Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Green Bay Packers.
Quarterbacks
Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aaron Rodgers | 567.3 | 368.7 | 4085 | 34.6 | 9.6 | 50.7 | 263.6 | 2.2 | 2.4 | 317.36 |
Since becoming the starter in 2008, Rodgers has missed roughly a half-season twice (2013 and 2017). In the other eight seasons, he has finished as either the QB1 or QB2 in fantasy football seven times. Assuming good health, Rodgers is a virtual lock for a top-two season. The only concern with Rodgers or any quarterback selected early is the lost opportunity to acquire an impact player at a position of greater scarcity/value. Outside of 2-QB or deep leagues, I'm unlikely to draft Rodgers before another owner. | ||||||||||

Running Backs
Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jamaal Williams | 174.3 | 723.3 | 5.9 | 22.1 | 174.6 | 1.5 | 0.2 | 133.79 |
Due to other injuries at running back, only three running backs had more carries than Williams (122) from Week 10 on -- Melvin Gordon (137), Frank Gore (134) and LeSean McCoy (130). That said, Williams averaged only 3.6 yards per carry as a rookie. With Aaron Jones suspended the first two games and Ty Montgomery dealing with a foot injury, Williams will have a chance to pick up where he left off. | ||||||||
Ty Montgomery | 76.2 | 335.3 | 3 | 38.3 | 314.1 | 1.5 | 0.2 | 91.54 |
Before sustaining a Week 4 ribs injury, Montgomery had 59 touches (41 carries and 18 receptions), which was tied for eighth-most over the first three games of the season. Missing half of last season, Montgomery could be used more as a "hybrid player" in 2018, but it also wouldn't be a surprise if he were to get a much larger workload than I currently project. | ||||||||
Aaron Jones | 97.6 | 444.1 | 3.3 | 16.6 | 112.9 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 76.9 |
Jones had a pair of 100-yard games with touchdowns from Weeks 5 to 7 and averaged almost two more yards per carry than Williams (5.5 to 3.6) last season. Unfortunately he'll begin the season serving a two-game suspension, which could allow Williams to potentially run away with the lead-back role. | ||||||||
Aaron Ripkowski | 3.7 | 10.4 | 0.2 | 6.9 | 40 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 7.24 |
Devante Mays | 1.2 | 4.1 | 0 | 0.5 | 2.5 | 0 | 0.3 | 0.06 |

Wide Receivers
Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Davante Adams | 80.7 | 1016.8 | 9.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 159.28 |
With double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons, Adams has produced 149/1,882/22 over the past two years. With Jordy Nelson now in Oakland, Adams will have an opportunity to improve upon his top-12 (or 14th in PPR) 2017 performance as the No. 1 receiver for Aaron Rodgers. | ||||||||
Randall Cobb | 73.5 | 771.8 | 6.6 | 10.7 | 41.7 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 121.35 |
Since exceeding 800-plus yards in his three healthy seasons from 2012 to 2015, Cobb has 600-something yards in back-to-back seasons. Given a secure WR2 role (minus some late-August trade rumors), however, Cobb should bounce back provided that he and Rodgers can stay healthy. | ||||||||
Geronimo Allison | 33.3 | 429.6 | 2.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.6 | 56.76 |
J'Mon Moore | 14.1 | 186.1 | 1.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 26.81 |
Marquez Valdes-Scantling | 3.8 | 57.8 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 7.58 |
Equanimeous St. Brown | 2.9 | 42.1 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 5.81 |
Jake Kumerow | 2.5 | 34.5 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 4.45 |
DeAngelo Yancey | 1.4 | 18.5 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 2.25 |
Trevor Davis | 1.2 | 15.6 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 1.96 |

Tight Ends
Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jimmy Graham | 57 | 598.5 | 7.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.8 | 104.45 |
Even though Graham posted his lowest yardage total (520) since his rookie season and averaged a career-low 9.1 Y/R, the veteran tight end scored 10 touchdowns last season. Playing in the high-powered Packers offense, double-digit touchdowns is possible if Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy all season. | ||||||||
Lance Kendricks | 13.6 | 141.4 | 1.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 21.14 |
Marcedes Lewis | 8 | 96 | 0.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 13.8 |
