Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (calf, shin) is officially active for Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Still, as the weekend progressed, Reed was trending toward playing. Indeed, he'll suit up on Sunday. Unfortunately for Reed and his fantasy managers, the Packers have ruled out quarterback Jordan Love (knee), which means Malik Willis will get the start at quarterback. It's unclear whether Willis is capable of supporting steady fantasy production from his playmakers, which means Reed drops to the WR3/FLEX tier in most leagues this week. He can still get involved in the rushing attack and break off big plays, but it's hard to envision him replicating his 138 receiving yards from the season opener.
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson was the primary backup behind Josh Jacobs during the season opener. The 25-year-old did well as he rushed for 46 yards on four yards with two receptions as well. It was a decent outing given his fairly small workload, which could be reduced even more in Week 2. Fellow back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is expected to suit up against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. He figures to be in the mix as well behind Jacobs, which means there probably won't be much fantasy value from Wilson or Lloyd. Both backs are going to play second fiddle to Jacobs who is the workhorse back in Green Bay. The other two backs could be worth stashing in deep leagues, but they aren't worth starting right now.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) has already been ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. This comes as no surprise after Love suffered an MCL sprain during the final moments of the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Packers haven't placed Love on the injured reserve as they only expect him to miss a few weeks. The young signal-caller is reportedly targeting a return in Week 5. It looks like the Packers will still need to get through a few games before Love is ready to play again. That being said, Malik Willis will suit up for Week 2 and figures to remain the starter until Love returns. If he struggles, the Packers could turn to Sean Clifford or bring in a quarterback from outside the organization. However, it seems unlikely that the Packers would bring in another legitimate QB with Love only missing a few weeks. For now, Willis will start under center and he can be avoided in most fantasy formats.
Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite that, Lloyd is expected to suit up and make his NFL debut. This same hamstring issue held him out during the season opener, but it appears Lloyd is feeling better now. He figures to serve as the primary backup to Josh Jacobs. His workload is unknown, but he should at least be involved in the rushing attack. The rookie back isn't worth starting while Jacobs is healthy, but he should be rostered in all dynasty leagues and stashed in deep leagues.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (calf, shin) is expected to suit up against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 24-year-old is coming off a phenomenal season opener in which he totaled 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Unfortunately, Reed's value takes a significant step back this week with Malik Willis filling in for Jordan Love (knee). Reed is still the Packers' top receiver, but he's merely a WR3/FLEX play on Sunday.
