Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught four of six targets for 83 yards during the team's 21-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. After an up-and-down regular season, the second-year receiver showed up in the playoffs, gaining 234 yards on 10 receptions and being a favorite target for quarterback Jordan Love. The Packers have a number of impressive rookie wide receivers that showed up this season and plenty of mouths to feed around the entire offense, including 2022 first-round draft selection Christian Watson. Doubs will always face stiff competition for targets, but it speaks volumes that when everyone was healthy during this playoff run, he was one of his quarterback's favorite targets.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 21 of 34 passes for 194 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, adding five carries for three yards during the team's 21-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old kept the pressure on the No. 1 seeded 49ers until the game's final minute, where he tossed a game-ending interception. While Love was not incredible in the box score Saturday night, it does not take away from his fantastic season as a first-year starter. No one gave the Packers a shot to do much of anything this year, and they took one of the top three teams in the league to the limit in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. After finishing as a top-10 fantasy quarterback and a strong end to the regular season, Love will be one of the most interesting quarterbacks to watch in terms of draft value heading into the 2024 regular season.
Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. Dillon hasn't suited up since Week 17 as he continues to deal with multiple injuries. His absence means that Aaron Jones is going to see the bulk of the carries during this game. Jones has a tough matchup against the 49ers defense, but could be worth a look as a DFS option with the Packers shorthanded.
The Green Bay Packers and quarterback Jordan Love are expected to re-engage in contract extension talks during the offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 25-year-old has drastically exceeded expectations in his first season as the Packers' starter, leading them to the Divisional Round of the playoffs while completing 64.2 percent of his passes for 4,159 yards, 36 total touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He will presumably increase his asking price as the result of his big year, but Rapoport expects the two sides to reach an agreement anyway. As it currently stands, Love is under contract through 2024.
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave will go on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers during the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. The rookie made a splash last week on a wide-open catch and run for a score. The catch made headlines all week because of how open Musgrave was, but don't expect the 49ers to leave him all alone in the Divisional Round. San Francisco ranked in the top 10 in points allowed to tight ends this past regular season, but there is a silver lining. The 49ers allowed the 11th-most receptions to the position, meaning Musgrave has a shot at a decent game if he can see enough targets. The Packers receiver room is completely healthy, so there is more competition for targets, but at his price in DFS, Musgrave is not a complete avoid this weekend.
