Green Bay Packers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He was limited in practice all week. "Anytime he's out there, that's encouraging, but again we'll see," HC Matt LaFleur said after Friday's practice. Love is shaping up as a potential game-time decision. We'll get Green Bay's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. QB Malik Willis will get another start if Love can't go.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) remained limited in Thursday's practice. "We'll give him up to game time," HC Matt LaFleur said afterward. We'll see how Love is listed on Friday's final injury report, but it sounds like a decision on his status for this weekend's game against the Vikings won't come until later -- and potentially not until Sunday morning. Vikings-Packers kicks off at 1 pm ET.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited in all three practices last week before missing the Titans game, so this doesn't necessarily tell us anything. But Love seems to be trending toward returning for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings according to multiple reports. We'll keep you updated on his progress over the next few days.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs managed just 43 yards on 14 carries in the Week 3 win over the Titans. Only one of his runs went for more than six yards. Jacobs had another four carries for 39 yards negated by penalties. It was an even more frustrating game for fantasy owners because No. 2 RB Emanuel Wilson ripped off 85 total yards and a TD on 14 total touches. That was only one fewer touch than Jacobs finished with.

Packers TE Tucker Kraft is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Titans with a shoulder injury. He was on this week's injury report with a shoulder, although it's unclear if this is related. We'll update Kraft's status when we know more. His absence will mean a boost in snaps for TE Luke Musgrave.

Update: Kraft returned to the game.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Titans. We’re tentatively expecting him back for next weekend’s divisional game vs. the Vikings but will continue to keep a close eye on his progress. QB Malik Willis gets another start today. The Packers threw just 14 passes vs. 53 runs with Willis at the helm last week. Expect another run-heavy attack today (although probably not that extreme).

ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hear that Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Titans today. Love got in three limited practices this week, and Rapoport confirms that he has a good chance to return in Week 4. We've been projecting Willis to start against Tennessee all week, so there are no changes to our Week 3 Rankings. Expect another run-heavy game plan from Green Bay.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (calf) is not listed on the final Week 3 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He should be ready for his usual role vs. the Titans this weekend, but Reed is only a bankable fantasy play if he gets QB Jordan Love back.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He put in three limited practices this weekend. HC Matt LaFleur hinted Friday that Love still hasn’t been medically cleared to play. We’re still tentatively expecting QB Malik Willis to get another start on Sunday, but we’ll keep you updated on Love’s status.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) "has a chance" to play vs. the Titans this weekend, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. “I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays this week,” a Packers source told Schefter. “It’s definitely day-by-day like he said, and 50-50 at best right now.” Love was officially limited in Wednesday's practice.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. He played through this injury last week, so we're tentatively expecting him to be available for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. But Reed will only be a viable fantasy option if QB Jordan Love makes it back for that one.

Packers QB Jordan Love said Wednesday that he's "hopeful" to play vs. the Titans this weekend, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Love added that he's waiting to see how his injured knee progresses throughout the week.

The Packers are placing RB MarShawn Lloyd on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Colts, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That was Lloyd's debut after missing most of August and Week 1 with hip and hamstring injuries. The rookie is now out another four games. At this point, it's tough to imagine him being a fantasy factor this season, even if RB Josh Jacobs goes down.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd sprained an ankle in Sunday's win over the Colts. He labeled himself "day-to-day," according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, but we'd take that timeline with a grain of salt. The injury came in Lloyd's regular-season debut, after he missed most of August with hip and hamstring injuries. The rookie still has handcuff upside behind RB Josh Jacobs, but he needs to be able to stay on the field.

Reed had a final stat line of two receptions on two targets for only nine yards.. He was Questionable with a Calf/Shin injury, but ultimately played in the game against the Colts. Unfortunately, it resulted in a less than stellar fantasy day with Malik Willis despite Reed lining up all over the formation, including at RB.

Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks breaks out a bit with QB Malik Willis throwing the ball scoring a first half TD. His final stat line was three receptions on four targets for 26 yards and that lone TD.. It is promising that he had a connection with Willis since QB Jordan Love is likely to miss at least two more weeks.

Packers RB Josh Jacobs ended with a final stat line of 32 carries for 151 yards, but no receptions in the game. The offense was put on Jacobs shoulders early running the ball 20 times in the first half for 128 yards. He did have a fumble at the goal line, giving the ball away to the Colts.

Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Colts. The rookie is not a fantasy option in his debut, but we’ll be curious to see how many snaps he plays compared to RB Emanuel Wilson. Lloyd remains the preferred handcuff to Josh Jacobs.

Packers QB Jordan Love (knee) is officially inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He’s reportedly eyeing a Week 5 return. QB Malik Willis, who sports a career 52% completion rate and 5.2 yards per attempt, gets the start today. Expect a run-heavy game plan from Green Bay.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (calf, shin) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He was added to the injury report on Friday, which adds risk to his Week 2 profile. QB Malik Willis’ play is just as big a concern. Reed sits in low-end WR4 territory in the Week 2 Rankings.
