After scoring just 20 combined points over the last two weeks, the Green Bay offense is desperate for a bounce-back performance vs. the Giants. Meanwhile, the New York Giants roll into this game with Jameis Winston under center, which means anything is possible in Big Blue’s unpredictable attack. This is the kind of matchup that provides fantasy relevance across both rosters, from safe floor plays to high-upside sleepers.

Matchup Breakdown
Green Bay Packers Offense
The Packers have been inconsistent, but the Giants’ defense has been vulnerable to big plays, giving up 30+ points in two of the last three games. This is a prime opportunity for Green Bay to regain offensive confidence.
Fantasy Angles:
• Jordan Love has multiple scoring opportunities against a leaky secondary.
• Josh Jacobs is the bell-cow back with goal-line and early-down work.
• Watson and Doubs create vertical threats that can exploit poor coverage.
• Musgrave provides a unique TE option for mid-field stretching, different from typical possession TEs.
Packers Key Starters
Jordan Love — QB
Love should rebound in this matchup. The Giants have been prone to giving up chunk plays and multiple passing scores. Fantasy managers can safely start Love as a QB1 or strong QB2, depending on format.
Josh Jacobs — RB
Jacobs was the lone bright spot against the Eagles. He should continue producing with at least 100 yards and a score, especially if the Packers control possession early.
Romeo Doubs & Christian Watson — WRs
Doubs remains the WR1, while Watson makes the most of limited opportunities. Both are expected to be heavily involved, with Watson’s scoring upside especially high against a weak Giants secondary.

Luke Musgrave — TE (Sleeper)
Musgrave is a field-stretching TE who caught all three targets last week. Expect more targets and fantasy-relevant numbers this week.
Packers D/ST
Green Bay’s defense has been solid the last two weeks, only allowing 26 points combined. Facing Winston, this unit has a favorable matchup and could produce turnovers and sacks, making them a strong fantasy start.
New York Giants Offense
The Giants are relying on Jameis Winston, which makes this unit unpredictable. Receivers like Darius Slayton, Theo Johnson, and Wandale Robinson are seeing plenty of targets and can be flex options in deeper leagues.
Fantasy Angles:
• Slayton is the WR1 with consistent volume.
• Theo Johnson has shown flashes, including a score, over the last two weeks.

• Wandale Robinson has seen 22 targets across two games, earning flex consideration.
• Running backs Singletary and Tracy face tough matchups; low upside makes them sit.
Sleeper / Emergency Plays
Jameis Winston — QB, Giants
Anything is possible here. Winston has a couple of weapons to work with and could produce big numbers in a shootout. Only start in emergency situations or 2-QB leagues where you need QB depth.
Sit ’Em
• Singletary & Tracy (RBs, Giants) — tough matchup, limited fantasy ceiling
• Giants Defense — not recommended; this game projects to be high-scoring
Final Thoughts
This game is a bounce-back opportunity for Green Bay and a potential fantasy goldmine for mid-tier WRs and flex players on both rosters.
Start Love and Jacobs, lean on Watson and Doubs for upside, and consider Musgrave and the Packers defense for additional points. For the Giants, a volume-based receiver like Robinson can produce, but Jameis remains a high-risk, high-reward option.
