Regeln » Packers-Lions Fantasy Reaction: Injuries force youth

into action What a tough pill to swallow. It seemed like nothing was going to go right for the Packers from the get-go when an early call got overturned on a punt to say that Kevin King had touched the ball (he didn’t) and gave possession back to the Lions deep Cheap Ty Summers Jersey , deep in Packers’ territory. It was a proverbial snowball effect thereafter as the Packers were on the losing end of various penalty calls and one of the worst place kicking performances of all-time. That’s not hyperbole either. Mason Crosby was one of the first kickers to miss 4 field goals and an extra point since 1980 when Rolf Benirschke of the Chargers did it. (Go figure a Chargers kicker was bad at making field goals at one point).It wasn’t an entirely lost trip to Detroit, however. Some players saw their value go up and these repetitions were valuable to earning more trust with Aaron Rodgers moving forward as Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison work their ways back from injury. Let’s take a look at whose stock rose after the game and whose might have fallen:Stock UpDavante Adams, WRDespite being the only receiver with solid experience playing with Rodgers and therefore warranting a lot of attention, Adams had himself a great fantasy day. He was targeted 12 times (which, frankly, felt like too little) and brought in nine catches for 140 yards and a touchdown. The ever agile Adams was displaying his knack for gathering yards after the catch despite being heavily shadowed by Lions defenders. Of course, you probably shouldn’t bench Adams in any format. With four touchdowns in five games, being Rodgers’ go-to is as close to fantasy gold for a wide receiver as you can get. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WRDespite an early mental hiccup where MVS failed to drag his feet on an out route, Valdes-Scantling displayed his field stretching ability quite well when called to more action. His 10 targets are a little inflated because of Green Bay’s large halftime deficit and their need to start airing it out more than I’m sure they’d like, but the reps are quite welcome. His seven catches for 68 yards and an easy red zone touchdown are enough to make any fantasy owner tilt towards starting him in the flex next week. But if Cobb and Allison get good news, MVS is nothing more than a flier for the bench. Jimmy Graham Ty Summers Jersey Womens , TEGraham received the second most targets (11) and hopefully began to build a long-lasting trust with Rodgers. He let a touchdown slip right through his fingers, but his six catches for 76 yards are fairly promising given the league-wide attrition for fantasy-viable tight ends. It’s his second highest yardage output for the season, but the weeks that Graham finds the end zone, you’ll be grateful. Stock DownMason Crosby, KOh my. Where to begin? Crosby was 1/5 and missed an extra point earning most fantasy owners negative points for the week. And the four missed field goals weren’t 50-yard bombs either. They were chip shots that made even the most intoxicated Packer fan at the local tavern convinced that he could make at least one more of those than Crosby. A tough look for the veteran. I’m not certain of his job status at this point, but that’s hard to come back from. His veteran status could save him, but one hopes that the mental toll doesn’t linger too long. He was kicking in a dome, too! Okay, I’m done. Moving on to the next player. Ty Montgomery, RB/WRDespite being featured heavily in the Packers turn to a pass-heavy offense during the second half of the game, Montgomery was largely ineffective. He tallied four carries for a measly 15 yards, and one catch on 3 targets for 23 yards. With the absence of Cobb Ty Summers Green Bay Packers Jersey , one would kind of expect Montgomery to pick up some of that short yardage slack, but he really just made you yell at your TV for Aaron Jones to get back in the game. Montgomery’s fantasy relevance is all, but gone. In fact, he’s still 40% owned in ESPN leagues which makes me ask: why? Green Bay added a kick return specialist to the roster on Monday." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Packers claim former Giants WR Jawill Davis on waiversTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesThe Green Bay Packers were briefly up to 90 players on their roster on Monday after the signings of wide receiver Darrius Shepherd and cornerback Chandon Sullivan. However, the release of running back Lavon Coleman in the afternoon put the team back down to 89. Now the roster is full again, as the NFL’s Monday transaction wire revealed another addition by general manager Brian Gutekunst.That transaction is a waiver claim, as the Packers have added wide receiver Jawill Davis after he was recently released by the New York Giants. Davis, who signed with the Giants last year as an undrafted free agent, made the team out of training camp and was active for seven games last season. He then went on injured reserve late in the season and was waived on Friday.A three-year starter at Bethune-Cookman, Davis’ best season came as a redshirt sophomore in 2015. That season he caught 39 passes for 788 yards and six touchdowns, averaging just over 20 yards per reception. Interestingly, Davis returned only a single punt or kickoff in college (back in his true freshman year of 2013) Aaron Rodgers Jersey , but returns were his primary function for the Giants as a rookie.At 6-foot-1 and 191 pounds, Davis is fast — there’s no question about that. According to Draftscout.com, Davis’ time in the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day was 4.38 seconds, with an even more impressive time of 1.50 in the first ten yards. He also is an explosive athlete, registering a 39.5-inch vertical and a solid 10-foot-3 broad jump. However, Davis’ agility testing was truly awful for a player at his position and size. His short shuttle time is a reported 4.56 seconds, with a 3-cone time of 7.52 seconds. puts Davis’ agility score in the first percentile among wide receivers.It is interesting, then, that Davis’ contributions with the Giants came almost exclusively as a return man. Evidently his preferred method for returning kicks is simply to outrun tacklers rather than to make them miss. Using that approach, He did have a moderate amount of success as a returner last year, with 24.4 yards per kickoff return on seven attempts and 7.4 yards per punt return on 12 opportunities.
