According to head coach Matt LaFleur, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) could play against the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football. "He has progressed to the point where he could possibly play vs. Detroit on Thursday." Rob Demovsky of ESPN notes that Doubs is still in the league's protocol, although there is optimism since he has practiced the last two days. The Nevada product leads all Packers' receivers in snaps despite missing two complete games. If he can suit up, he'd be a boon against a Detroit defense exploitable by fantasy wide receivers, serving up the fourth-most points to the position (39.9). If he can't, expect teammate Dontayvion Wicks to fill in for him again, as he played a substantial 89% of snaps in their Thanksgiving win over the Miami Dolphins.UPDATE: Doubs was officially limited in Monday's practice.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) was seen at practice on Sunday after suffering a concussion last week against the 49ers. This is a good sign in terms of his availability for their Week 14 matchup against the Detroit Lions. So far this season, Doubs has amassed 34 receptions for 483 yards and two touchdowns. If he's able to suit up, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed will have to split some more targets between the three of them.
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus was perfect, making every kick for the Packers as the team handled the Miami Dolphins 30-17. McManus was busy on the night as he booted a 46-yard field goal to end the first half and then chipped in with two more field goals from 24 and 33 yards. On point-after attempts, McManus was perfect yet again, nailing all three extra points on the night. With the Packers heading east to Detroit to take on the Lions, McManus should have plenty of opportunities for the Packers, so consider him a solid streaming candidate for fantasy at kicker.
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was involved plenty in the Packers' passing game as the team beat the Miami Dolphins 30-17 on Thanksgiving night. Kraft's penchant for gaining and earning volume was on full display as he earned seven targets, catching six of them for 78 yards; all team-highs on the night. Running hot and cold for fantasy purposes, this was the rare game where Kraft put up a usable stat line without scoring a touchdown, so this game could be some growth in Kraft's role moving forward. Looking at Kraft's next matchup in Detroit against the rival Lions, he should be considered a low-end TE1 for fantasy purposes.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson brought in a couple of big plays in Green Bay's 30-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night. Watson put Week 12's blanking behind him as he caught two of his four targets on the night for 67 yards; the first being a 21-yard grab that set up Jayden Reed's second touchdown, and his other catch being a 46-yard snag in third quarter that helped set up a field goal. We know Watson is always a threat to bring in a big play, but his role in the offense is very boom-or-bust for fantasy purposes. Watson's next game will be in Detroit against the Lions, and he should be considered a low-end flex play for that matchup.
