Packers Week 9 outlook
Green Bay sits at 5-3 atop a tight NFC North race, enters this week on a one-game winning streak, and has outscored opponents 171-164 this season. The stretch run included tough results against Carolina, Detroit and Dallas, showing a club that competes but has had trouble closing. This week brings a trip to face New England, with the market giving Green Bay a 42.6% chance to win, signaling a near coin-flip on the road.
For fantasy managers, Jordan Love (17.5 points projected) and Josh Jacobs (16.5) are the headliners, each facing a defense ranked in the bottom ten against their position. Tucker Kraft (10.5) also gets a favorable matchup at tight end. Matthew Golden (13.5) and Christian Watson (11.5) carry more risk, both questionable with shoulder and lingering issues, against a secondary ranked middling at 21st.
The offensive line is thinner than usual with Sean Rhyan and Travis Glover both out, which could affect protection and run lanes. Up front defensively, Anthony Campbell, Brenton Cox Jr. and Devonte Wyatt are all questionable, adding uncertainty to how Green Bay handles New England's offense.
