Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after having his practice window opened to return from Injured Reserve. The 2023 second-round pick has not played since Week 4 after suffering an ankle injury that required surgery. The Packers will now have 21 days to activate him to the roster. Even if Musgrave returns before the regular season wraps up, he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar after the emergence of fellow second-year tight end Tucker Kraft. Kraft was playing more snaps than Musgrave before his injury, so we should expect that to continue into the late quarter of the season. So far this year, Musgrave has totaled just five receptions for 22 yards. That said, his usage will be worth monitoring, and he could make an impact in the NFL postseason.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed put up a donut for his fantasy managers in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday night, which was especially disappointing with Romeo Doubs (concussion) out. Head coach Matt LaFleur insinuated that the Packers will look to get Reed more involved moving forward with specific packages that make sure he touches the football. "Where we can be better, and I talked to Jayden about this, is just making sure we have some of those plays for him in the game plan where he's tagged to go in there and play wideout. Because he's certainly an impactful player," LaFleur said. Reed, one of the team's best playmakers, only played 50% of the snaps on Thursday and was targeted only once. The 24-year-old could get the squeaky-wheel treatment in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he's been boom or bust for fantasy managers all year with one game all year with more than six targets.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday that wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol. Doubs suffered a concussion in the win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12 and has missed the last two contests, but the good news is the 24-year-old pass-catcher has over a week to try and clear the NFL's concussion protocol before the team's Week 15 contest versus the Seattle Seahawks. It's not great news at all that Doubs is still in the concussion protocol, but he shouldn't be ruled out yet from returning this weekend. Doubs has only two touchdowns (both on Oct. 13) and is averaging 48.3 receiving yards per game in his third year with the Packers, making him an inconsistent WR4/flex in fantasy when he's healthy. Dontayvion Wicks has seen the biggest uptick in usage with Doubs out alongside Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Tucker Kraft.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was solid but unspectacular in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions in Week 14. Wicks had extended playing time thanks to Romeo Doubs (concussion) being ruled out and was moderately productive, bringing in 4-of-5 targets for 49 receiving yards. Two of his receptions in back-to-back plays of 28 and 12 yards directly led to great field position where the Packers eventually settled for a game-tying field goal. The Packers will head west to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in Week 15 and if Doubs remains out, Wicks will be a low-end flex option for fantasy managers.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft continued his fine fantasy season as he got into the end zone in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions in Week 14. Kraft caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Love in the third quarter; his only touchdown pass of the night. With only 20 passing attempts, there wasn't much volume to be had by the Packers' pass-catchers, but Kraft reeled 3-of-5 targets for 41 yards. Next up for the Packers is a date with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 where Kraft should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy managers.
