Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave will go on the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The rookie returned to the field last week after missing the previous six games due to a kidney laceration and is expected to have a significant role this weekend after being left off of the final injury report. Tucker Kraft did an admirable job filling in for Musgrave. However, that role will decrease with the 23-year-old even closer to 100% this weekend. Dallas is not the matchup to capitalize on, though, as they ranked top-five in fantasy points allowed to tight ends this season. With so many mouths to feed in Green Bay, Musgrave will be a risky option in DFS tournaments this weekend.
Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) said the entire point of the Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears was for him to go through the process and have something to build on for the first week of the postseason. In his return from a kidney laceration that knocked him out for six games, Musgrave played only 15 percent of the offensive snaps and caught his only target for an 11-yard gain. He said he felt good and should be fully back this Sunday to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round. The 23-year-old should be more involved on Sunday, but it still might not be enough for DFS gamers to chase him as a low-cost option at the position. The fact that the Packers might have all of their wideouts available for this one, Christian Watson (hamstring) included, is another factor going against Musgrave.
Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) and running back Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) are active for Week 18 versus the Chicago Bears. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction after being activated from injured reserve on Saturday. Musgrave, who was limited in practice all week long, returns from a six-game absence but could have reduced opportunities given how well Tucker Kraft has played lately. Meanwhile, Wilson will likely serve as the Packers' No. 3 running back behind Aaron Jones and Patrick Taylor. Neither Musgrave nor Wilson are on the fantasy radar this week.
Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been activated from the injured reserve ahead of Week 18. This is great news for the Packers as they will get back their rookie tight end before their must-win game against the Chicago Bears. Musgrave has been sidelined since Week 11 due to a lacerated kidney. His return means that fellow tight end Tucker Kraft won't see as much involvement in the offense. Musgrave could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option given how banged up the Packers are on offense. The assumption is that Musgrave will be back to his every-down role.
Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Musgrave remains on Injured Reserve and hasn't played since Week 11 due to a lacerated kidney, but he has been practicing on a limited basis the last two weeks and could be activated from IR on Saturday in order to help the Packers in a must-win game on Sunday at Lambeau Field. The 23-year-old second-rounder had 33 receptions on 45 targets for 341 yards and one touchdown in his first 10 NFL games before getting hurt, but if he is activated and is eligible this weekend, fantasy managers should expect him to be eased into the offense. Fellow rookie Tucker Kraft has been adequate as the team's pass-catching tight end the last six weeks with Musgrave sidelined.
