NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Packers WR Romeo Doubs was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.
The rookie was injured on the first play against the Lions after catching an 18-yards pass from Aaron Rodgers. Rapoport notes that the injury typically has a 4-6 week time frame but that further tests will be needed. With the fantasy playoffs approaching, fantasy managers can safely drop the 22-year-old rookie. It’s possible he returns at the end of the season, but if the Packers don’t start winning games they could decide to shut it down.
Allen Lazard caught 4-of-10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown serving as Aaron Rodgers #1 WR. Playing through a shoulder injury, Lazard didn’t seem to be at 100 percent, but he was healthy enough to lead the Packers in every meaningful receiving category. He’ll be a strong flex moving forward.
Sammy Watkins played 81% of the snaps and finished with five targets (2nd) – but was a complete liability. He and Aaron Rodgers appear to have zero chemistry. Samori Toure, Christian Watson, and Amari Rodgers all played sparingly.
It’s a mess in Green Bay.
