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 HC Matt LaFleur said Thursday that TE Luke Musgrave has a realistic chance to play vs. the Bears this weekend. Musgrave has been out since suffering a lacerated kidney back in Week 11. He's been limited in practice so far this week. We'll see how Musgrave is listed on the final injury report tomorrow. He wouldn't be a Week 18 fantasy option but would put a significant dent in TE Tucker Kraft's value.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) remained sidelined on Wednesday. Interim HC Antonio Pierce said that Jacobs will be a game-time decision for Sunday's finale vs. the Broncos, but we'd be surprised if he played. Look for Zamir White to get another game as Vegas' feature back.

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. It was his first official practice since going down back in Week 13. "My passion is playing football and now it’s looking a lot like I’m going to be able to play some football this Sunday," Watson said. "I’m in a really good spot." We'll keep tabs on Watson's progress over the next few days. He was rolling before this hamstring injury but would be tough to trust in Week 18 fantasy lineups coming off a lengthy absence.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (chest) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. "I feel pretty good," he said afterward. The fact that he was out there at all bodes well for his chances of playing vs. the Bears this weekend. We'll track Reed's progress over the next few days.

Packers WR Jayden Reed's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Bears is "in doubt," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. X-rays on Reed's ribs came back clean, per Rapoport, but Reed is "pretty sore" and is scheduled for additional testing on Monday. We'll keep you updated on the rookie's status. Packers WRs Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest, ankle) missed Week 17 and are uncertain for Week 18.

Packers LB Isaiah McDuffie left Sunday night's win over the Vikings with a concussion. He was filling in for LB De'Vondre Campbell (neck), so we'll see about the status of both players for a Week 18 matchup with the Bears. Green Bay holds the No. 7 position in NFC playoff seeding right now but could still be passed with a loss to Chicago.

Packers WR Jayden Reed is questionable to return to Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings with a chest injury. He's been dealing with this issue since Week 12. Reed had a big first half, catching six of eight targets for 89 yards and two TDs. We'll update his status when we know more.

Update: Reed has been ruled out.

Packers WRs Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest, ankle) are inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Vikings. Jayden Reed is back after missing last week and should lead this WR corps tonight. Romeo Doubs joins Reed as Green Bay’s top two WRs, with Malik Heath, Bo Melton, and Samori Toure behind them.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. Zamir White gets another game as lead back after registering 17-69-1 and 22-145-0 rushing lines the past two weeks.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. So Zamir White will get another game as lead back. He's ripped off 17-69-1 and 22-145-0 rushing lines the past two weeks and is a nice Week 17 fantasy play against Indianapolis' 30th-ranked RB defense.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (toe, chest) put in three limited practices this week and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday night’s game vs. the Vikings. WR Christian Watson (hamstring) is doubtful, while Dontayvion Wicks (chest, ankle) is questionable but didn’t practice all week. It’ll likely be Reed and Romeo Doubs as Green Bay’s clear top two WRs in Minnesota.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) missed practice again on Thursday. We might be looking at another game of Zamir White as lead back against the Colts this weekend. We'll see if Jacobs gets on the field tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Packers WR Jayden Reed (toe, chest) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's an upgrade over last week, when he missed all three practices. We're tentatively expecting Reed back for Sunday night's game vs. the Vikings, but we'll keep you updated on his status. WRs Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. He was limited last Friday but has missed two practices since, so he might have suffered a setback. We'll keep tabs on Jacobs' status over the next few days, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Colts. Zamir White will be in the RB2 mix if Jacobs sits again.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, illness) is inactive for today's game vs. the Chiefs. That leaves the backfield to Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah. See where those guys sit in the Week 16 RB Rankings.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, illness) won't play vs. the Chiefs today, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. That will again leave the backfield to Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah. White racked up 85 total yards and a score on a 70% snap rate last week -- but that came with positive game script in an easy win over the Chargers. The Raiders are 10.5-point underdogs today, so White is at risk of losing more snaps to Abdullah. See our updated projections for the Raiders backfield.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, illness) is a "true game-time decision" for Monday afternoon's meeting with the Chiefs, according to CBS' Tracy Wolfson. Jacobs wound up getting in only a limited practice on Friday this week. We'll look for further updates on his status and get Vegas' inactives around 11:30 am ET tomorrow. Zamir White will get another game as lead back if Jacobs is out.

Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Panthers with a chest injury. He caught both of his targets for 29 yards and a TD before exiting. Green Bay is already without WRs Christian Watson and Jayden Reed today, leaving Romeo Doubs, Bo Melton, and Malik Heath as the top three.

Packers WRs Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe, chest) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is active and should be a near every-down player alongside WR Romeo Doubs. See where the Packers WRs land in the Week 16 Rankings.

11:32am EST 12/24/23

Packers RB A.J. Dillon (thumb) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was limited in practice all week with his broken thumb. It’s unclear how big a role Dillon will be able to play in this one. He shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups. Dillon’s return is just a slight ding against RB Aaron Jones, who remains a solid fantasy starter.
