Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) left the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears early on Sunday and was taken to the hospital. Doubs returned to the locker room after the victory but said on the radio that he was coughing up blood. Head coach Matt LaFleur called Doubs day-to-day ahead of this Sunday's wild-card playoff matchup in Dallas against the Cowboys. We're glad the 23-year-old pass-catcher is OK, but it sounds pretty serious and that he may not be available this weekend. Those playing DFS will want to check on his practice status this week. If he cannot go against Dallas, rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton would step into larger roles. The Packers will also be hoping to get Christian Watson (hamstring) back for the first time since Week 13.
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft caught all three of his targets for a gain of 31 yards during the team's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. Luke Musgrave made his return this week from a kidney injury, and while his snap share was limited, it was enough to hinder the production of Kraft. The wide receiver corps did the majority of the damage through the air this week, leaving few targets for the rookie. Musgrave will see his role increase as he is further removed from the injury, putting Kraft off the fantasy radar for now. Fantasy managers would be wise to look elsewhere when filling their daily fantasy lineups during Wild Card weekend.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton caught five of seven targets for 62 yards and took two carries for 14 yards during the team's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The 24-year-old was the hero of last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings, being the first Packers receiver to go for over 100 yards in a game this season, and was called up to the active roster as a result. With Christian Watson (hamstring) out and Romeo Doubs (chest) leaving the game early due to injury, Melton stepped up once again and put in a solid performance. Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks had better production, but Melton proved that he could be counted on in a starting role when needed. With Watson likely returning next week and the status of Doubs now up in the air, Melton has a chance to see significant snaps again when the Packers take on Dallas. He is a risky but cheap fantasy option in daily fantasy formats.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed caught all four of his targets and gained 112 yards during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The rookie posted the first 100-yard receiving game of his career in Week 18, with the highlight of the night being a 59-yard catch in the fourth quarter that led to a field goal to put the game further out of reach for Chicago. Reed has been a consistent fantasy force since Week 10, putting up double-digit performances in all but one game during that span. Christian Watson (hamstring) should be back next week, but with Romeo Doubs (chest) status now up in the air, Reed will be a popular pickup for those in daily fantasy formats next weekend when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks caught six of seven targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The rookie caught a touchdown in both the second and third quarters, which ended up being the only two end zone drives of the game. Since Week 14, Wicks has seen his role in the offense increase due to the loss of Christian Watson (hamstring), and he has capitalized on his opportunity multiple times. Watson should be good to go next week, but now that Romeo Doubs (chest) status for next week is up in the air, the 22-year-old could be a sneaky flex option for those playing in daily fantasy formats next week when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys.
