: Wicks recorded a 22-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter and scored a one-yard touchdown in the third quarter. He also maintained his concentration despite losing his shoe to secure a game-sealing 16-yard catch in the fourth quarter, which converted on fourth down for the Packers and allowed them to run out the clock with a pair of kneel downs on the following two plays. That final reception also helped Wicks edge out Christian Watson (80 yards) for the team lead in receiving yards, though Watson led the Packers with 10 targets Thursday. Wicks hadn't scored a regular-season touchdown since Week 16 of the 2024 season, so it remains to be seen if he can build on this Thanksgiving Day breakout when the Packers host the Bears in Week 14. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Posts 51-yard TD among 10 targets
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:07 PM
Watson caught four of 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He also rushed once for three yards.
Analysis: Watson may have gotten away with a pushoff on his 51-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter but the play stood as his third touchdown catch in the past three games and accounted for the majority of his production Thursday. His season debut didn't come until Week 8, but Watson has recorded at least 45 receiving yards in all six of his appearances, establishing himself as the top receiving option in a Green Bay offense that's normally run-heavy, Thursday's four-touchdown performance from Jordan Love notwithstanding. Watson's fantasy stock continues to rise heading into another NFC North matchup in Week 14 against the Bears. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Racks up 18 touches in return
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:05 PM
Jacobs rushed 17 times for 83 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Jacobs reclaimed the lead role in the backfield in his return from a one-game absence due to a knee injury. Emanuel Wilson had four carries and Chris Brooks drew two targets, as Green Bay's backup running backs saw sparse usage. Jacobs has failed to score a touchdown in each of his last two appearances after being kept out of the end zone only once in the preceding 17 regular-season games. He'll look to end this brief scoring drought in Week 14 against the Bears. |

Jordan Love Jordan Love Four TDs in Thanksgiving Day win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 4:03 PM
Love completed 18 of 30 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions. He added five rushing attempts for four yards.
Analysis: Love tossed second-quarter touchdown passes of 22 yards to Dontayvion Wicks and two yards to Romeo Doubs, then added third-quarter touchdown passes of 51 yards to Christian Watson and one yard to Wicks. Each of those four touchdown passes gave the Packers leads of exactly 10 points. Love had only two touchdown passes in his previous four games combined, so Thursday's bounce-back performance was a welcome sight for Love's fantasy managers, as he tied his single-game career high with four touchdown passes. He bolstered his 2025 TD:INT to 19:3 ahead of a pivotal Week 14 home game against the Bears. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Just four totes in Week 13
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 3:55 PM
Wilson carried the ball four times for 14 yards in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: With Josh Jacobs back in action after a one-game absence, Wilson returned to a depth role. The third-year back proved himself in Week 12 with 125 scrimmage yards and two rushing TDs as the starter, but as long as Jacobs is healthy, Wilson's workload will be unpredictable at best -- over the four games prior to his spot start, he saw anywhere from two to 14 touches. |

Luke Musgrave Luke Musgrave Just one grab against Detroit
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 3:49 PM
Musgrave caught his only target for a 23-yard reception in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: The third-year tight end continues to see a limited role in the Packers' passing attack, even with Tucker Kraft (knee) lost for the season. Musgrave has hauled in a single pass in three straight games, and in four contests since Kraft went down, he's managed just a 6-52-0 line on eight targets. He'll be little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes in Week 14 against the Bears. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Finds end zone in Thanksgiving win
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 3:46 PM
Doubs caught all four of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 win over the Lions.
Analysis: The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of Jordan Love's second of four TD passes on the afternoon, snagging a two-yard toss with about two minutes left before halftime. It was Doubs' fifth touchdown of the season but his first since Week 4, snapping a seven-game drought. He'll take a 45-542-5 line on 71 targets into a crucial NFC North clash with the Bears in Week 14 at Lambeau Field. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Joined by Jacobs again in Week 13
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 11:23 AM
Wilson is poised to take a step back in the Packers backfield for Thursday's game at Detroit with Josh Jacobs (knee) active, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Wilson was Green Bay's lead runner in this past Sunday's win against the Vikings, racking up 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns and gathering in both targets for 18 yards. When Jacobs was active for the first 10 games of the season, even Week 11 at the Giants, when Jacobs made an early exit due to the knee injury, Wilson topped out at 11 touches (three times), 87 total yards and one TD in a given contest. Assuming Jacobs is good for his normal workload, Wilson likely will fall back to single-digit touch territory. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Inactive Thursday
Thu, Nov 27, 2025, 10:41 AM
Golden (wrist) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Lions.
Analysis: After being listed as limited on Green Bay's Week 13 injury report Monday through Wednesday, Golden -- who also was inactive this past Sunday against the Vikings -- approached Thursday's contest listed as questionable. In Golden's continued absence, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are in line to lead the Packers' WR corps versus Detroit, with Malik Heath, Bo Melton and Will Sheppard available to mix in. Golden's next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Dec. 7 against the Bears. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Cleared to play Thursday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:30 PM
Wicks (calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's road matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Wicks was listed as a limited participant on Green Bay's first two practice reports of Week 13, but he's now been cleared to play through his lingering calf injury, as usual. The third-year wideout looks set to benefit from increased opportunities on Thanksgiving Day, with Savion Williams (foot) and Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot), the latter of whom remains on IR, both ruled out to face Detroit, and Matthew Golden (wrist) listed as questionable. Though Wicks hasn't yet scored or logged a single game with at least 50 receiving yards across nine regular-season appearances so far, he'll be worth consideration as a pivot option in deeper fantasy formats if Golden is unavailable Thursday. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Won't play on Thanksgiving
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:28 PM
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Detroit.
Analysis: Fellow wideout Matthew Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable, while Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) will be out for at least one more week. Dontayvion Wicks could get a lot of snaps as the No. 3 receiver alongside Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, especially if Golden is inactive again. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Ruled out for Week 13
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:25 PM
Reed (foot), who remains on IR, was limited in practice Wednesday and has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Reed has been listed as a limited participant on four consecutive injury reports since having his 21-day practice window opened, but he requires more time to ramp up his activity level. The third-year wideout's next chance to retake the field will come Sunday, Dec. 7 versus the Bears in Week 14, though he could have to resume practicing in full in order to actually be cleared to suit up. Matthew Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit, while Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been cleared to play. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Officially listed as questionable
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:06 PM
Golden (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Golden logged another limited practice session Wednesday. The rookie first-round pick had practiced in a limited capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 12 against the Vikings, a game for which he was also listed as questionable, so it's possible his status for Thanksgiving Day will come down to the wire. Green Bay will make Golden's availability, or lack thereof, official no later than 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Ready for Thursday's game
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 2:02 PM
Jacobs (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jacobs suffered a bone bruise in his knee early during Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11 and was forced to sit out the team's win over the Vikings in Week 12, but he'll take the field for Thanksgiving Day's road divisional showdown against Detroit. The fact that Jacobs has avoided an injury designation entirely bodes well for his odds of immediately returning to his usual workhorse role versus the Lions, though it's worth noting that he remained limited in practice Wednesday. As such, it's possible Emanuel Wilson handles greater touches than usual in his complementary No. 2 role, especially after his impressive performance versus Minnesota. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Expected to suit up Thursday
Wed, Nov 26, 2025, 8:30 AM
Jacobs (knee) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jacobs sat out the Packers' Week 12 win over the Vikings while managing a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, but he's now been listed as a limited participant on four consecutive injury reports and is trending in the right direction for Thanksgiving Day. While Jacobs seems likely to receive an official injury designation for Week 13 unless he's able to upgrade to full practice reps Wednesday, the bell cow running back is expected to suit up versus Detroit. If Jacobs does carry an injury designation, however, his availability won't be made official until Green Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Doesn't practice Tuesday
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 6:22 PM
Williams (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Analysis: Williams has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a lingering foot injury, though Monday's session was an estimate, as the Packers didn't hold a practice. The rookie third-rounder has been managing a foot injury since early November, and with the Packers playing Thanksgiving Day against the Lions, he would likely have to practice Wednesday in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at playing Thursday. If Williams is not cleared to play, then Malik Heath and Bo Melton would be candidates for more snaps at wide receiver, and Melton would also be in line for return duties on kickoffs. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Reps capped in walkthrough
Tue, Nov 25, 2025, 5:20 PM
Wicks (calf) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: Wicks was one of four Packers listed as limited Tuesday in what's expected to be the team's most extensive workout of the week prior to Thursday's game against the Lions. Along with Wicks, Jayden Reed (shoulder/foot) -- who remains on injured reserve -- Savion Williams (foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist) had their reps capped Tuesday. Green Bay's final practice report will be issued Wednesday and will reveal whether Wicks or any of the other three wideouts nursing injuries will carry designations into the Thanksgiving Day game. |
