The Green Bay Packers offense has been a frustrating puzzle for fantasy football managers over the past few seasons. Coach Matt LaFleur’s gameplan-specific play-calling created week-to-week volatility at wide receiver, where Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Christian Watson, and Jayden Reed all took turns producing big games without the consistency necessary to thrive in fantasy lineups.

With significant roster turnover this offseason, Green Bay’s offensive landscape has shifted. The target distribution looks cleaner, the volume projections look stronger, and a few Packers deserve serious consideration on draft day.

This exercise doubles as an analysis of what the Packers’ offense could become in 2026 and which players may have been overlooked throughout the offseason.

Josh Jacobs brings elite volume in a run-heavy scheme

Running back Josh Jacobs checks in as the 20th player in ADP, per DraftSharks, and his production since arriving in Green Bay supports the price tag. Jacobs has averaged 1,441 scrimmage yards per season with the Packers and totaled 30 touchdowns across his first two years.

The volume case gets even stronger in 2026. Green Bay allowed Emanuel Wilson to leave in free agency after declining to tender him as a restricted free agent, removing the most obvious backup option. MarShawn Lloyd remains a question mark after multiple injuries through his first two NFL seasons, and Chris Brooks profiles more as a pass-blocker and situational piece than a true complement.

The Packers run one of the most run-heavy offenses in football, and Jacobs will inevitably carry a massive workload if he stays on the field. He dealt with off-field issues this offseason involving an arrest, but he participated in most of the Packers’ mandatory minicamp and is available to play until further notice.

Tucker Kraft could be the league’s biggest fantasy steal

Tight end Tucker Kraft sits at 76th in ADP, per DraftSharks, and that feels like a massive discount for a player with legitimate top-five upside at the position.

The hesitation centers on health. Kraft is coming off an ACL injury that limited him to eight games last season, but he has said he will be ready to play by Week 1.

Even in that shortened campaign, Kraft’s production was remarkable. Extrapolating his eight-game numbers to a 17-game sample projects to 63 receptions, 996 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Those are strong tight end numbers in any format.

The wider context makes him even more appealing. With Green Bay’s wide receiver group producing volatile fantasy results, Kraft was the safest bet on the Packers’ offense because he produced nearly every week. Tight end remains one of the most difficult positions to fill in fantasy, and outside the truly elite options, consistent production is rare. Kraft offers both ceiling and floor, making him arguably the most efficient fantasy piece on Green Bay’s roster.

Matthew Golden represents a bet on Year 2 growth

Wide receiver Matthew Golden comes in at 178th in ADP, a reflection of a disappointing rookie season (29 receptions, 361 yards, zero touchdowns in the regular season). The price is low, but the opportunity ahead of him is significant.

Green Bay’s wide receiver room looks dramatically different. The Packers allowed Doubs to walk in free agency and traded Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, stripping away two of the primary competitors for targets. The team is betting on Golden, Watson, and Reed to absorb that volume and perform at a higher level.

Golden’s value separates from Watson’s because of their contrasting profiles. Watson is perceived as the No. 1 receiver, but he profiles as a big-play threat. Golden’s skill set lends itself to a volume role, which carries more fantasy value on a weekly basis. That distinction matters even more in points-per-reception formats, where Golden’s potential as a consistent target earner could make him one of the better late-round values in fantasy drafts.

For managers willing to bet on opportunity over track record, Golden’s combination of low cost and high upside makes him one of the more compelling fliers on the board.
