Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 18. The 24-year-old signed to the active roster on Wednesday this past week and will be a part of the final wide receiver corps heading into the season finale. It is a well-deserved promotion after Melton went for 105 yards and a score last week against Minnesota. However, his role this Sunday could be minimal. Christian Watson (hamstring) is looking to make his return to the field after being out since Week 14, while rookies Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are also attempting to play after being tagged as questionable. If even two are active on Sunday, Melton's role will likely be nothing more than rotational against Chicago. Fantasy managers should avoid Melton unless all three receivers on the injury report are ruled out for Sunday's game.
The Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Bo Melton from the practice squad to their active 53-man roster on Monday and placed Samori Toure (knee) in a corresponding move. The team also signed safety Tyler Coyle to the practice squad. Green Bay is extremely thin at the receiver position heading into the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears. Christian Watson (hamstring) and rookie Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) did not play in the Sunday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and rookie Jayden Reed (ribs) was injured during the game and is up in the air to play this Sunday. The 24-year-old Melton broke out with six catches for 105 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota and also had four grabs for 44 yards in the Week 16 win over the Carolina Panthers. If Watson, Wicks and Reed all miss Week 18, Melton will be a worthwhile streaming consideration in fantasy leagues.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton caught six of nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown during the team's 33-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The second-year receiver was called up from the practice squad for the second week in a row with Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest/ankle) ruled out, and he delivered with the first 100-yard receiving performance by a Packer this season. Jayden Reed (chest) was on a tear, scoring twice before exiting in the second quarter. Melton's number was then called multiple times, scoring a nine-yard touchdown late in the third quarter and racking up over 50 yards in the final quarter. With Reed's status for Week 18 now up in the air and no timetable for Watson or Wicks to return, expect Melton to be called up once again against Chicago.
