Fantasy Football Player Notes

Jones still isn't seeing quite the snaps of other running backs in his range fantasy-wise, but it doesn't matter. His absurd performance against the Lions notwithstanding, Jones should be locked in as an RB1 every single week, as he is heavily involved whenever he's on the field and gets the goal-line work. Your buy-low window has slammed shut.

Adams is set to return from his hamstring injury in Week 6's game against the Bucs. He should immediately be considered a top-3 option going forward in rest-of-season rankings.

Rodgers was preposterously good against the Vikings, throwing four touchdown passes and essentially having his way against a poor secondary. Whether this is truly a change in offensive philosophy or just attacking an opponent's weakness remains to be seen - but there is a boatload for Rodgers this year if the Packers continue to attack through the air. Move him up your board into the top-10 until further notice.

Williams offered some occasional standalone value last year, but he was mostly just a slight thorn in Aaron Jones's side and a high-end handcuff. The Packers used a second-round pick on AJ Dillon, and so even were Jones to get injured, Williams would likely have to compete for touches. He'll still factor into the gameplan, but for fantasy purposes, he's unlikely to see significant value under any circumstances this year.

With injuries abound last season, Valdes-Scantling had his opportunities, but couldn't take advantage. Despite playing in all 16 games, he caught just 26 passes and scored two touchdowns. He fell behind Allen Lazard on the depth chart, and with the addition of Devin Funchess, it appeared that Valdes-Scantling wasn't likely to see the field all that much absent an injury. But now, with Funchess opting out, there's at least a plausible, albeit unlikely, path to fantasy-relevance. He's a late-round dart throw, but that's all.

Crosby is coming off the most accurate year of his career (91.7% on field goals, 40-of-41 extra-point attempts converted). But he saw just 24 field goal attempts after seeing 37 the previous year. The Packers offense isn't what it once was, and Crosby spends the majority of his games kicking outside in cold weather. He's a borderline draftable kicker but there's little to get excited about in 2020.

Lazard was having a breakout year, but is now dealing with a core muscle injury which required surgery. His exact timetable isn't known, but expect him to miss several weeks at least. Stash him on IR if you can, but don't be afraid to move on if you're in a roster crunch.
