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 | 49.7 | 258.4 | 2.1 | 2.4 | 316.24 |
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. | ||||||||||

Running Backs
Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jamaal Williams | 161.6 | 662.6 | 5.3 | 20.9 | 163 | 1.5 | 0.2 | 122.96 |
With both Ty Montgomery and Aaron Jones missing time, 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 and the workload allocation for the team's top-three backs could be fluid throughout the season. The two-game suspension of Aaron Jones to start the season helps Williams' case. | ||||||||
Ty Montgomery | 72.6 | 319.4 | 2.9 | 38.8 | 318.2 | 1.6 | 0.2 | 90.36 |
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 | 99.4 | 452.3 | 3.4 | 16.9 | 114.9 | 0.3 | 0.2 | 78.52 |
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, but Jones could have the opportunity to emerge as the primary back over the course of the season. | ||||||||
Aaron Ripkowski | 3.6 | 10.1 | 0.2 | 7.4 | 42.9 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 7.5 |
Devante Mays | 2.8 | 9.5 | 0.1 | 1.5 | 7.5 | 0 | 0.3 | 1.7 |
Joe Kerridge | 1.2 | 1.8 | 0 | 0.6 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0.48 |

Wide Receivers
Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Davante Adams | 80.3 | 1011.8 | 9.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 158.18 |
With double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons, Adams has a total of 149/1,882/22 over the past two years. With Jordy Nelson released (and now in Oakland), Adams will have an opportunity to improve upon his top-12 (or 14th in PPR) 2017 production. | ||||||||
Randall Cobb | 73.8 | 774.9 | 6.6 | 10.8 | 42.1 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 121.7 |
Since exceeding 800-plus yards in his three healthy seasons from 2012 to 2015, Cobb has 600-something yards in back-to-back seasons. His 43.5 yards per game and 9.9 yards per catch were either the lowest of his career or since his rookie season. Given a secure WR2 role, however, Cobb should bounce back provided that he and Rodgers can stay healthy. | ||||||||
Geronimo Allison | 31.4 | 405.1 | 2.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.6 | 53.71 |
J'Mon Moore | 17.2 | 227 | 1.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.4 | 32.7 |
Equanimeous St. Brown | 3.5 | 50.8 | 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 7.28 |
Trevor Davis | 2.4 | 31.2 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 4.12 |
Marquez Valdes-Scantling | 1.2 | 18 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 1.8 |

Tight Ends
Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | FL | Points |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jimmy Graham | 58.1 | 615.9 | 7.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.8 | 105.59 |
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 | 14.3 | 148.7 | 1.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.1 | 22.47 |
Marcedes Lewis | 8.7 | 104.4 | 0.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15.24 |
