Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (calf, shin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Reed was not on the injury report earlier this week but logged a limited session on Friday due to calf and shin injuries. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 24-year-old's status prior to Sunday's game. The Packers are entering this Week 2 matchups with several injuries to their offense, such as quarterback Jordan Love (knee) and No.2 running back MarShawn Lloyd are also listed as questionable. Reed enjoyed a big game in the opening week as he tallied 138 receiving yards and 33 rushing yards with two total scores. If Reed suits up, he will be a solid high-end WR2 in all formats, given his big-play ability.
The Green Bay Packers are officially listing quarterback Jordan Love (knee) as questionable to play in Week 2 at Lambeau Field on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts despite suffering a knee injury in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil last Friday. Love didn't practice all week after suffering an MCL sprain in his knee in the season opener last week, so we'd be pretty surprised if the 25-year-old signal-caller actually suited up. However, the Packers continue to leave the door open for Love to return this week, which has all along seemed unlikely. The good news is he hasn't been placed on Injured Reserve, meaning the Packers think there's a good chance he won't miss more than four games. Malik Willis is the likely starter under center for the Packers on Sunday, which will be a big downgrade for all of Green Bay's offensive skills players.
Green Bay Packers rookie running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) continued to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, according to Jason B. Hirschhorn of NFL.com. The former third-round pick in this year's draft was unable to play in Week 1 and remains questionable heading into Week 2. The USC product suffered a hamstring injury back in August and is still experiencing some lingering limitations. As a result, Emanuel Wilson served as the No. 2 running back in the opener behind Josh Jacobs. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Lloyd's status heading into the weekend. If Lloyd makes his professional debut on Sunday, he should be expected to slot in behind Jacobs and serve as a solid change-of-pace option. He is worth stashing on your bench in deeper formats, as he could play a prominent role in the offense as the season progresses.
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (back) was limited on practice again on Thursday with a back issue. Jacobs was deemed limited on Wednesday as well. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report, as it should clarify any serious injury concerns for Jacobs heading into the weekend. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The 26-year-old saw a heavy workload in the season opener on Friday evening, running the ball 16 times for 84 yards. He also caught two passes for 20 yards. If Jacobs were to be limited at any point during Sunday's game, fantasy managers should expect Emmanuel Wilson to see an uptick in work. However, Jacobs should be locked into all starting lineups as a solid RB2 with upside if he suits up.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) is still the only player on the team's 53-man roster that was not participating in practice on Thursday. Love suffered a Grade 1/2 MCL sprain to his left knee at the tail end of the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Friday in Brazil and has missed the first two practices in Week 2. Head coach Matt LaFleur said the door is open for Love to play this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field, but that feels like a long shot. In a best-case-scenario, the 25-year-old will probably be lucky to miss only a few games. In the meantime, backup Malik Willis is expected to start this Sunday against the Colts, where fantasy managers should expect a much less explosive Packers offense. Fantasy managers should have already made plans to go in another direction at QB with Love unlikely to play in Week 2.
