Green Bay Packers Fantasy Football Outlook & Stats 2026
Green Bay converted 48.8% of its third downs, second-best in the league, and still scored only 23.0 points a game because it ran the 23rd-fastest offence. Jordan Love threw twenty-three touchdowns against six interceptions at a 101.2 rating. The receiving corps is the story and the warning: Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft and Jayden Reed played ten, eight and seven games.

Core fantasy pieces
Thirteen rushing scores on 929 yards — the touchdown share is the whole asset.
- 929 rush yds
- 13 rush TD
- 36 rec, 282 yds
Two hundred and thirty-four carries at 4.0 is unremarkable running and thirteen touchdowns is a top-two figure at the position, which tells you exactly how Green Bay uses him: this offence converts third downs better than anyone and hands him the ball when the field is short. Thirty-six receptions add a PPR floor. The risk is that a 4.0-yard-per-carry back living on scores has a bad month whenever the drives stop ending in the end zone.
A 101.2 rating and twenty-three touchdowns, on an offence that runs 59.4 plays a game.
- 3,381 pass yds
- 23 TD, 6 INT
- 15 games
Sixty-six percent completion at a 101.2 rating with six interceptions is genuinely good quarterbacking, and the pace is why it does not translate into a top-five fantasy season. Two hundred and twenty-five passing yards a start with 199 rushing yards all year leaves a thin floor. He is the quarterback you start in a good matchup rather than the one you draft to stop thinking about the position.
17.5 yards a catch and six touchdowns in ten games.
- 35 rec, 611 yds
- 55 targets
- 6 TD
Sixty-one yards a game and a touchdown every other week is WR2 production at a rate nobody else in this receiving corps approached. He has now failed to reach twelve games in consecutive seasons, and 55 targets is a small enough base that a quiet week is a zero. Draft him as the highest-ceiling receiver here and never as somebody you rely on.
Six touchdowns and 489 yards in eight games — a full-season TE1 pace.
- 32 rec, 489 yds
- 44 targets
- 6 TD
Sixty-one yards a game at 15.3 a reception, with six scores in half a season, is the most productive per-game tight end line in this division. Eight games is the entire question and Jonnu Smith's arrival is a mild complication rather than a real one. If he plays fifteen games he is a top-five tight end; the market will price him closer to tenth, which is the opportunity.
Secondary options
Forty-four targets and no touchdowns, in an offence that needed him to produce.
- 29 rec, 361 yds
- 44 targets
- 0 TD
Twenty-nine receptions for 361 yards with zero scores is a disappointing season given how much time Watson and Reed missed — the opportunity was there and he did not take it. Green Bay manufactured ten carries for him, which says the staff wanted him involved. He is a bet on year-two development in a receiving corps where availability keeps creating vacancies.
Twenty-two targets in seven games, and an 86% catch rate on them.
- 19 rec, 207 yds
- 22 targets
- 7 games
Nineteen catches on 22 targets is efficient work in a role that barely existed before the season ended for him. The per-game usage was well below what he has commanded previously, so this is a bet on health restoring a role rather than on the role itself. Cheap enough to be worth it in a deep league and nowhere near reliable enough to start.
Fifty-four targets at 5.8 yards a catch — volume without yardage.
- 38 rec, 222 yds
- 54 targets
- 3 total TD
Thirty-eight receptions producing 222 yards is one of the lowest yards-per-catch figures any regular pass-catcher posted, and Green Bay added him to a room where Kraft is the clear starter when upright. Nine carries and a rushing touchdown suggest he will be used as a gadget piece. He matters only in the weeks Kraft is unavailable.
Bottom lineAn efficient offence that does not run enough plays to make anyone a weekly must-start except Josh Jacobs, and his value rests on thirteen touchdowns rather than on 4.0 yards a carry. Tucker Kraft is the buy here — a top-five tight-end rate that the market will discount because of eight games.
Usage & Opportunity Report
Updated through Week 4 · refreshed every Tuesday
Fantasy production follows opportunity, not the other way around — so this report tracks who's on the field and who the ball is going to, before the box score catches up. The essentials: target share (share of team pass attempts), snap share, and red-zone touches. The premium layer, in each player's expandable profile: first-read share (how often the play is designed for him), air-yards share (30%+ is the alpha-receiver threshold), and expected fantasy points (xFP) vs. fantasy points over expected (FPOE) — xFP is stable, repeatable volume; FPOE is efficiency that regresses. Route share (the % of dropbacks a player runs a route on — the stat that matters most for tight ends), targets per route run (TPRR) and yards per route run (YPRR — the best receiver efficiency stat there is) join the profiles when the league's route data is published. Since 2017, receivers at a 20%+ target share average 15.3 fantasy points per game; the 10–20% group averages 9.8. That cliff is why this table exists.
- Pass rate over expected+2.5%6thThrows about as much as situations call for — the target tree, not the play-calling, decides who eats
- Red-zone pass rate62%8thThrows inside the 20 — Watson's 4 end-zone targets lead the team

The Target Tree
All 124 Packers pass attempts through Week 4
- Matthew Golden 24.2%
- Christian Watson 23.4%
- Tucker Kraft 13.7%
- Skyy Moore 8.9%
- Jayden Reed 6.5%
- Lloyd/Smith/Brooks 12.9%
- Everyone else 7.3%
- No target (throwaways, spikes, batted) 3.2%
The Backfield Split
Who owns which situations — the RB stat that actually predicts the box score.
- MarShawn Lloyd 48.6%
- Chris Brooks 26.4%
- Kaleb Johnson 25.0%
Share of the backs' carries + targets in each situation. Snap-by-snap splits need the league's participation data, which is published after the season.
- 11.7Lloyd weighted opps/game — RB42 in the NFL
- 9Lloyd high-value touches (in-10 carries + targets)
- 6.3Brooks weighted opps/game
Why Lloyd's floor holds in PPR: He keeps 46% of the backfield's targets as well as the early downs, so his catches don't depend on game script — a 23-catch pace. Trailing by 7+, he still gets 33% of the backs' work — no one takes the hurry-up snaps from him.
The Brooks math if Lloyd misses time: Brooks backs up the early-down and red-zone roles (the valuable ones). A Lloyd absence projects Brooks to ~47% of weighted opportunities — about 12.7 a game, flex volume at best.
Run Direction — carries & yards per carry by gap
- 4.97 attLeft end
- 3.89 attLeft tackle
- 2.824 attMiddle
- 2.45 attRight tackle
- 0.02 attRight end
Designed runs only; "Middle" includes runs behind either guard.
The left side is the run game's engine: 4.9 yards per carry off left end and 3.8 behind left tackle — 34% of all designed runs go that way. Interior volume (24 attempts) does the clock work at 2.8; the left edge does the damage. When the line's left side sits out practice, that's a usage note, not just an injury note.

The short middle is the efficiency engine (8.4 YPA). Love keeps 87% of his throws under 20 air yards, with the deep middle his most explosive zone (21 YPA on 2 attempts). Gold = highest-YPA high-volume zone.

Coaching Profile & Tendencies
Play-calling tendencies carry over from season to season when the play-caller stays the same — and become unreliable the moment he changes. That's the whole reason this module exists: before you trust any Packers projection, you need to know whose fingerprints are on the offense and how stable they are. For the Packers the answer is stable: Matt LaFleur called this offense last season too — his eighth year on its call sheet — so last year's tendencies still mean something.

Tendency reliability
Same play-caller as last season — his eighth season calling this offense. Last year's tendencies are a valid baseline for projecting it.

1004th-down go
Drives stay alive.
The go rate on short 4th downs jumped from 82% to 100%. Extended drives convert field-goal range into red-zone trips — touchdowns instead of three points.
73.3pass %
More dropbacks.
Pass rate rose from 55.7% to 73.3%. More pass attempts means more target volume for the receivers and backs who catch it — the simplest kind of fantasy raise.
66.7early-down pass %
Passing on the downs that are a choice.
Early-down pass rate climbed from 50.3% to 66.7%. First and second down are where a play-caller shows intent — this is a real lean toward the pass game, not late-down necessity.
Offensive coordinator
Adam Stenavich
Green Bay's OC since 2022 after rising from offensive line and run-game roles; supports offensive planning and coordination but has no documented primary game-day play-calling experience
Has not been a primary NFL play-caller, so there is no competing track record to muddy the read: the tendencies on this page are LaFleur's.
Defensive coordinator
Jonathan Gannon
New, personnel-driven Gannon system for 2026: 3-4 base principles with significant nickel/three-safety usage, extensive coverage disguise and varied pressure looks, emphasizing speed, physicality and takeaways
Through Week 4 the defense allows 0.06 EPA per play (22nd in the NFL). A middle-of-the-pack unit so far — game script here is week-to-week, so check the spread before leaning on it.
Staff continuity
Year 8
LaFleur's eighth season calling the Packers offense
A continuing install: same caller, same system, eighth year. That makes the 2025 column of the table above a legitimate baseline rather than another team's data.

Positional finishes are season-long PPR ranks from nflverse scoring data. LaFleur's offenses have put up repeated top-ten positional seasons — the system has paid fantasy investors before.
How he distributes the ball
Target split by position across LaFleur's play-calling seasons since 2016, vs. league average.
Filled bar = LaFleur offenses · thin marker = league average
The lean: wide receivers run 4 points above league average under LaFleur (63% vs 59%). Position splits this stable are scheme, and scheme is what carries week to week.
How he manages a backfield
Lead back's share of backfield weighted opportunities, by season called.
No clean trend: the lead back's share of backfield weighted opportunities (carries + 2×targets) has moved around season to season. Treat the current split as the read and revisit it weekly.
Play-calling by score state
Pass rate when leading, close, and trailing, 2026 through Week 4.
A 32-point pass-rate swing between leading and trailing. Ahead, the backfield eats; behind, the targets spike — check the spread before you set a flex. Through Week 4 some of these buckets are thin (play counts shown), so treat the splits as early reads.
The fantasy bottom line: eighth season of the same play-caller makes this one of the more projectable offenses in the league: 4th-down go rate above league average (100% vs 75%), and pass rate above league average (73.3% vs 60%). The target tree leans WR, and the lead back holds 49% of the backfield's weighted opportunities. Every number on this page is computed from nflverse play-by-play and FTN charting — when it changes, the page changes.
