Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is getting another weapon back in time for Week 11, as wide receiver Allen Lazard was activated off injured reserve Tuesday.

Lazard missed the the Packers’ last six games after undergoing core muscle surgery in early October. Over the first three games of the season, Lazard caught 13 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns. In Week 3 against New Orleans, Lazard hauled in six receptions for a career-best 146 yards and a score. Lazard should be good to go for Week 11 against the Colts, but it's unclear if he'll be on a snap count. He should eventually get back his WR2 role but it may be best to wait and see on him in fantasy lineups his first week back.

Aaron Rodgers was trying to avoid the Atlanta pass rush and tumbled to the turf in awkward fashion as part of that effort. He got back up slowly, but remained in the game and told Lisa Salters of ESPN after the final whistle that he was more red-faced about how the play looked than he was concerned about his health.

Rodgers said he was more embarrassed than anything but did admit after the game, “My ankle kinda, or knee, something, kinda hyperextended maybe a little bit but I’m alright.” As the story added, the Packers have a bye in Week 5 so there’s plenty of time for Rodgers to make sure all is well.

Packers WR Allen Lazard has been finding space in between the hashes and connecting with QB Aaron Rodgers. “Rodgers hits Lazard in the middle of the field” is something you can get used to hearing, tweeted Peter Bukowski of 247 Sports.

Someone had to step up for the Packers at wide receiver, and Lazard is answering that call. Plenty of buzz surrounded him in the fantasy industry after Lazard established a rapport with Rodgers in 2019. It looks like the trust has grown and gives the Packers a needed weapon in the middle of the field. Lazard is still available well into the later rounds.

The Athletic reports that Packers WR Allen Lazard's performance during training camp has solidifed the coaching staff's belief that he can be Aaron Rodgers' second receiving option behind Davante Adams.

The Packers have been slammed all offseason for failing to address the glaring weakness in their wide receiver room, but reports about Lazard's performance in camp have been positive and Aaron Rodgers has complimented Lazard's improvement and professionalism. Davante Adams is still set to command a massive target share, but whoever emerges in the passing game behind him should have plenty of opportunity to produce with the lack of established playmakers on the Green Bay offense. Lazard is interesting as a late-round flier.
