Full participation: K Mason Crosby (right knee), LB Tipa Galeai (elbow), C Jake Hanson (shoulder), S Dallin Leavitt (shoulder), T Yosh Nijman (knee), WR Christian Watson (knee)

Related players: Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs, Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins

Fantasy Impact:

It's a good sign Watson will be able to go Week 1, especially with Lazard dealing with an injury and a bit of a question mark at this point. Doubs, Cobb and Watkins should also be involved.

Praise continues to pour in for Packers rookie WR Romeo Doubs

In the most recent —of many— pieces on Romeo Doubs this preseason, teammates continue to praise the rookie's "blasé" attitude and ability to bounce back quickly from minor mistakes.

Related Players: Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, Christian Watson

Fantasy Impact:

While Sammy Watkins is probably the player who will lose his starting nomenclature with the continued improvement of Doubs, nothing is saying the rookie couldn't be a threat to the entire wide receiver room. The oft-mentioned downfall of rookies within the Packers' structure is how quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn't trust them, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Doubs. Per the article, “Doubs has done a lot of really nice things, but I think the standard for him is not going to be maybe the standard for a normal rookie we’ve had here in the past — especially in the past four or five years — because he’s going to be expected to play based on his performance so far in camp,” Rodgers explained last week. “So we’ve got to hold him to a standard that I know he’s capable of reaching.”

Rodgers: WR Romeo Doubs raised expectations

Aaron Rodgers has said many times that expectations need to be “reasonable” for the rookie WRs.

Romeo Doubs, based on how well he’s played during camp, raised those expectations.

“The standard for him is not going to be the standard for a normal rookie we’ve had here in the past.”

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs continues to earn high praise from Rodgers, something that's been going on for a while. While Doubs has had a bad drop or two, Rodgers seems willing to live with it based on the rest of his performance in camp, as well as his skillset. Now that Watson is back from injury, he should continue to climb our rankings as well. But for now, Doubs looks like the Packers rookie WR to own heading into the season.

Packers WR Christian Watson runs with first team

Christian Watson made it through first-team drills well.

Fantasy Impact:

Head coach Matt LaFleur said: “You could definitely feel his speed and size out there.” It's a good sign for Watson who is finally back and getting reps after missing valuable time. Right now, it's the rookie Doubs who we have higher in the rankings, but as long as Watson stays healthy and continues to run with the first team, keep a look out for him to possibly make a run up the rankings.
