The Packers allowed 30 points and 397 yards during the Week 3 win over the Saints and play the Falcons on Monday.

Analysis: Green Bay had one takeaway and two sacks but were unable to contain RB Alvin Kamara, as he rushed six times for 58 yards and caught 13 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns. DT Kenny Clark (groin) missed the game, but he practiced as a limited participant Thursday and would be a huge boost if able to play this week. Atlanta is dealing with injuries of its own, as WRs Julio Jones (hamstring), Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Russell Gage (head) are all banged up. At full strength this is a matchup to…read more

DT Kenny Clark (groin) may not be available for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Analysis: Clark began the week not practice and seems headed for a questionable tag, at best. The Packers had a strong showing against the Lions last week, recording four sacks and turning the lone takeaway into a touchdown (a pick-six from CB Chandon Sullivan). QB Drew Brees and New Orleans typically have fantastic ball security and strong pass protection, which makes them an easy matchup to avoid for fantasy defenses. However, if WR Michael Thomas (ankle) misses his second straight game, the Green Bay…read more

The Packers gave up 34 points and 382 yards during Sunday's 43-34 win over the Vikings and play the Lions in Week 2.

Analysis: Green Bay dominated the ball early and held a 29-10 lead through three quarters, but Minnesota rallied for 24 points in the fourth to dampen any defensive fantasy production. The Packers had two sacks, one takeaway and a safety, but the late production from QB Kirk Cousins is somewhat concerning. Detroit had one sack allowed and one giveaway in the season opener, and this matchup for the Green Bay D/ST isn't much to get excited about, though you could certainly do worse.

The Packers will face the Vikings on the road in Sunday's season opener.

Analysis: With the exception of replacing Blake Martinez with Christian Kirksey at inside linebacker, the Packers return the same starting 11 from the 2019 defense. The Vikings lost a high-end talent with the departure of WR Stefon Diggs, which should lead to increased attention for Adam Thielen, who is now clearly the team's No. 1 wideout. Minnesota was middle of the pack in giveaways (20) but tied-fifth with only 28 sacks allowed last season. but Green Bay had plenty of success in their two matchups…read more

The Packers ranked 18th in total defense (352.6 YPG), ninth in scoring (19.6 PPG), tied-seventh in takeaways (25) and tied-15th in sacks (41) in 2019.

Analysis: Green Bay returns the same starting 11 from the defense last season with the exception of Blake Martinez at linebacker, who was replace via free agency by Christian Kirksey. The major weakness came against the run (4.7 YPC), and that seems likely to be the case again given the lack of personnel changes. The success of pass rushers Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith (25.5 combined sacks) figures to dictate whether the group can replicate last season's performance.

The Packers allowed 139 yards and 10 points to the Vikings in Week 16 and play the Lions on Sunday.

Analysis: Minnesota managed only 2.6 yards per play and seven first downs Monday, as Green Bay had five sacks and one takeaway while dominating the ball. The regular-season finale against reeling Detroit provides a great chance to build on that performance. The Packers are seventh in takeaways (34) and 13th in sacks (40), and the matchup with the Lions will be a prime opportunity to add to those totals.

The Packers allowed 415 yards and 13 points to the Bears in Week 15 and play the Vikings on Monday.

Analysis: Chicago's desperation laterals on the final play of the game came up just short, but the end result of a lost fumble ended up adding to Green Bay's defensive output. Overall the Packers had three sacks and three takeaways. Week 16 against the Vikings presents significantly more difficult matchup, as they coming off a 39-point performance against the Chargers. Minnesota has protected QB Kirk Cousins well (23 sacks and 59 QB hits allowed) this season, while the Packers have generally struggled to…read more

Green Bay held Washington to 262 yards during the Week 14, 20-15 and play Chicago on Sunday.

Analysis: The Packers had four sacks and one takeaway as QB Dwayne Haskins was held to 4.5 yards per pass. A matchup with the Bears presents another solid opportunity in Week 15, though they do a solid job of taking care of the ball (15 giveaways). Green Bay allowed only three points in the first iteration of this matchup Week 1, but it's difficult to envision another stifling performance. The Packers are a plus-matchup for this week, but they haven't been consistent enough this season for them to be…read more

The Packers gave up 335 yards in the 31-13, Week 13 win over the Giants and will play the Redskins on Sunday

Analysis: Green Bay didn't record any sacks but had three takeaways to provide solid value against New York. Week 14 presents another appetizing matchup with the Redskins, though they are coming off a solid win against the Panthers. Still, Washington is a bottom of the barrel offense in yardage (262.4 YPG), scoring (14.4 PPG) and sacks allowed (40). Slowing RBs Adrian Peterson and Derrius Guice will be the keys shutting down the offense, which averages only 163.0 YPG through the air. The Packers should…read more

The Packers were torched for 39 points by the 49ers in Week 12 and will play the Giants on Sunday.

Analysis: Nothing went right for the Green Bay in this game, as the offense averaged a meager 2.8 yards per play while the defense surrendered 7.5 yards per play. The Packers had a strong defensive start to the season but have been struggling of late, and a matchup with the Giants provides the perfect opportunity to get back on track. New York ranks 25th in total offense, 24th in scoring, tied-23rd in sacks allowed (35) and 31st in giveaways (25). The Green Bay D/ST has been an unreliable option of late…read more

The Packers come out of their bye week giving up 384.7 YPG and 20.5 PPG and will play the 49ers on Sunday Night Football.

Analysis: Green Bay had two takeaways, three sacks and held Carolina to 16 points in Week 10, but as usual played bend-but-don't-break defense and allowed 400 yards. The Packers are tied-sixth in takeaways (16), but they've struggled to slow opposing offenses after a strong start to the season. Meanwhile, the 49ers are averaging 34.8 PPG in the last four games and rank fifth in total offense (386.6 YPG) this season. The Green Bay D/ST isn't an overly attractive fantasy option for Week 12.
