QUARTERBACKS

Jordan Love543.1344.93937.522.2715.4855.8181.41.67243.78
Sean Clifford34.721.5239.41.320.875.612.60.0614.74

Jordan Love: Both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers created (what many would describe as unnecessary) drama towards the tail end of their Packer tenures, but they also provided the franchise with tremendous stability at the position for three decades. Packers coach Matt LaFleur has talked up Love's "complete command" of Green Bay's offense, but growing pains should be expected as the franchise transitions to its next era. The team loaded up on several Day 2 pass catchers (Luke Musgrave, Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft, etc.) in the draft to help support his long-term growth.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Aaron Jones178.58304.9152.8409.32.8196.59
A.J. Dillon163.6703.54.9133254.81.1148.39
Emanuel Wilson33.5144.10.841.612.50.122.1

Aaron Jones: Before last season, Jones had three consecutive seasons with double-digit touchdowns. That said, he set career highs in rushing yards (1,121) and receptions (59) in 2022. Transitioning from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love adds some uncertainty, but Jones has 47-plus receptions in four consecutive seasons and 1,459-plus YFS in three of his past four seasons. Jones is undervalued heading into the 2023 season.

A.J. Dillon: Whether fantasy managers roster Jones or not, Dillon has stand-alone fantasy value and has finished as a top-30 fantasy running back in back-to-back seasons. During that span, Dillon has 435 touches including 62 receptions on 80 targets for 2,092 yards from scrimmage and 14 total touchdowns.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Christian Watson71.1996.25.77.156.80.57178.47
Romeo Doubs53.9678.73.7000117.02
Jayden Reed52645.33.62.214.30.11114.22

Samori Toure9121.10.700020.81
Malik Heath3.339.70.20006.82

Christian Watson: Watson missed three of the team's first nine games, and he played more than one-third of the team's offensive snaps in only one game (Week 1) during that stretch. From Weeks 10-18, however, Watson racked up 31/523/7 on 52 targets over eight games and added 61 rushing yards and a score. He was fantasy's WR7 during that span.

Romeo Doubs: Doubs missed four games in 2022, but the fourth-rounder finished his rookie season with 42 catches for 425 yards and three touchdowns. As he competes with second-round rookie Jayden Reed for targets behind Watson, Doubs has the upside to outperform his current ADP.

TIGHT ENDS

Luke Musgrave36.6415.62.300073.66
Tucker Kraft23.4261.11.500046.81
Josiah Deguara10.3102.30.600018.98

Luke Musgrave: With Robert Tonyan now in Chicago, it will be a pair of rookie tight ends — Musgrave and Tucker Kraft — that top the depth chart. Musgrave is an extremely athletic tight end that can be used to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties.

Green Bay Packers 2022 Fantasy Football Projections

Our 2022 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2022 fantasy football projections for the Green Bay Packers.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints

Jordan Love33.520.1237.91.341.018.318.70.0815.21

Aaron Rodgers: While the reigning NFL MVP is back in Green Bay in 2022, the team's top playmaker isn't. Rodgers finished last season as fantasy's QB5, but Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins won't make up for the loss of a difference maker like Davante Adams (and Marquez Valdez-Scantling).

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Aaron Jones182.8840.96.8650.4399.84214.43
A.J. Dillon170.8760.15.5531.82752.8169.51
Kylin Hill8.3340.171.712.70.17.14
Patrick Taylor7.9320.161.310.60.16.47

Aaron Jones: A career-low four rushing touchdowns combined with a career-high six receiving touchdowns last season extended Jones' streak of double-digit touchdowns to three seasons. That said, Jones set three-year lows in touches (223), scrimmage yards (1,190) and touchdowns (10) in 2021. Even so, Jones still finished as a top-12 fantasy running back last season after a pair of top-five seasons the two years before.

A.J. Dillon: With Jamaal Williams off to Detroit, Dillon finished as fantasy's RB23 in half-PPR scoring formats in 2021. While he played two more games than Jones, his touches (221) and scrimmage yards (1,116) were nearly identical to Jones (223, 1,190) last season. Matt LaFleur recently referred to Jones and Dillon as "1A and 1A."

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Allen Lazard57.1746.66.23.129.50.09143.9

Amari Rodgers14.4167.11.12.116.80.0632.55
Samori Toure0.910.60.10002.11

Allen Lazard: Lazard set career highs in receptions (40), yards (513) and touchdowns (eight) in 2021. While he has missed eight games over the past two seasons, he'll easily set new career highs in catches and yards as long as his health cooperates in 2022.

Christian Watson: The son of a former NFL safety, Watson makes the jump from the FCS to catching passes from Aaron Rodgers. Watson's combination of size (6' 4", 208 pounds) and speed (4.36 40-yard dash) is intriguing and he has the potential to emerge as a more useful fantasy option as the season progresses.

Romeo Doubs: A fourth-round pick out of Nevada, Doubs has impressed early in training camp, as ESPN's Rob Demovsky writes the rookie "looks NFL-ready" and was "star" early on in training camp practices. In addition, Aaron Rodgers talked about how expectations are "not going to be the standard for a normal rookie" with Doubs. There is an opportunity for Doubs to considerably exceed expectations as a rookie.

Josiah Deguara9.495.20.700018.42
Tyler Davis1.110.60.10002.21

Robert Tonyan: Missing more than half of 2021, Tonyan's per-game targets remained nearly identical compared to 2020. That said, his catch rate plummeted from 88.1% (2020) to 62.1% (2021) and touchdown regression hit hard. After scoring 11 times (1 TD per 4.7 receptions) in 2020, he converted only two of his 18 catches into touchdowns last season. Given that Davante Adams is now in Vegas, there is some upside from his mid-tier TE2 ADP.

Jordan Love36.322259.51.491.0913.433.50.1318.29

Aaron Rodgers: While "his future [was] in Jeopardy," the offseason drama between Rodgers and the Packers front office is now fortunately behind us (at least until next offseason). The reigning and three-time MVP, Rodgers led the NFL in completion percentage (70.7%), passing touchdowns (48, 9.1%) and passer rating (121.5) last season. All of those were either career highs or the second-best of his Hall-of-Famer career. That said, it would be unrealistic to expect him to duplicate last year's 9.1 TD%, nearly double his rate from 2019 (4.6%) and much higher than his career average (6.3%).

Kylin Hill22.395.90.52.418.70.116.26

Aaron Jones: One year after leading the NFL in touchdowns (19, 2019), Jones averaged a career-high 5.89 yards per touch for the league's top-scoring offense. Through four NFL seasons, Jones has averaged at least 5.5 yards per carry in three of them. Even though he missed two games and scored eight fewer touchdowns in 2020, he has finished as a top-five fantasy running back in consecutive seasons.

A.J. Dillon: With 21/124/2 against the Titans in Week 16, fantasy managers got a glimpse of what Dillon could do in a lead-back role. With Aaron Jones re-upping with the Packers, however, that won't happen as long as Jones is on the field. Unlike Jamaal Williams, who's now in Detroit, Dillon isn't much of a receiver out of the backfield, but his upside is through the roof if Jones were to miss any time.

Malik Taylor1.8210.20004.2

Davante Adams: Not only did Adams miss two games in 2020, but he has missed multiple games in three of his past four seasons. Even so, the seven-year veteran led the NFL in receiving touchdowns (18) and yards per game (98.1) and also set a career high in receptions (115). With double-digit touchdowns in four of five seasons, Adams has a total of 58 scores in 71 games over that span. With Aaron Rodgers still playing at an MVP level, Adams moves back into the WR1 spot with the Rodgers drama behind us.

Randall Cobb: Naturally, Cobb is excited to reunite with Rodgers and the Packers. In his previous three seasons in Green Bay, however, Cobb averaged only 46.9 (2016), 43.5 (2017) and 42.6 (2018), respectively. That said, he's likely to rank second behind Adams among the team's receivers in target share.

Allen Lazard: Even if Lazard emerges as the team's second-most productive fantasy receiver after Davante Adams, he's unlikely to be a consistent fantasy performer.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: A big play waiting to happen, Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in Y/R (20.9) last season and had a career high in yards (690) and touchdowns (six). On the other hand, MVS had five games with no catches and two games with only one catch despite Rodgers playing at an MVP level. Fantasy managers should expect some boom and bust weeks from MVS.

Amari Rodgers: Earlier this offseason, The Athletic's Matt Schneidman dubbed Rodgers as the team's breakout candidate for 2021. Coincidentally, Tee Martin (Rodgers' father) coached former (and again current) Packer receiver Randall Cobb at Kentucky. With Cobb returning to Green Bay, that almost certainly postpones that breakout until 2022.

Robert Tonyan: Entering 2020 with only 14 career receptions, Tonyan nearly scored as many touchdowns (12 counting the playoffs) as he had career receptions prior to last season. While teammate Davante Adams led the NFL with 18 touchdown receptions, Tonyan's 11 regular-season scores tied a position high with Travis Kelce.

That said, he's likely to rank second behind Adams among the team's receivers in target share.

Allen Lazard: After Adams, there are a number of receivers that could emerge as the team's second-most productive fantasy wide receiver. Unfortunately, Lazard (or whomever performs as the team's WR2) is unlikely to be a consistent fantasy performer.

Fantasy managers should expect more week-to-week inconsistency from MVS, but he's certain to have a couple of big games in 2021.

Amari Rodgers: Earlier this offseason, The Athletic's Matt Schneidman dubbed Rodgers as the team's breakout candidate for 2021. Coincidentally, Tee Martin (Rodgers' father) coached former (and again current) Packer receiver Randall Cobb at Kentucky. With Cobb returning to Green Bay, it puts a dent into Rodgers' 2021 role.

Robert Tonyan: Entering 2020 with only 14 career receptions, Tonyan nearly scored as many touchdowns (12 counting the playoffs) as he had career receptions prior to last season. While teammate Davante Adams led the NFL with 18 touchdown receptions, Tonyan's 11 regular-season scores tied a position high with Travis Kelce.

QUARTERBACKS

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Aaron Rodgers568.7378.24435.933.275.6940.2160.81.91326.68
Jordan Love36.322259.51.491.0913.433.50.1318.29

Aaron Rodgers: While "his future [was] in Jeopardy," the offseason drama between Rodgers and the Packers front office is now fortunately behind us. The reigning and three-time MVP, Rodgers led the NFL in completion percentage (70.7%), passing touchdowns (48, 9.1%) and passer rating (121.5) last season. All of those were either career highs or the second-best of his Hall-of-Famer career.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Aaron Jones223.31049.59.8358.4511.83.5265.31
A.J. Dillon127.3560.15.2813.493.90.8108.58
Dexter Williams29123.30.732.621.10.221.32
Kylin Hill2.29.50.05170.13.05

Aaron Jones: One year after leading the NFL in touchdowns (19, 2019), Jones averaged a career-high 5.89 yards per touch for the league's top-scoring offense. Even though he missed two games and scored eight fewer touchdowns in 2020, he has finished as a top-five fantasy running back in consecutive seasons.

A.J. Dillon: With 21/124/2 against the Titans in Week 16, fantasy managers got a glimpse of what Dillon could do in a lead-back role. With Aaron Jones re-upping with the Packers, however, that won't happen as long as Jones is on the field. Unlike Jamaal Williams, who's now in Detroit, Dillon isn't much of a receiver out of the backfield, which lowers his fantasy floor.

WIDE RECEIVERS

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints

Devin Funchess4.6610.600012
Equanimeous St. Brown2.432.90.30006.29
Malik Taylor0.89.40.10001.94

Davante Adams: Not only did Adams miss two games in 2020, but he has missed multiple games in three of his past four seasons. Even so, the seven-year veteran led the NFL in receiving touchdowns (18) and yards per game (98.1) and also set a career high in receptions (115). With double-digit touchdowns in four of five seasons, Adams has a total of 58 scores in 71 games over that span. With Aaron Rodgers still playing at an MVP level, Adams moves back into the WR1 spot with the Rodgers drama behind us.

Allen Lazard: After Adams, there are a number of receivers that could emerge as the team's second-most productive fantasy wide receiver. Unfortunately, Lazard (or whomever performs as the team's WR2) is unlikely to be a consistent fantasy performer.

Randall Cobb: Naturally, Cobb is excited to reunite with Rodgers and the Packers.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling: A big play waiting to happen, Valdes-Scantling led the NFL in Y/R (20.9) last season and had a career high in yards (690) and touchdowns (six). MVS had five games with no catches and two games with only one catch despite Rodgers playing at an MVP level.

Amari Rodgers: The Athletic's Matt Schneidman dubbed Rodgers as the team's breakout candidate for 2021. Coincidentally, Tee Martin (Rodgers' father) coached former (and again current) Packer receiver Randall Cobb at Kentucky.

Green Bay Packers 2020 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2020 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2020 fantasy football projections for the Green Bay Packers.

QUARTERBACKS


PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Aaron Rodgers530.5348.83952.226.265.0443.5182.71.74281.76
The days of Aaron Rodgers being a perennial top-two performer are over. Since taking over from Brett Favre in 2008, Rodgers has finished as the QB1 or QB2 in seven of his first eight full seasons. In his two most recent campaigns, however, the future first-ballot HOFer has finished as fantasy's QB6 and QB9, respectively. In a draft loaded with wide receiver talent, the Packers brass failed to add any help for Rodgers and free-agent addition Devin Funchess has opted opt due to COVID-19 concerns.
Jordan Love30.918.8222.51.311.054.113.90.0613.79

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Aaron Jones205.2933.78.2142.4356.22.12190.97
Missing four games apiece in his first two seasons, Jones played a full 16-game slate and delivered for fantasy owners as only Christian McCaffrey scored more fantasy points at the position in 2019. While Jamaal Williams remained involved, Jones racked up 1,558 scrimmage yards and scored a whopping 19 total touchdowns. Instead of drafting help for Aaron Rodgers and the passing offense, the Packers invested a high pick (second-rounder) in a 247-pound running back that will likely steal a few (especially valuable goal-line) carries from Jones.
Jamaal Williams74.6313.31.3127.4208.21.7870.69
Williams has averaged only 4.67 yards per touch over his three-year career. While he played just 35% of Green Bay's offensive snaps last season, Williams finished as a top-36 fantasy running back (flex range) in 2019.
A.J. Dillon80.8351.53.646.443.50.1362.12
Jones finished as fantasy's RB2 last season and is clearly the RB to own in Green Bay. The unexpected use of a second-round pick on Dillon, however, could lead to a bigger role than most would expect although the pick was more likely looking ahead to 2021 as both Jones and Williams are free agents after this season.
Tyler Ervin4.117.20.0816.70.022.99

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Davante Adams98.41215.29.35000177.62
Missing four games due to a toe injury, Adams still averaged the sixth-most fantasy points per game as Aaron Rodgers' go-to receiver in 2019. While he scored only five touchdowns in 2019, Adams had double-digit touchdowns in each of the three previous seasons and has a league-high 40 receiving touchdowns over the past four seasons.
Allen Lazard56.4724.74.5100099.53
With Devin Funchess opting out of the 2020 season, it boosts the outlook for Lazard, who finished with 35 catches for 477 yards and three touchdowns in 2019.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling33.7497.12.362.113.70.0465.48
Valdes-Scantling got off to a good start in 2019 with 21/416/2 through the first seven weeks of the season. After that point, however, MVS had a total of 36 yards over the final nine regular-season games with a catch rate of 26.3% (five catches on 19 targets).
Equanimeous St. Brown26.3353.71.9700047.19
Malik Taylor3.341.30.240005.57

TIGHT ENDS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Jace Sternberger31.33382.500048.8
Not targeted in the regular season, Sternberger had three catches for 15 yards and a touchdown in two playoff appearances. With Jimmy Graham now in Chicago, last year's 75th-overall pick will have an opportunity to make a much larger impact in 2020. That said, he may start slowly after spending a couple of weeks on the reserve/COVID-19 list this summer.
