Packers WR Jayden Reed is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals with an ankle injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Green Bay lost WR Dontayvion Wicks to a shoulder injury earlier in the game, leaving Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Bo Melton, and Malik Heath at WR. Update: Reed returned later in the second quarter.
Heath appeared to be the Packers' No. 3 receiver with Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs out against the Rams. Heath ran a route on 72 percent of Green Bay's drop backs and played well ahead of Bo Melton. Heath could have some fantasy interest in Week 6 if Watson and Doubs remain sidelined.
Packers WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (suspension) are inactive for today s game vs. the Rams. That leaves Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks as Green Bay s clear top-two WRs. It s unclear exactly how No. 3 WR duties will be divvied between Bo Melton and Malik Heath. They re just fliers in DFS tournaments.
Packers WRs Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (personal) are listed as doubtful for Sunday s game vs. the Rams. So Green Bay is suddenly down two of its top three WRs in terms of playing time so far this season. It s a huge opportunity for WR Dontayvion Wicks, while WR Jayden Reed and TE Tucker Kraft should also pick up extra volume. We re expecting WRs Bo Melton and Malik Heath to split Doubs snaps.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs did not practice on Thursday due to a personal matter, HC Matt LaFleur said. LaFleur added that they're "taking it day by day" as to whether Doubs will play vs. the Rams this weekend. Green Bay, of course, is already likely to be without WR Christian Watson for that one. Doubs' absence would leave some combination of Bo Melton and Malik Heath as the No. 3 WR behind Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.
