  Packers | Sammy Watkins released    Mon Dec 19, 11:43 AM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins was released Monday, Dec. 19.

Footballguys view: The former first-round pick (Bills, 2014) might get picked up by a team in need of veteran depth at the wide receiver position. His best days are behind him, and in seven games with the Packers in 2022 Watkins only had 13 catches for 206 yards.

  Packers | Thursday's practice report for Green Bay    Thu Nov 10, 04:55 PM

Green Bay Packers LB Krys Barnes (concussion), LB De'Vondre Campbell (knee), WR Romeo Doubs (ankle), CB Eric Stokes (ankle, knee) and TE Marcedes Lewis (rest) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 10.

WR Christian Watson (concussion) was not given a practice designation.

Footballguys view: It looks like Jones should be able to play. Pencil Lazard in the lineup too, but for both players, we hope to avoid the dreaded game-time decision status in a late afternoon game.

  Packers | Green Bay's Week 8 injury report    Fri Oct 28, 04:28 PM

Green Bay Packers CB Shemar Jean-Charles (ankle) and WR Allen Lazard (shoulder) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. OT David Bakhtiari (knee), OG Elgton Jenkins (knee) and WR Christian Watson (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday, Oct. 28, and are listed as questionable. LB Rashan Gary (concussion) was upgraded to a full practice Friday but is also listed as questionable. QB Aaron Rodgers (thumb) and WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday but no longer appear on the injury report. TE Marcedes Lewis (rest) practiced in full Friday and is expected to be available.

Footballguys view: Lazard will sit this week and might miss a great matchup against the Lions next week. There's no clear play from the Packers passing game outside of Aaron Jones, and Aaron Rodgers is out of consideration as a fantasy play in 1QB leagues facing the rested and fierce Bills defense.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins activated    Sat Oct 22, 01:09 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve on Saturday, Oct. 22, but is listed as questionable for Week 7.

Footballguys view: Watkins is back after missing four weeks on Injured Reserve. He was somewhat effective as a starter over the first two weeks of the season before getting hurt. Watkins might be on a snap count this week if the team chooses to ease him back into action. We'd recommend taking a 'wait and see' approach if you have Watkins on your roster in deeper leagues.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins' Week 7 status up in the air    Fri Oct 21, 01:48 PM

  Packers | Sammy Watkins a possibility for Week 7?    Thu Oct 20, 01:28 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) 'did a nice job in terms of what we asked him to do (in practice)' and appears to have a chance to play in Week 7 versus the Washington Commanders, according to comments made by head coach Matt LaFleur on Thursday, Oct. 20.

Footballguys view: If Watkins plays, there's a chance he could get some targets from QB Aaron Rodgers. While Rodgers is disappointed in his young receivers, he might try to go to a veteran like Watkins more than some think. We'll believe it when we see it, and we're not going to be rushing to put Watkins in our lineups if he does play against the Commanders on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, Oct. 19, opening his 21-day window to be activated.

Footballguys view: The Packers need all the help they can get at the wide receiver position. Watkins is not what he once was, but he can help out the team when ready. We'll see how long it takes for him to be declared active and get back on the field.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins lands on IR    Sat Sep 24, 01:12 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve on Saturday, Sept. 24, due to an unspecified hamstring injury.

Footballguys view: The Packers' wide receiver woes continue. Watkins had six catches in two games, and he is coming off a three-catch, 93-yard performance in Week 2 against the Bears. Now on IR, QB Aaron Rodgers will turn to rookie Christian Watson even more. Allen Lazard remains the team's top wide receiver, but it's not a great group at this time.

Green Bay Packers WRs Allen Lazard (ankle), Christian Watson (hamstring), Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Randall Cobb (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Sept. 22.

Footballguys view: It's not a good look for the Packers' wide receiving corps. However, let's see what happens on Friday and who gets to practice and who doesn't. These wide receivers' availability will determine the fantasy potential of QB Aaron Rodgers in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Stay tuned.

  Packers | Two GB receivers in question for Week 1?    Mon Sep 5, 02:28 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) has come along enough in his recovery from minor knee surgery that he is 'hopeful' for Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Matt LaFleur on Monday, Sept. 5. Conversely, LaFleur was non-committal about the ability of WR Allen Lazard (undisclosed) in the opener. Lazard is the big one here for fantasy purposes - at least for the moment. There were reports Lazard missed practices last week for undisclosed reasons, but it is still too early to get worried about his Week 1 status just yet. In the event Lazard doesn't play, Sammy Watkins and Randall Cobb would likely start, although the most interesting Packer wideout would likely be Romeo Doubs.

Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs need to have their radar up in this Lazard situation. We'll monitor his status during the week of practice. The rookie Doubs has had great news come out about him during training camp and the preseason. He's worth a 'what the heck' flex if Lazard can't go.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins to come off NFI list    Fri Jul 29, 11:33 AM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is expected to be removed from the NFI list Friday, July 29.

Footballguys view: Opinions on Watkins and his fantasy potential are all over the place. Some think he can be the best wide receiver for the Packers, while others think he will disappoint again due to injury. Fantasy football is all about finding 'windows' and if you hit the right window with Watkins, in that high-powered offense, it could pay off for at least a couple of weeks. We like him as a late-round flier or keep him on your waiver wire speed dial if he goes undrafted in more shallow leagues.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins on NFI list    Tue Jul 26, 06:12 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Tuesday, July 26, because of a hamstring injury, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Watkins, who is only due $350,000 guaranteed on his deal, was already no sure thing to make the team. If this issue keeps him out for more than a few days, Watkins and Aaron Rodgers chances to build chemistry in camp will be greatly reduced, and along with it, the chances of Watkins having any impact in fantasy leagues this year.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins set for big role    Wed Jun 8, 02:03 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins is 'going to be a big part of our offense,' head coach Matt LaFleur said on Wednesday, June 8.

Footballguys view: Good luck with that. Watkins was seen as a player on the roster bubble only a couple of months ago, and now he's going to be a big part of their offense. Okay, that's not a great plan. The former first-round pick is no longer the player he used to be. The last time he was fantasy relevant was back in 2017 when he was with the Rams and he finished that season as the no.34 fantasy wide receiver. Since then, Watkins has been in the WR6 to WR9 range.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins not a lock to make roster?    Sat Apr 16, 01:59 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Sammy Watkins could be anything from the team's No. 1 wideout to a 53-man roster cut, in the opinion of The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.

Footballguys view: This was the case as soon as Watkins was added. He signed a one-year deal with the Packers but is far from a lock. Watkins has talent, but he's oft-injured and inconsistent. His last 1,000-yard season (2015) was four teams ago, and expecting him to all of a sudden flourish is a bit misguided. Let's see if he can stay healthy and make the team first.

  Packers | Sammy Watkins set to join Green Bay    Thu Apr 14, 02:19 PM

Free-agent WR Sammy Watkins (Ravens) reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth up to $4 million with the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, April 14.

Footballguys view: Watkins, a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft, still has the speed and playmaking ability to be a no.1 receiver. He could be that for the Packers in 2022...or he could get cut at the end of training camp. Watkins is talented, always has been, but he's injury prone and lacks consistency to his game.
