Packers' Allen Lazard (ankle) not expected to play in Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) is not expected to play in Week 1's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
What It Means:
Lazard missed the final week of Green Bay's preseason practices with an ankle injury, and is now trending in the wrong direction for the team's first game of the season. The Packers' receiving corps was already thin with the offseason departure of Davante Adams, and Lazard's injury could leave Sammy Watkins, Randall Cobb, and rookies Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs as Aaron Rodgers' top targets in Week 1.
Our models project Randall Cobb to lead the way for the Packers in Week 1, with 6.13 fantasy points against the Vikings. He has a $5,100 salary on FanDuel.
