Fantasy Football Player Notes

2025 Draft Rankings

Josh Jacobs Note

With Jordan Love dinged up last year, the passing game weapons falling flat, and MarShawn Lloyd unable to stay healthy, Jacobs became a volume hog and the engine of the Packers' offense. Last year, Jacobs ranked eighth in weighted opportunities, sixth in carries, and fifth in red zone touches. In 2024, the Packers ranked fifth in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns. Jacobs also had solid showings in tackle-breaking metrics, ranking 14th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 19th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Jacobs was the RB8 in fantasy points per game. If Lloyd can stay healthy this year, he could make some noise in this backfield, but it will most likely remain Jacobs' show in 2025 as a low-end RB1.

Jayden Reed Note

Jayden Reed flashed big-play upside in 2024, posting two games with 138+ yards early in the season and finishing as fantasy's WR26 overall (WR38 in ppg). However, his slot-only usage capped his opportunity - with just 68% route participation (71st among WRs) and only 4.4 targets per game. Despite the limited volume, Reed remained efficient, ranking 19th in yards per route run (2.2), and has led Green Bay in receptions and yards for two straight seasons. Even after the team drafted Matthew Golden in Round 1, Reed is still viewed internally as the pseudo-WR1. In an offense that spreads the ball around, his ceiling may be capped, but a bump in target share could lead to Reed smashing his ADP in 2025.

Tucker Kraft Note

Kraft broke out in 2024 leading all tight ends in yards after the catch per reception (8.8) with an eye-popping 15 missed tackles. The Packers tight end ran away with the starting job over Luke Musgrave and never looked back finishing as the TE8 overall and 10th in points per game (8.3). He ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks (7th-most).
The Packers passing game never fully got unlocked with Jordan Love constantly banged up, but this receiving corps is wide open for somebody to step up. Especially with Christian Watson suffering a torn ACL injury late in the year.
Head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed at the end of the season -100%- that Kraft has the potential to be a George Kittle or Travis Kelce type of player.
I might have already found "my guy" for tight ends in 2025.

Jordan Love Note
Jordan Love photo 99. Jordan Love QB - (at MIN)
The Packers QB struggled to stay healthy in 2024, finishing as the QB17 overall in 15 games played. He was the QB19 in points per game (15.7) as he failed to hit both his passing and rushing numbers from 2023. The Packers' offense went extremely heavy towards the run and that limited Love's fantasy upside.
Presuming better health in 2025, the Packers QB should enjoy better statistics. But without a true No. 1 WR and reliable rushing, he'll need a lot to fall in his favor to back to mid-range QB1 status.

Matthew Golden Note
Matthew Golden photo 127. Matthew Golden WR - (at MIN)
The Packers made a forward-thinking move by drafting Matthew Golden in Round 1, adding speed (4.29 40-yard dash) and depth to a wide receiver room full of question marks. With Christian Watson's injury history and Romeo Doubs in a contract year following multiple concussions, Golden brings much-needed insurance, but he may not be fantasy-relevant right away. Despite a productive final season at Texas, Golden never topped 1,000 yards or posted a high dominator rating in college, and he enters a crowded WR committee in a scheme that avoids funneling targets to one player. Golden's likely to have splash plays and spike weeks, but consistent volume may be elusive unless injuries strike.

Romeo Doubs Note

Romeo Doubs enters the final year of his rookie deal after a concussion-plagued 2024 season in which he finished as the WR57 overall (WR51 per game). Despite leading the Packers in routes per game and target share (19%), his fantasy impact remained limited. With first-round rookie Matthew Golden now in the mix and likely to compete for Doubs' reps, his role is under threat - especially given the overlap in usage. At best, Doubs profiles as a touchdown-dependent WR3/flex play.

MarShawn Lloyd Note

Lloyd lost nearly his entire rookie season to injuries. First, he dealt with a hamstring strain during training camp and the preseason. That was followed by an ankle sprain in Week 2 and surgery to treat appendicitis after that. It was an unfortunate and insane runout for the former third-round pick out of USC. Don't forget Lloyd is a ridiculously talented player who ranked 16th and 20th in yards after contact per attempt and fourth and 15th in elusive rating across his final two collegiate seasons (per PFF). The Packers didn't add anyone to the backfield in the draft. Lloyd should be considered the favorite for the RB2/handcuff spot on the depth chart for Green Bay behind Josh Jacobs. We'll see how much of a stand-alone role he has this season, but his handcuff value alone is solid.

Dontayvion Wicks Note
Dontayvion Wicks photo 191. Dontayvion Wicks WR - (at MIN)
Dontayvion Wicks entered 2024 as a trendy breakout pick but fell flat, finishing 87th in fantasy points per game (5.4) despite leading the Packers in targets. He repeated his 39-catch total from his rookie season, but his efficiency collapsed - dropping to 1.41 yards per route run (74th) after nearly 2.0 as a rookie. Drops (9) and underwhelming production plagued a season where he still posted a strong 29% target rate per route and ranked 4th in ESPN's Open Score. The Packers' selection of first-round WR Matthew Golden casts doubt on Wicks' short/long-term role, especially with Christian Watson's absence opening up competition. As a former Day 3 pick, Wicks is running out of chances to secure a consistent spot.
