Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the 49ers. The wideout was leading the way on the receiving end before going down with a concussion, so he'll finish the day with three catches for 54 yards. With that said, the Packers have a quick turnaround before meeting the Dolphins on Thanksgiving, meaning Doubts may not have enough time to get healthy. But until he's back on the field, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed will likely be the favorite targets of Jordan Love.
Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has done a nice job for the team over the last few weeks. McManus has only missed one field goal and is perfect on extra point attempts over four games with the Packers. They'll head into a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 12. The Packers aren't expected to blowout the 49ers even with San Francisco having multiple key injuries on offense. McManus should get chances, but this probably won't be a high-scoring back-and-forth affair between the two teams. It's worth noting that a handful of teams are on bye in Week 12, so fantasy managers could be limited on options. McManus isn't a great fantasy option, but he should be viable for this weekend.
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was barely on the field during last week's win over the Chicago Bears. Wilson was limited to seven percent of the offensive snaps and only carried the ball twice for 17 yards in Week 11. Over the last four games, Wilson has seen five or less carries in each game. Wilson remains the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, which means he probably won't see many carries with Jacobs healthy. That being said, Wilson is worth stashing in dynasty leagues, but isn't worth starting in Week 12.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks should be left on all benches in Week 12 when the Packers face the San Francisco 49ers. Wicks has not caught a pass in each of the past two games and has averaged just 2.0 targets during this span. Wicks has only surpassed double-digit PPR points on three occasions this season but fell below 7.0 PPR points in each of the other seven contests. Playing in a crowded Green Bay wide receiver room, Wicks has shown flashes of potential at times but has been unable to see a consistent dose of targets. As a result, fantasy managers in all formats should keep Wicks on their bench. However, managers in deeper formats should continue to stash Wicks on their roster as he could find a path to fantasy stardom if he can find his way toward the top of the depth chart down the stretch.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been a volatile pass-catching option for the Packers but looks to be on the good side of variance as the Packers host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Reed followed up a Week 9 where he had 113 receiving yards with a dud outing after the team's Week 10 bye. With just two receptions and 23 yards, Reed's performance was very disappointing, but at the very least, he did catch a touchdown to soften the blow. Against slot receivers, the 49ers have been incredibly stout, allowing just the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. While Reed is the most dynamic pass-catching weapon the Packers have, he hasn't been immune to the team's offensive struggles. For Week 12, Reed is a low-end WR2 that we know has the upside for much more.
