Team news: Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are signing WR Sammy Watkins to a one-year deal.

Related Players: Amari Rodgers, Allen Lazard

Watkins continues to be an injury risk but will be playing with his second legendary quarterback in his career. If Watkins can somehow become relevant with Aaron Rodgers, he could be a steal as a late round flyer.

The Green Bay Packers are re-signing TE Robert Tonyan to a one-year deal.

Tonyan is recovering from a torn ACL and is not expected to have an impact offensively until the middle of the 2022 season.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine that the team has two starting running backs and that AJ Dillon is just "scratching the surface."

Matthew Berry believes the Packers will be a full-blown running back by committee.

The Packers liking two running backs is great for real-life football, but infuriating for fantasy. This will be a backfield to monitor in the offseason to see if LaFleur's comments ring true.

The Green Bay Packers are reportedly re-signing QB Aaron Rodgers to a 4-year, $200 million deal with $153 million guaranteed.

Sell your Jordan Love dynasty stocks, folks. Rodgers is now signed to play into his 40s with the same franchise that drafted him.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (core muscle surgery) was activated from IR.

His return matters with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) doubtful for Saturday. Expect Cobb to run his routes closer to the line of scrimmage in his return with Allen Lazard stretching the field more in the MVS role.

Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) did not practice Wednesday, while RB Aaron Jones (knee) was a full participant.

Valdes-Scantling has been in-and-out of the lineup and the extra time has not helped his back issues. His health is important because it is unlikely that Randall Cobb plays a large chunk of this weekend's divisional game after having core muscle surgery.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that he "would anticipate him (Randall Cobb) playing in this game.”

We all know Cobb's chemistry with Aaron Rodgers, but there is concern with Cobb coming off core muscle surgery getting a lot of action immediately.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is questionable for Week 18 against the Detroit Lions.

There is no reason for Jones to risk more wear and tear on his knee and probably should take the week off.

Packers HC Matt LeFleur told reporters Friday that QB Aaron Rodgers will start Week 18 and will see how the game plays out. “I don’t think he needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going.”
