Green Bay Packers

Jonnu Smith

TE

Jordan Love threw for a massive 372 yards in the victory, but Smith wasn't targeted on any of the quarterback's 29 passes. That's been par for the course this season -- Smith has drawn one or zero targets in five straight appearances. The veteran tight end has had some productive offensive seasons in his career, but it appears Smith isn't going to be a big part of the Packers' passing-game plans this year.

Pierre Strong Jr.

RB

With Josh Jacobs (finger) knocked out of the game in the first quarter and set to miss several weeks, Strong figures to see his role expand in Green Bay's backfield, though MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson and even Chris Brooks (ankle) are likely to also see snaps in the coming weeks. Strong is not a recommended fantasy target in 12-team leagues.

Kaleb Johnson

RB

After being a healthy inactive for the Packers' previous two games, Johnson suited up for Sunday's tilt with the Patriots while Lloyd was inactive. With Jacobs leaving the contest late in the first quarter after fracturing his right ring finger, Johnson was thrust into action and delivered the Packers' best rushing performance of the season, finishing with 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown in the 45-27 win. Head coach Matt LaFleur relayed Monday that Jacobs will need surgery and could land on injured reserve, and while Lloyd could have a chance at returning to action Week 10, the Packers likely came away encouraged enough by Johnson's showing in Foxborough to give him another turn as their lead option on the ground. Johnson isn't likely to earn much passing-down work, however, as Lloyd, Pierre Strong and Chris Brooks (ankle) -- who could return from IR this week -- are all more capable options in that phase.

Chris Brooks

RB

Brooks -- who last played in Week 4 -- was designated to return from injured reserve this past Wednesday and listed as questionable ahead of Week 9. Though the Packers held off on activating Brooks for Sunday's win over the Patriots, he could be needed more than expected going forward, with Josh Jacobs in line to miss time with a finger injury that may result in an IR stint.

Donovan Jennings

G

Trey Smack

PK

Smack put together one of the more impressive performances of his rookie campaign. The kicker converted a 41-yard field goal in the second quarter before later adding makes from 51 and 38 yards in the second half. Smack entered Week 9 having made just five of his last nine field-goal tries, so Sunday's performance was a much-needed one for the 23-year-old.

Tucker Kraft

TE

The athletic tight end didn't get in on any of the fun on a day when Jordan Love threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns. Kraft's stat line set (receptions, receiving yards) or tied (targets) season lows, while his work on the ground included a pair of season-high figures. Nevertheless, it was an utterly forgettable showing for Kraft, who'll look to atone in a Week 10 home divisional clash against the Vikings next Sunday.

Matthew Golden

WR

Golden led the Packers in receptions and targets while finishing second in receiving yards, and the latter total was also a new career high. The second-year wideout also laid claim to the game's longest catch (49 yards), and he reeled in the first of Jordan Love's three TD passes on the day with a five-yard grab at just under the eight-minute mark of the first quarter. Golden now has four 100-yard efforts in what is already a breakout campaign that's seen him amass a 53-783-5 line on 92 targets heading into a Week 10 home showdown against the Vikings next Sunday.

Christian Watson

WR

Watson repeatedly got the best of Christian Gonzalez and the rest of a talented Patriots secondary, recording team- and career-high receiving yardage totals along the way. Watson burned New England for four catches of 20-plus yards, including a game-long 49-yard grab, as well as a 39-yard touchdown reception in the latter portion of the third quarter. Watson's career-best line is up to a tally of 49-879-7 on 74 targets heading into a Week 10 home matchup against the Vikings next Sunday.

Jordan Love

QB

Love continued to attack downfield with great efficacy in the significant road upset for the Packers. Love averaged 12.8 yards per attempt while amassing his second-highest passing yardage total of the season, a figure bested only by the 387-yard tally he managed in Week 1. Love generated his second straight three-touchdown day through the air as well, connecting with Matthew Golden (five yards), Savion Williams (10 yards) and Christian Watson (39 yards) for his trio of scoring strikes and kicking off the scoring on the day with a 13-yard rush just 1:41 into the contest. Love is up to 2,618 passing yards with a 19:6 TD:INT and a pair of rushing scores heading into a Week 10 home divisional clash against the Vikings next Sunday.

Savion Williams

WR

Williams was able to reel in multiple passes for the third time in four games since returning from injured reserve following an ankle injury. The wide receiver's biggest moment of the game came in the third quarter when he secured a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jordan Love by making an acrobatic catch. Williams has now reeled in 11 of 13 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown while turning eight carries into 44 yards over four contests this season.

Bo Melton

WR

Melton wasn't targeted prior to departing, but he did return four kicks for 110 yards. J. Michael Sturdivant will be next up for wideout snaps behind Matthew Golden, Christian Watson and Savion Williams.

Ty'Ron Hopper

LB

Hopper suffered a significant chest injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game. The inside linebacker has been ruled out, leaving Nick Niemann to finish the game in his stead.

Keisean Nixon

CB

Nixon ended Week 9 prep as a limited participant. The cornerback appears to be set to play through a persistent groin injury in Sunday's contest, meaning he may share his defensive snaps against the Patriots with Benjamin St-Juste.

Aaron Banks

G

Banks' consistent limited participation throughout Week 9 prep has enabled the left guard to dodge any injury designation for Sunday's showdown. The left guard is all set to suit up as a vital part of a Packers offensive line that has sustained extensive injuries over the first eight weeks of the 2026 regular season.

Micah Parsons

DE

After the Packers designated Parsons for return from injured reserve Wednesday, he logged three straight limited sessions as he ramps up for his first game action since Dec. 14, 2025 in Denver, when he tore the ACL in his left knee. Parsons himself told Ryan Wood of USA Today that he won't "pinpoint a day" for his return, but his 21-day window conveniently ends on Wednesday, Nov. 25, when the Packers take on the Rams in Los Angeles.

Isaiah McDuffie

LB

McDuffie tied with Evan Williams for the team lead in tackles. He played every one of the Packers' defensive snaps for the second straight game in the absence of Zaire Franklin (shin). McDuffie has tallied 21 tackles in the pair of contests, so he's looking like a strong IDP option, at least for as long as Franklin remains sidelined.

Evan Williams

S

Williams finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, notching double-digit stops for the fourth time this season. The safety has now compiled 71 total tackles (44 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed, two of which are interceptions, and a fumble recovery over the first eight games of the 2026 campaign.

Devonte Wyatt

DT

Wyatt was listed as questionable heading into this contest due to an ankle injury. However, he is cleared to suit up for Week 8 versus Carolina. The 28-year-old has appeared in seven regular-season games during the 2026 campaign, amassing 18 total tackles (10 solo) and 2.0 sacks.
