Prior to the release of ADPs four months ago, I discussed the Packers’ biggest fantasy bargain, bust, and wild card. Where do things stand as we approach the first preseason games?
The longer Matthew Golden can remain under fantasy radars, the better for managers seeking a middle-round WR bargain. The 2025 first-round pick possesses a ceiling far above his WR50 ADP. Despite a rough rookie campaign, he was picking up steam in the first half of the season when Christian Watson made his season debut. This increasingly crowded receiving corps made it difficult for Golden to find his footing. With Dontayvion Wick and Romeo Doubs gone, the door is open for Golden.
Whether or not off-the-field issues curtail Josh Jacobs’ 2026 season, the writing might be on the wall for an aging workhorse running back who’s benefited immensely from 30 touchdowns since 2024. This franchise has already paid his contractually obligated guaranteed money, meaning he could be cut after this year without too much cap pain. While it might sound absurd, MarShawn Lloyd is waiting in the wings, and Jacobs has less room for error than at any time in his career.
That makes Lloyd the biggest wild card at his RB63 ADP. It’s been nearly two years since the 2024 third-round pick has taken the field. He has only seven touches since Thanksgiving 2023, right after wrapping up his college career at the University of Southern California. If he looks the part in camp, Lloyd could be a steal. But he also has the potential to lose the handcuff job to Chris Brooks.
