Jace Sternberger

There's a very realistic chance that Sternberger finishes the year second on this team in targets. The Packers appear to be heading towards heavy 12-personnel and Sternberger is never going to come off the field. Adams will see 160+ targets this season, but the ball has to go somewhere else, right? Sternberger's a fine dart throw at the TE position and he has the talent to maximize on his opportunity. If you don't end up drafting him in a deep league, make sure to keep an eye on him on your waiver wire.

Jace Sternberger placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

Packers 2nd-year TE Jace Sternberger has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Fantasy Impact

This doesn’t mean Sternberger tested positive, but it does mean he’s been around someone who has and he’s at least a risk to carry it to someone else. When he’s healthy, he’ll be able to come off the list. It’s unknown at this time how long he’ll remain “out” for. Sternberger will need as many reps as possible in just his second season in Green Bay if he plans to take the place of veteran TE Jimmy Graham, who departed for Chicago in free agency. The Packers other tight ends are veteran Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan, and rookie Josiah Deguara. Lewis would figure you see the bulk of passing-down work with Sternberger on the sidelines.
