Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. Dillon hasn't suited up since Week 17 as he continues to deal with multiple injuries. His absence means that Aaron Jones is going to see the bulk of the carries during this game. Jones has a tough matchup against the 49ers defense, but could be worth a look as a DFS option with the Packers shorthanded.
The Green Bay Packers and quarterback Jordan Love are expected to re-engage in contract extension talks during the offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 25-year-old has drastically exceeded expectations in his first season as the Packers' starter, leading them to the Divisional Round of the playoffs while completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 4,159 yards, 36 total touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He will presumably increase his asking price as the result of his big year, but Rapoport expects the two sides to reach an agreement anyway. As it currently stands, Love is under contract through 2024.
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave will go on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers during the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. The rookie made a splash last week on a wide-open catch and run for a score. The catch made headlines all week because of how open Musgrave was, but don't expect the 49ers to leave him all alone in the Divisional Round. San Francisco ranked in the top 10 in points allowed to tight ends this past regular season, but there is a silver lining. The 49ers allowed the 11th-most receptions to the position, meaning Musgrave has a shot at a decent game if he can see enough targets. The Packers receiver room is completely healthy, so there is more competition for targets, but at his price in DFS, Musgrave is not a complete avoid this weekend.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks will go on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. The rookie scored the first passing touchdown of the day last week against the Dallas Cowboys but ended with only two receptions for 25 yards. With all of the Packers' pass catchers back healthy, Wicks' role has diminished. Even in a positive matchup, the 22-year-old is a risky dart throw due to the sheer number of weapons at the Packers' disposal. Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs are all better options in DFS, but Wicks will be in play for the bargain hunters trying to pick sneaky options in tournaments.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will go on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. The second-year receiver had a career outing last week against the Dallas Cowboys, gaining 151 yards on six receptions and scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter to put any hopes of a comeback out of reach. The Packers had all of their receivers back healthy for the first time in a while last week, but it seemed to help Doubs more than hinder him. However, both Christian Watson and Jayden Reed played fewer than 50% of the snaps and should see their roles increase this weekend. Doubs remains a flex option in DFS, but managers should not expect the same outcome as last week with all the mouths that need to be fed in Green Bay.
