Packers pass on fifth-year option, instead agree to one-year extension with QB Jordan Love

May 02, 2023

The #Packers have agreed to terms with QB Jordan Love on a new contract through 2024. Hours before the deadline for Green Bay to exercise Love’s option, the sides instead agree to a one-year extension that replaces Love’s existing deal.

Fantasy Impact:

Eight days after shipping Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, the Packers locked in Love for one more year. The team didn't take any of the receivers they were linked with in the first round, but they added a tight end in round two and wide receivers in the second, fifth, and seventh rounds.

If the offensive line can stay healthy, they can easily be a top-10 unit, and Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon are still there as a fantastic one-two punch. Love is clearly still unproven but his infrastructure is probably better than many are giving him credit with.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
