Jordan Love completed 24-of-40 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the Packers' 34-26, Week 15 loss to the Broncos.Love led the Packers to points on every possession in the first half. Three of those drives ended with field goals; their lone touchdown came on a beautifully thrown ball to Josh Jacobs in the end zone, who hauled in a contested catch to give the Packers a 13-7 lead. The Packers found the end zone again on the opening drive of the third quarter, thanks in part to a DPI call on Riley Moss on third-and-four to keep the drive alive. Josh Jacobs would run in a 40-yard touchdown on the following play, but the wheels fell off for Love and the Packers after that. On the Packers' next possession, Love was picked off by Patrick Surtain II on a deep pass to Christian Watson, and threw his second pick of the day to Moss two drives later on a pass that bounced off Dontayvion Wicks' hands. Love and the Packers now head to Chicago for a Week 16 matchup against the Bears. Fantasy managers shouldn't view him as anything more than a high-end QB2 next week.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 15 against the Broncos.Reed and WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are ready to rock against the Broncos this week. Both players are forced to play efficiently thanks to the team's deep receiving corps, but Reed can still be started in the FLEX. Wicks is a bit more volatile, but is capable of making big plays.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (shoulder) was limited on Thursday.Reed is on track to play in a tough matchup against the Broncos this week. The Packers' slot receiver ran a route on 60.0% of the pass plays last week, which was encouraging. Reed is on the FLEX radar once again, though his target volume is likely capped. Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also limited.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.Reed returned from foot and shoulder injuries to play in Week 14, getting four targets on the day. He saw a sizeable role, running over 60 percent of available routes and the Packers will limit is practice workload to start the week. Also limited were fellow wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot). Wicks played through the ankle injury in Week 14 while Williams did not practice all of last week. Reed is still trending to play and is the best receiver out of the three, while Wicks is worth a speculative deep league dart throw and Williams is not fantasy relevant.
Packers activated Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) off injured reserve.Reed was activated, but that doesn't mean the wideout will play in Week 14 against the Bears. The Packers are listening the third-year wideout as questionable for that contest, and there's just as good of chance that he'll return to action in Week 15 as this Sunday. Reed last played in Week 2. If he can actually suit up, he'll knock Dontayvion Wicks out of the top 70, and perhaps render Romeo Doubs and even Christian Watson a bit more volatile.
