Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Limited to two catches in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:53 PM
Doubs secured two of three targets for 23 yards and returned two punts for 21 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Doubs' numbers certainly were disappointing from a fantasy perspective, but they were generated within the confines of a modest 14-completion, 139-yard passing day for Jordan Love. The veteran wideout has just 81 combined receiving yards over his last three contests overall, but a Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Lions at Ford Field figures to be a game in which the entire Packers' air attack sees increased usage. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Paces pass catchers in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 4:55 PM
Watson brought in five of seven targets for 49 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Watson set the pace across the board for the Packers' air attack in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a day when Jordan Love completed only 14 passes for 139 yards. Watson arguably boasts the most stable floor of any Green Bay receiver in his team's frequently low-volume passing game for the moment, as he's now recorded 45 receiving yards or more in all five games while logging at least four targets in each contest as well. Watson could be in for his busiest day yet when the Packers visit the Lions for a Thanksgiving Day showdown Thursday. |

Jordan Love Jordan Love Game-manager role in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:24 PM
Love completed 14 of 21 passes for 139 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed three times for 15 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Love's final line underscores how little the Packers were threatened by the Vikings' J.J. McCarthy-led offense in the divisional clash. Love, who Ryan Wood of USA Today reports conceded to having taken "a couple hits" to his shoulder without serious impact, attempted well under 25 passes for the third straight game and eighth time this season overall. The veteran signal-caller also failed to throw a touchdown pass for the third time in four contests, but he figures to have to be much more aggressive in a Thanksgiving Day road showdown against the Lions on Thursday. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Successful with big workload in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:04 PM
Wilson rushed 28 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in both targets for 18 yards in the Packers' 23-6 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Wilson drew the start in place of Josh Jacobs (knee) and handled a workload befitting his sidelined teammate, as the former logged a career-high carry total. Wilson clawed his way to his first career 100-yard game in the process, and he got into the end zone on a pair of one-yard scoring runs in the first and third quarter. Jacobs is likely to be available for a critical road matchup against the Lions on Thanksgiving, but if the latter is held out, the Packers will certainly have confidence in Wilson's ability to handle a lead-back role for a second straight game. |

Emanuel Wilson Emanuel Wilson Slated for leading role with Jacobs out
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:45 AM
Wilson is slated to lead the Packers backfield Sunday versus the Vikings with Josh Jacobs (knee) inactive, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: The decision on Jacobs came down to a pregame warmup, which he didn't pass. Wilson thus will be the top running back for Green Bay in Week 12. In the three contests in which he earned double-digit touches this season, he averaged 12.3 touches for 72.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring one rushing TD. Chris Brooks and practice-squad elevation Pierre Strong are on hand for the snaps that don't go to Wilson. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Suiting up Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:43 AM
Williams (foot) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams was able to play through a foot injury the last two games, and even after sandwiching DNPs around a limited practice Thursday this week, such activity was enough for him to be available to the banged-up Packers receiving corps Week 12. With Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist, inactive) sitting out Sunday, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Williams are the top active WRs for QB Jordan Love. Williams has at least one catch in each of the last four games on his way to a cumulative 6-55-1 line on six targets during that span. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Active in Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:41 AM
Wicks (calf) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Fellow WRs Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) were cleared Friday, and now Wicks and Savion Williams (foot) also are confirmed to be available Week 12. Meanwhile, Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) won't suit up. Wicks thus will be on hand for targets from QB Jordan Love alongside Watson, Doubs and even Williams, but the third-year pro hasn't scored a touchdown or surpassed 50 receiving yards in any of his eight appearances this season. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:38 AM
Golden (shoulder/wrist) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: The Packers cleared three injured wide receivers Friday -- Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) -- and two more Sunday morning in Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot). Meanwhile, Golden won't suit up Week 12, which will mark the second time in the last three games he'll sit out as he tends to a lingering shoulder injury and a new wrist issue. His next chance to play is Thursday at Detroit. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Officially inactive in Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:34 AM
Jacobs (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Jacobs made an early exit from a Week 11 win at the Giants with what he eventually called a bone bruise in his knee and a thigh contusion, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. After opening Week 12 prep with no activity Wednesday, Jacobs followed it up with back-to-back limited practices and entered the weekend as questionable. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that Jacobs was slated to go through a pregame warmup before Green Bay made a decision on his availability, and the team didn't see enough to clear him for Sunday's contest. Emanuel Wilson thus is set to pace the Packers backfield for at least one game, while Chris Brooks and practice-squad elevation Pierre Strong also are on hand for RB reps. Jacobs will turn his focus to a Thanksgiving Day matchup at Detroit. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Not in line to play Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:01 AM
Jacobs (knee) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that Jacobs' availability for Week 12 would come down to a pregame warmup, but even before the running back could partake in one, the Packers seem to be leaning toward giving him the day off due to the bone bruise in his knee and thigh contusion that he sustained last Sunday at the Giants. Green Bay's inactive list will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming Jacobs' name is included, Emanuel Wilson will be lined up to be the team's No. 1 RB, with Chris Brooks and practice-squad elevation Pierre Strong also on hand. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Likely to sit out Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 9:05 AM
Golden (shoulder/wrist) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings but isn't expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: While managing a pair of injuries, Golden was listed as a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday before he was one of three Packers receivers to take a questionable tag into the weekend. Confirmation on Golden's status won't arrive until the Packers post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but the rookie first-round pick looks like he'll wind up being sidelined for the second time in the past three games. When healthy, Golden has occasionally flashed some big-play ability, but with no more than six targets in any of his nine appearances on the season, he hasn't been drawing enough volume to make much of a fantasy impact. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Status Sunday to be game-time call
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 6:07 PM
Jacobs (knee), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against Minnesota, will go through pre-game warmups before Green Bay decides whether he'll be active, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Schefter shares that Jacobs' knee is still "tender" despite the fact that it is structurally sound. It's also important to note that the Packers play again Thursday on Thanksgiving versus Detroit, so the veteran running back will have a short turnaround if he does suit up Sunday. Fantasy managers who roster Jacobs should have a contingency plan in place for at least Week 12 since his status is very much up in the air and probably won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff. |

Pierre Strong Pierre Strong Elevated for Week 12
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 4:05 PM
The Packers elevated Strong from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Strong has been on Green Bay's practice squad since September and was already brought up to the active roster once this season as extra depth in the backfield. The fourth-year pro will be available to play a similar role again for Week 12 if Josh Jacobs is unable to play. |

Jayden Reed Jayden Reed Not returning Sunday
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 4:01 PM
Reed (foot/shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Analysis: The Packers designated Reed for return from injured reserve Friday, and he proceeded to be limited at the ensuing practice. His last appearance occurred Week 2 when he broke his collarbone, which gave him a chance to not only get surgery to address that injury but also the foot issue that he dealt with in training camp. Reed told Mike Spofford of the team's official site after Friday's session that "it felt great just to go back out there with the guys and be able to fly around again. Everything feels great right now. I'm just following the protocol and just waiting for my number to be called. I don't know when I'll be back." Reed's next chance for game action is Thanksgiving Day at Detroit. |

Savion Williams Savion Williams Questionable for Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 3:21 PM
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Among the seven wide receivers listed on the Packers' Week 12 injury report, only Williams and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR) logged exactly one limited practice. Reed was ruled out Friday, and Williams may be the best bet to be inactive among the rest of the group after following a DNP/LP/DNP practice regimen this week. As for the rest of the receiving corps, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) don't carry designations, while Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) are the other two WRs listed as questionable. |

Dontayvion Wicks Dontayvion Wicks Status in question for Sunday
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 3:16 PM
Wicks (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Among seven wide receivers listed on the Packers' Week 12 injury report, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) don't have designations, while Wicks, Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist) and Savion Williams (foot) are listed as questionable, and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR) was ruled out. Wicks' status will be clarified approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available he's mustered just an 18-181-0 line on 30 targets across eight appearances this season. |

Matthew Golden Matthew Golden Questionable for Sunday
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 3:12 PM
Golden (shoulder/wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers' Week 12 injury report was jam-packed with wide receivers, with Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) avoiding designations ahead of the weekend. Meanwhile, Golden, Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) are listed as questionable, and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR) was ruled out. Golden's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's available, the rookie first-round pick has managed to surpass 50 receiving yards three times and hasn't scored a touchdown in nine regular-season appearances as a pro. |

Romeo Doubs Romeo Doubs Set for Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 3:06 PM
Doubs (wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Among Packers wide receivers listed on the injury report this week, Doubs, Christian Watson (knee) and Bo Melton (shoulder) avoided Week 12 designations, Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot) are listed as questionable, and Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder, IR) was ruled out. Doubs has received at least eight targets in five of the past seven contests, posting a 32-378-3 line on 53 targets during that stretch. |

Christian Watson Christian Watson Clear for Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 3:03 PM
Watson (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Packers eventually listed seven wide receivers on their injury report by week's end, but only Watson, Romeo Doubs (wrist) and Bo Melton (shoulder) avoided designations in advance of Week 12 action. The list of those listed as questionable includes Matthew Golden (shoulder/wrist), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (foot), while Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder), who was designated for return from IR and limited at Friday's practice, won't play Sunday. In four appearances since making his season debut with a variety of WR personnel available, Watson has tallied 12 catches (on 17 targets) for 234 yards and two touchdowns. |

Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs Listed as questionable
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 2:52 PM
Jacobs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: Jacobs missed the second half of last week's win over the Giants, but testing Monday revealed nothing more than a contusion, which allowed for a return to limited practice participation Thursday and Friday. Emanuel Wilson will take over as the lead runner if Jacobs ends up inactive ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. An upcoming matchup with the Lions on Thanksgiving Day could influence Green Bay's decision on Jacobs, though both games are crucial if the Packers hope to win the NFC North and not just fight for a wild card. |
