Packers RB Josh Jacobs, WR Christian Watson officially Questionable for Week 16

Packers are listing RB Josh Jacobs and WR Christian Watson as questionable for Saturday night’s game in Chicago.

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden

Fantasy Impact:

This is a great sign for Watson, considering how serious the injury looked immediately after the play. With how the Packers rotate all their receivers, Reed would still be in the fantasy conversation, even if Watson returns to the field. Watson himself might be a little more of a stay-away unless he's back to 100% earlier in the week; a "snap count" might be on the horizon for the deep threat.

If Jacobs does suit up, he'll be a must-start, but if he unexpectedly gets ruled out, Wilson will be a nice plug-in as an RB2 option.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Christian Watson is expected to practice today on a limited basis.

“He’s improving. We’ll just see how he’s feeling out there.”

LVN and Dontayvion Wicks also likely to go today in a limited fashion.

The other DNPs yesterday likely still out.

Packers WR Christian Watson avoided major injury

Wide receiver Christian Watson left the game after landing hard on his left side while trying to catch a deep pass from Jordan Love in the third quarter and he was ruled out with a chest injury a short time later. Watson was able to travel back to Green Bay with the team after being evaluated at a Denver hospital.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say the specifics of that evaluation haven’t been shared, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Watson avoided a major injury. The story added it's not clear if that means Watson will be available for Saturday’s road game against the Bears and more information on that front should come from the team on Monday. The early week certainly won't help, but we'll monitor the injury report this week for updates.

Packers WR Jayden Reed needs clearance, WR Matthew Golden could play Week 14

Even though Jayden Reed is back at practice, he still has to be given final medical clearance to play.

Also said Matthew Golden (wrist) could potentially play Sunday vs. CHI.

Fantasy Impact:

LaFleur said: "The plan is to see where he's at by the end of the week," according to the post. Reed should be close as he returned last week and there was some hoped he'd be able to play on Thanksgiving. We may not have a better idea until later this week as far as Reed goes, however. The Packers play in a later Sunday game at home against the Bears, who currently have the top seed in the NFC.
