Fantasy Football Video: While we may have some clarity on the Packers' WR room, will that translate to value in 2026?

Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski examine Green Bay's WR room and whether 2026 will translate into a jump in fantasy value.

Trying to figure out the Packers’ wide receiver room for fantasy football has been like trying to find meaning in a Pauly Shore movie. (For those of you who aren’t from the ‘90s, that’s a reference to the movie Clueless . ) Anyway, Green Bay hasn’t had a true No.

1 receiver since Davante Adams was traded after the 2021 regular season. Since then, it’s been a mixed bag of names like Allen Lazard, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks.

Let’s also not forget TE Tucker Kraft, who is coming off a torn ACL. Does that mean we finally have some clarity on who will get targets from QB Jordan Love in 2026? Matt Harmon and Scott Pianowski break it down on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast .

Harmon thinks that this room is pretty clear when you look at the roster, in that Matt LaFleur could opt to primarily use the three main receivers — Watson, Reed and Golden. Harmon doesn’t believe that Green Bay will rotate in second-year WR Savion Williams and veteran Skyy Moore much. If that’s the case and the Packers offense remains efficient enough, Harmon believes that one of those three names will be a good value in fantasy football.
