Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis was thrust into the spotlight after Jordan Love (knee) was ruled out after hurting his knee during the final moments of Green Bay's Week 1 loss. In the Week 2 victory against the Colts, Willis completed 12-of-14 pass attempts for 122 yards and a touchdown pass to Dontayvion Wicks in the first quarter. Willis also added 41 rushing yards on six carries without any turnovers in the victory. While this performance was unexpected considering his career arc to this point, head coach Matt LaFleur had a masterful game plan to not put too much on Willis' plate and lean on the run heavily, with 14 pass attempts to 53 rushing attempts in the game. Willis and the Packers travel to Tennessee to play the Titans in Week 3. For fantasy purposes, Willis should be considered a low-end QB2 for that matchup.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was a busy man during the Packers' 16-10 win against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Jacobs rushed for 151 yards on 32 carries as the Packers leaned heavily on the run with Jordan Love (knee) ruled out for Week 2 and Malik Willis starting in Love's place. A fumble near the end zone in the middle of the second quarter cost Jacobs a chance to add a touchdown to his ledger. Jacobs has averaged 24 carries in his two games thus far in 2024 for a robust 4.9 yards per carry, so this new change in scenery for the 26-year-old back may have been just what the doctor ordered. The Packers will travel to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans, where Jacobs will be a low-end RB1 in fantasy no matter who is under center for Green Bay.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts and is officially questionable to return. He was making his NFL debut this week after missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury. At the time of his departure, he had 15 rushing yards and three receiving yards. Emanuel Wilson will serve as the primary backup to Josh Jacobs for the duration of Lloyd's absence.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Green Bay technically left the door open for him to play by listing him as doubtful, but it was always clear that he wasn't going to suit up. The talented, young quarterback injured his MCL late in the season opener against Philadelphia and is expected to miss roughly three games, giving him a Week 5 return date. Until then, Malik Willis will quarterback the Packers. He has yet to prove himself as a capable starting quarterback in the NFL, which means fantasy managers should temper expectations for the Packers and their playmakers, including Josh Jacobs, Jayden Reed, and Christian Watson.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction throughout the weekend. As Lloyd makes his NFL debut, he could steal some touches from backup Emanuel Wilson. Both backs are expected to touch the ball Sunday despite operating behind Josh Jacobs. In fact, Green Bay could have a heavy dependence on its rushing attack with Malik Willis starting in place of the injured Jordan Love (knee). If the Packers want to keep the clock ticking and reduce the chances of a Willis turnover, we could see a lot of opportunities for Jacobs with Lloyd and Wilson each getting at least a handful of touches, too. Still, Lloyd is not an appealing redraft option and can be left on the bench in most dynasty leagues, too.
