  • Records three receptions

    Lazard recorded three receptions on six targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 31-26 loss in the NFC Championship Game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Lazard made several clutch grabs, including a 23-yard reception late in the first quarter to convert on third down to keep a drive alive that ultimately ended with a touchdown. He topped 15 yards with his other two receptions on the day, one of which directly led to another score for the Packers. Lazard was limited to 11 games during the regular season by a core-muscle injury but improved his performance from a per-game perspective in his third season as a professional. Heading into the 2021…read more

  • Cleared to face Bucs

    Lazard (wrist/back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The Packers have consistently limited Lazard's practice participation since he returned from core muscle surgery in November, but he hasn't actually missed any games. He played a significant role in the win over Los Angeles last week, catching four of eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown while playing 72 percent of the snaps on offense.

  • Logs another limited session

    Lazard (wrist/back) was limited at Thursday's practice, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: This is par for the course for Lazard ever since he was cleared to return to action Week 11 following core muscle surgery back on Oct. 1. He put together his best outing since the procedure this past Saturday against the Rams -- four catches (on eight targets) for 96 yards and one touchdown -- so he has some momentum heading into the NFC Championship Game. Friday's injury report likely will pave the way for Lazard to face the Buccaneers on Sunday.

  • Limited at practice

    The Packers listed Lazard as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report with wrist and back injuries.

    Analysis: Lazard was one of 10 Green Bay players classified as limited Wednesday, but the team hasn't indicated that the wideout is in any danger of missing Sunday's NFC Championship Game against Tampa Bay. Last week, Lazard was limited in practice as well, but he didn't carry a designation into the Packers' divisional-round win over the Rams.

  • Clinches playoff victory

    Lazard recorded four receptions on eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' divisional-round win over the Rams on Saturday.

    Analysis: Lazard led the Packers in yards, thanks to a 58-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter to clinch a win. It was a moment of redemption for Lazard, as he dropped what appeared to be another long touchdown earlier in the game. After commanding no more than six targets in any of the final seven regular-season contests, Lazard appears to have reasserted himself as the team's second wide receiver.

  • Ready for Saturday's game

    Lazard (core/wrist) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Lazard continues to have his practice reps capped since undergoing core-muscle surgery Week 11, but his status for Saturday's game never appeared to be in true jeopardy. The Packers have eased him back into action since, but Lazard could be required to play a key offensive role Saturday given that Jalen Ramsey will likely shadow Davante Adams.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Lazard (core/wrist) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Lazard is following his usual practice routine since his return from core-muscle surgery Week 11. After the Packers had a bye for the first round of the playoffs, Lazard looks to be in a good spot physically, and he should enter the weekend minus a designation for Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Rams.

  • Limited at Tuesday's practice

    Lazard (core/wrist) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice report.

    Analysis: With a week to rest up since the end of the regular season, Lazard continues to be hindered by a pair of injuries. He's still not quite 100 percent recovered from Oct. 1 core muscle surgery, while his wrist issue cropped up over the final two weeks of the campaign. The Packers have yet to unleash him since he returned Week 11 from a stint in IR, resulting in 20 catches (on 29 targets) for 197 yards and one touchdown over the last seven contests.

  • Quiet in finale

    Lazard was targeted four times and caught two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Lazard got off to a hot start in 2020, tallying 254 receiving yards and two scores over his first three games of the season. However, a core injury suffered Week 3 cost him the next six games, and he was not the same afterward, putting up just 197 yards and one touchdown over the last seven weeks. While Lazard is not producing much, he's spending plenty of time on the field, as he finished second among Packers skill players in offensive snaps in both Weeks 16 and 17.

  • Active for Week 17

    Lazard (core/wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Limited practice reps have been the norm since Lazard returned from injured reserve earlier this season, but he hasn't missed a game since Week 11. Though he seems to be in a decent spot health-wise, Lazard has yet to re-establish the form he displayed Weeks 1 through 3, when he accrued 13 receptions for 254 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

  • Another limited session

    Lazard (core/wrist) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Since he returned to the lineup Week 11 following a six-game absence due to core muscle surgery, Lazard has had his practice reps capped. In six contests in the interim, he's only reached 50 receiving yards twice and scored one touchdown on 25 targets. Lazard likely will be available again Sunday at Chicago, but he has yet to show his early season strides from before the procedure.

  • Limited at practice

    Lazard (core/wrist) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

    Analysis: For a second straight week, Lazard's practice reps are capped due to his core and wrist injuries. That said, he handled 62 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Titans, but his output (two catches for 14 yards on two targets) was lacking. Lazard will aim to brush aside his injuries in order to serve as the Packers' No. 2 wide receiver again this weekend in Chicago.

  • Lowest yardage total of season

    Lazard caught both his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Titans.

    Analysis: Lazard was on the field for just 62 percent of the plays the Packers' offense ran Sunday, but he essentially handled a full workload, as the 41 snaps he saw were just six fewer than any other skill player on the roster. While he spent plenty of time on the field, he was not very involved as a receiver, and his 14 yards were his fewest in a game this season. Lazard will close out the regular season against the Bears, a team that has allowed opposing wideouts to find the end zone 11 times over…read more

  • Good to go

    Lazard (core/wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A limited practice participant throughout the week, Lazard never appeared in serious danger of missing Sunday's game. He's averaged just 33.2 yards in five games since returning from injured reserve, but he did catch five of six targets for 56 yards last week, with a 77-percent snap share being his largest since Week 3. Lazard also gets a nice matchup this week, facing a Tennessee defense that's given up the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers.

  • Puts in limited practice

    Lazard (core/wrist) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The Packers have capped Lazard's reps in both of their first two practices of Week 16, but head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't expressed any concern about the receiver's chances of playing Sunday against the Titans. Assuming Lazard is cleared to suit up this weekend, he'll be looking to build on a strong showing in the Packers' win over the Panthers in Week 15. He handled his biggest snap share (77 percent) since Week 3 in that contest, finishing the day with five receptions for 56 yards on six…read more

    Analysis: For the first time since he was activated from injured reserve Week 11, Lazard logged at least 75 percent of the offensive snaps -- 77, to be precise -- in Green Bay's Week 15 win over the Panthers. In the first four games after he was cleared to play following his Oct. 1 core-muscle surgery, Lazard ranged between 46 to 69 percent offensive snap shares. After picking up more work against the Panthers, Lazard is now dealing with a wrist issue along with the core injury that has been attached to…read more

    Lazard recorded five receptions on six targets for 56 yards in Week 15 against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Lazard matched his best target total since returning from a core injury in Week 11. His performance was made impressive by the fact that he finished second on the team in targets while also leading the team in receiving yards. Even after recording receptions of 22, 14 and 12 yards, Lazard's performance was blemished by a drop at the end of the first half that cost the Packers the opportunity to add to their lead. Nevertheless, it was a positive performance for Lazard, and he could be in line…read more

    Analysis: Despite being limited in practice all week, Lazard is ready to roll for a fifth straight game since his lengthy stint on injured reserve due to Oct. 1 core muscle surgery. The Packers have yet to fully unleash Lazard since the procedure, and if his activity level on the field this week is any indication, he may be slated for his usual handful of targets Saturday.

    Lazard (core) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The Packers have restricted Lazard's workload both in games and during practices since he returned from injured reserve Week 11. There's not yet any reason to worry about Lazard's status for Saturday's home game against the Panthers, but as long as he's played below 70 percent of offensive snaps, he'll be difficult to bank on for meaningful fantasy production.

  • Gets limited tag again

    Lazard (core) is listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Lazard has yet to be fully unleashed since he returned from injured reserve, playing between 60 and 69 percent of the snaps on offense in three of four games (in the fourth, it was 46 percent). The results (a 11-110-1 line on 17 targets) haven't approached the early season-form -- 13-254-2 on the same number of targets Weeks 1 through 3 -- he displayed prior to core muscle surgery. It's unclear when the Packers will allow him to log 85-90 percent of those plays again, but when he does he could…read more

  • Workload remains limited

    Lazard was targeted three times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

    Analysis: The Packers have limited Lazard's workload since he returned from an abdominal injury, and that continued Sunday, as he played fewer than 70 percent of the snaps for the fourth game in a row. He will next face a Panthers team that's allowed 10 receiving touchdowns over its last five games, but if Lazard remains limited he will not be able to take full advantage. If you are considering using the wideout in Week 15, be sure to keep tabs on his participation in practice in the coming days. If he…read more

    Lazard (abdomen) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Packers have monitored Lazard's practice reps ever since he came back from core muscle surgery for Week 11. He played 60, 46 and 69 percent of snaps the past three games, catching nine of 14 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown. That's a far cry from what Lazard did earlier this year, but he could get a kickstart from his Week 14 matchup with the feeble Detroit defense. Lazard put up 3-45-0 on five targets when he faced the Lions back in Week 2.

  • Puts in limited practice

    Lazard (core) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

    Analysis: The Packers continue to place a cap on Lazard's practice reps as he puts Oct. 1 core muscle surgery further in the rear-view mirror. During his most recent three-game run, he earned his highest offensive snap share (69 percent) since he returned, resulting in three catches (on four targets) for 50 yards. Look for Lazard to ditch his designation for a third straight week when Green Bay releases its final injury report Friday.

  • Logs limited showing Wednesday

    Lazard (core) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Since his return Week 11 following a six-game absence, Lazard slowly but surely has improved his effectiveness within the Packers offense. Last Sunday against the Eagles, he turned four targets into three receptions for 50 yards while logging 69 percent of the Packers' offensive snaps. Prior to undergoing core-muscle surgery Oct. 1, Lazard earned 87 percent of the snaps on offense, so he may be on the cusp of being a valid No. 2 option behind Davante Adams in Green Bay's passing game.

    Lazard was targeted four times and caught three passes for 50 yards in Sunday's victory over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Lazard has been eased back into action after missing six weeks with a core injury, but he took a step forward in Week 13, as the 50 yards he racked up and the 42 snaps he played were both the most he has recorded since he went down in Week 3. Lazard's modest recent output will give pause to those considering him in playoff lineups, but he will have a chance to do even more in Week 14, as the Packers will face a Lions team that, on a per-game basis, has allowed the second-most yards and…read more

    Lazard (core) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

    Analysis: The Packers capped Lazard's practice reps all week, the residual effect of his Oct. 1 core muscle surgery. In two outings since he returned, his stat lines have been modest, as he's combined for six catches, 41 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets. Still, Lazard ostensibly is the No. 2 wide receiver in the Packers' top-ranked scoring offense (31.7 points per game).

    Lazard (core) was limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Lazard has been quelled since recovering from core muscle surgery, totaling six catches (on 10 targets) for 41 yards and one touchdown over the last two games. His cause wasn't helped when he took a huge hit this past Sunday against the Bears, but he continues to be listed with 'core' on the injury report.

    Lazard (core) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Lazard took a big hit in Sunday's win over the Bears, resulting in him heading to the sideline for a bit. He ended up returning, though, and played 46 percent of the snaps on offense en route to four catches (on six targets) for 23 yards and one touchdown. Lazard has two more opportunities to elevate to full activity in practice before the Packers potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

  • Suffers injury scare in win

    Lazard (core) briefly left Sunday's contest against the Bears after absorbing a huge hit to his chest. The wideout was able to return to the field and finished with four receptions (six targets) for 23 yards and a touchdown in the 41-25 win.

    Analysis: Lazard had just returned from a lengthy layoff due to a core injury, and the wideout suffered a serious scare in the third quarter of Sunday's contest when he was leveled with a legal hit. The wideout was observed by the medical staff but was ultimately cleared to return to action. Lazard had already scored earlier in the contest, and his services weren't required much upon his return with the result settled well before the final whistle.

    Analysis: There remain question marks in Green Bay's receiving corps, but both Davante Adams (ankle) and Lazard were cleared to suit up for this Week 12 NFC North matchup. Meanwhile, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) are listed as questionable, setting the stage for Lazard to earn a snap share (87 percent) similar to the first three games of the season before his core muscle surgery.

    Analysis: Lazard maintained his activity level for a second consecutive session and was joined by fellow limited participants Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee). Meanwhile, Davante Adams (ankle) didn't practice at all. As a result, the Packers' receiving corps will be one to monitor closely to get a sense of the eventual pecking order for Sunday's contest against the Bears.

    Analysis: In his first game action since Week 3 this past Sunday at Indianapolis, Lazard played 60 percent of the offensive snaps on his way to two receptions (on four targets) for 18 yards. The workload and output were a far cry from the first three contests of the season, when he played 87 percent of the offensive snaps and compiled a 13-254-2 line on 17 targets. Clearly, Lazard isn't 100 percent, but he still has two more opportunities to elevate to full activity by the end of the week.

    Lazard was targeted four times and caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Lazard was not expected to handle a full workload Sunday, and that indeed was the case, as he was on the field for a season-low 60 percent of the plays run by the Packers offense. He played 88 percent of the available snaps over the three games he appeared in before going down with a core muscle injury, so his playing time figures to pick up moving forward. Whether his production follows remains to be seen, but there's ample reason for optimism, as Lazard's averages of 18.1 YPC and 13.0 YPT --…read more

    Lazard (core) is active for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Making his long-awaited return to action, Lazard will log his first snaps since undergoing core-muscle surgery Oct. 1. His workload will be of interest, especially after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Lazard will be on a "pitch count." Prior to his six-game absence, Lazard played at least 84 percent of the offensive snaps Weeks 1 through 3 en route to 13 catches (on 17 targets) for 254 yards and two touchdowns.

    Analysis: Final word on his Week 11 status will arrive when Green Bay's inactives are reported prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Per Rapoport, Lazard, who has missed Green Bay's past six games while recovering from core-muscle surgery, will likely be on a "pitch count," as the Packers look to ease the wideout back into the mix. In the three games he played prior to being sidelined, Lazard caught 13 passes (on 17 targets) for 254 yards and two touchdowns.

    Analysis: Working his way back from core muscle surgery, Lazard was a limited participant in every practice this week. He hasn't played since Week 3, so he could be eased back in with a limited role once he's ready to play. A final decision may not come until Sunday when the Packers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 ET kickoff.

Clearly, there's some question about whether he'll be able to make his first appearance since Week 3 on Sunday at Indianapolis, but his status may be cleared up on Friday's injury report. With Davante Adams (ankle) downgrading from limited Wednesday to no reps at all Thursday, the Packers' receiving corps is in some flux at the moment.

  • Manages limited practice Wednesday

    Lazard (core) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Although the Packers activated Lazard from injured reserve Tuesday, he still seems to be easing back to full speed as he approaches his first game action since Week 3. If his conditioning hasn't returned by Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Lazard could take a back seat in the passing game to both Davante Adams (ankle) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. In any case, Lazard's situation will continue to be monitored closely as the week proceeds.

  • Back on active roster

    The Packers activated Lazard (core) from injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: The Packers opened Lazard's 21-day practice window Oct. 28, so they had until Wednesday to bring him back to the active roster. After nearly three weeks of practice to prove he's recovered from Oct. 1 core-muscle surgery, he's been cleared to return and should vie with the surging Marquez Valdes-Scantling right away for No. 2 WR looks behind Davante Adams. Prior to the aforementioned procedure, Lazard totaled 13 catches (on 17 targets) for 254 yards and two touchdowns through three games.

  • Should be activated Wednesday

    Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers will wait until Wednesday's deadline to decide whether to activated Lazard (abdomen) from IR but added that "it's probably promising," Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Lazard officially resumed practicing Oct. 28, so Green Bay's 21-day window for evaluation will come to a close Wednesday. If the team doesn't activate Lazard by then he'll revert to season-ending IR, but it sounds as though LaFleur anticipates getting the 24-year-old wideout back. Once back to full health Lazard stands to reclaim a starting role in Green Bay's receiving corps, but in the short term he may be eased back into action.

  • Not ready to play yet

    Lazard (abdomen) was not activated off injured reserve Saturday and thus will not be able to play Week 10, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Lazard wasn't seen at practice Friday, which seemed to indicate the Packers wouldn't be activating the talented wideout ahead of the team's Week 10 tilt. Expect another dose of Marquez Valdes-Scantling operating as the No. 2 option with Equanimeous St. Brown (knee), Malik Taylor and Darrius Shepherd providing additional depth at the position. It's worth noting the team seems to feel confident Lazard will be ready for Week 11, which would mark his first start since late September.

  • Could be activated Saturday

    Coach Matt LaFleur referred to Lazard (abdomen) as a game-time decision, though the Packers would need to remove the wideout from injured reserve Saturday in order to have him available for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Packers could move Lazard to the active roster and then place him on the gameday inactive list, but it wouldn't be ideal from a strategic standpoint. In all likelihood, they'll make a decision on his Week 10 status by Saturday, at which point Lazard will either stay on IR or be activated. If he does end up playing, it could knock Marquez Valdes-Scantling down to the No. 3 WR role, though not necessarily right out of the gate. It sounds like Lazard should be back for Week 11 even if he…read more

    Lazard (abdomen) isn't practicing Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This is the first practice Lazard has missed since Oct. 28, which was the start of his three-week window to be activated from injured reserve. The Friday absence suggests he may not be back until Week 11, though coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Lazard should have a shot to return for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. Now that it isn't looking so good, Marquez Valdes-Scantling likely will handle the No. 2 WR role for at least one more game.

  • Chance for Week 10 return

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that it's possible Lazard (abdomen) will play against the Jaguars on Sunday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Packers could wait until Week 11 to officially bring Lazard back from IR, due to the length of his 21-day practice window, but LaFleur said he intends to activate the wideout "as soon as [he's] ready to go." The 23-year-old hasn't played since Week 3 while recovering from core-muscle surgery. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) will continue to serve as the top options being Devante Adams if Lazard has to miss any more time.

  • Won't play Week 9

    The Packers don't plan to activate Lazard (core-muscle surgery) ahead of Thursday's game against the 49ers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Though Lazard resumed practicing a little over a week ago and made the trip to San Francisco, the Packers apparently want the wideout to put in some more on-field work before signing off on his return to game action. With Lazard sidelined for a fifth straight game, the Packers will turn to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown as their primary options at receiver beyond top target Davante Adams.

    Lazard (core) joined the Packers for their flight to San Francisco ahead of Thursday's game against the 49ers, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Lazard underwent core-muscle surgery Oct. 1, and the Packers placed him on injured reserve not long after. The team opened his 21-day window to return to the active roster last Wednesday, and after putting in a week's worth of reps, he may be ready to give the Green Bay passing game a boost. Of course, the Packers will need to activate Lazard by 4 p.m. ET on Thursday for him to rejoin his teammates.

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Lazard (core) is drawing closer to a return to action, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. "He wants to be out there in the worst way, and he wishes he was out there yesterday," LaFleur noted. "But we're going to take our time and be smart with him."

    Analysis: Lazard has completed one week of his 21-day window for the Packers to evaluate and eventually clear him for a return to the active roster. He's also only a little more than a month removed from core muscle surgery Oct. 1, so he may be hard-pressed to sway the training staff ahead of Thursday's contest at San Francisco and with Green Bay's next game not coming until Sunday, Nov. 15 against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: There was some hope Lazard could make a return to the field after missing the past three games following core muscle surgery, but the ever-patient Packers will opt to wait another week before bringing back their wide receiver. Look for Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Malik Taylor, Darrius Shepherd and Equanimeous St. Brown to fill in the gaps behind No. 1 wideout and frequent target Davante Adams.

A third consecutive day of practice participation suggests Lazard has a shot to play, perhaps even reclaiming his starting spot across from Davante Adams.

He underwent core muscle surgery on Oct. 1, after which he was given a recovery timetable of "a month or a little bit more," per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

    Analysis: Since he's already missed three games after having core-muscle surgery in early October, Lazard is eligible to return from IR, but the Packers have yet to decide if he'll be fit to play Sunday against the Vikings. The Packers have taken cautious approaches this season with key players working through injuries in Davante Adams and Aaron Jones, and Lazard may fall in the same category as Green Bay's clear No. 2 wideout.

Since he's already missed three games since being placed on IR earlier this month after undergoing core-muscle surgery, Lazard is eligible to be added to the 53-man roster at any point.

    Analysis: Lazard can't officially rejoin the Packers for practice since he isn't yet eligible to return from injured reserve, but his involvement with the rehab group is at least a tangible sign of progress for the wideout. He was initially projected to miss about a month after undergoing core-muscle surgery earlier in October, so Lazard could have an outside shot at being ready to play as soon as Week 9, when Green Bay travels to San Francisco for a Thursday night game.

There's no telling when he'll return to full health, but for the time being Green Bay's offense will be without one of its key skill-position players.

    Analysis: Coming off the best performance of his career Sunday at New Orleans -- a 6-146-1 line on eight targets -- Lazard could be in line for an absence if a procedure is recommended. Thus, the Packers will play the waiting game in the short term, while top wide receiver Davante Adams continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury. Beyond Adams and Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Darrius Shepherd and Malik Taylor compose Green Bay's group of wideouts.

Just a few days later, though, he's tending to a health concern of unknown severity. Considering the nature of the injury, Lazard could be in line for an absence Monday versus the Falcons.

    Analysis: With Davante Adams (hamstring) out of the lineup this past Sunday, Lazard served as the Packers' No. 1 wide receiver and torched the Saints to the tune of six catches (on eight targets) for 146 yards and one touchdown. Until his apparent absence Thursday, there was no indication Lazard was tending to an injury. Meanwhile, Adams was back on the field Thursday, so Green Bay's WR situation will be one to monitor as the week goes on.

  • Breaks out on SNF

    Lazard had six receptions (eight targets) for 146 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-30 win over New Orleans.

    Analysis: Lazard assumed the role of Aaron Rodgers' favorite target with Davante Adams (hamstring) missing the contest. The 24-year-old came through with flying colors, setting new career highs in receptions (six) and yards (146). It's unclear whether Adams will be able to return for next Monday's matchup against the Falcons, but Lazard had already secured the No. 2 wideout role in Green Bay, making him a strong fantasy play against a porous Falcons secondary even if the former is a go.

    Analysis: Once again, Lazard was slightly outplayed by Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who had three catches for 64 yards on seven targets. Both wide receivers could take on more prominent roles against the Saints in Week 3, as No. 1 wideout Davante Adams left Sunday's game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury.

    Lazard secured all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 43-34 win over the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed once for 19 yards.

    Analysis: Lazard secured the No. 2 receiver job this summer over fellow incumbent Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and although both receivers enjoyed strong days Sunday, the former did nothing to lose his grip on his role with his performance. Lazard's scoring grab came from four yards out with 10:02 remaining and essentially put the game out of reach by extending what had been a 29-18 lead.

They could still add another body before Week 1, but the current depth chart shows Lazard competing with the likes of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Equanimeous St. Brown and Jake Kumerow, i.e., the same group of guys he outclassed last season.

    Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently referred to Lazard as "an ascending player" and a great teammate, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky reports.

    Analysis: Famously fickle with his pass catchers, Rodgers seems to have taken a liking to Lazard, a 2018 UDFA who latched on with the Packers at the end of his rookie season and then caught 35 passes in 2019 (all after Week 5). He was quiet in the playoffs with only four targets and 36 receiving yards in three games, but prior to that, Lazard averaged 3.2 catches for 43.4 yards on 4.7 targets over the final 11 weeks of the regular season.

    Analysis: After receiving the tender in March, Lazard couldn't go anywhere else, and following the NFL Draft, he remains the No. 2 wide receiver in the Green Bay offense. Beyond Davante Adams, there's a void waiting to be filled in the passing attack, and Lazard has a rapport with Aaron Rodgers, having accrued 34 catches (on 51 targets) for 470 yards and three touchdowns from the QB in 16 games last season.

As evidence, he logged limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before finishing the week with a 'full' tag. While he had a five-yard rush and otherwise wasn't targeted last Sunday against the Seahawks, Lazard's target share in the final 11 contests of the regular season amounted to 4.7 per game.

    Analysis: Lazard was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, with no hint of serious concern about his Week 17 status. He's emerged from the pack as Green Bay's No. 2 wide receiver, playing 78 and 75 percent of offensive snaps the past two games, including a career-high nine targets in last week's 23-10 win over Minnesota. The role does come with a degree of upside, but Davante Adams and Aaron Jones are still the only reliable sources of volume in the Packers offense.

    Analysis: The Packers have yet to hold a true practice this week, instead releasing an estimated report Wednesday before going through a pair of walk-throughs Thursday. On a positive note, Lazard has logged some activity to date as he deals with an ankle issue. Assuming he ditches the injury when Friday's practice report is posted, he's a great bet to continue logging the second-most offensive snaps among Packers wide receivers behind Davante Adams.

  • Appears on Week 17 injury report

    Lazard was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report with an ankle injury, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The Packers didn't actually hold a practice for Christmas Day, but Lazard's appearance on the report suggests he's at least a little banged up coming out of Monday's 23-10 win over the Vikings, during which he nabbed five of nine targets for 45 yards. If Lazard is able to upgrade to full participation by Friday, he should enter Sunday's regular-season finale versus Detroit minus an injury designation.

  • Busy in Week 16 win

    Lazard secured five of nine targets for 45 yards in the Packers' 23-10 win over the Vikings on Monday night.

    Analysis: Lazard was a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Davante Adams, but the fact he saw a career-high nine looks was certainly encouraging. The second-year wideout has enjoyed a modest but steady role in the offense since Week 6, notching multiple receptions in eight of his last nine contests and even generating the first 100-yard effort of his career in Week 13 against the Giants. Lazard will look to remain similarly productive in a favorable matchup against the porous…read more

  • Works as clear No. 2 receiver

    Lazard was targeted three times and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: It was another quiet day for Lazard, who finished with fewer than 30 total yards for the fourth time in five games. Despite the lack of production, Lazard has been the Packers' second-best option at wide receiver of late, and his snap count finally backed that up in Week 15 as he played the second-most snaps among Packers receivers -- 14 more than No. 3 WR Geronimo Allison -- for the first time since Davante Adams returned to action in Week 9. With little doubt about his standing heading into…read more

  • Minimal output in victory

    Lazard was targeted three times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over Washington.

    Analysis: Lazard caught two passes in a three-play sequence late in the second quarter, but he was otherwise shut down a week after topping 100 yards and finding the end zone against the Giants. Outside of the big Week 13 showing, Lazard has not topped 44 yards in a game since Week 6 and still is playing only around half the offensive snaps each week. That will make him tough to trust Week 15, even against a Bears defense that has been below average against opposing wide receivers since Week 10.

  • Burns Giants early

    Lazard caught all three of his targets for 103 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-13 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The Packers obviously saw something they liked with Lazard's early matchups. The rookie made a diving 43-yard grab on the Packers' opening drive and then came back with a 37-yard touchdown on the team's second go-around for his first touchdown since Week 6. The big-bodied receiver now has five catches of 20 or more yards this season despite just 22 total receptions. Next up is a Washington defense that, despite some warts, has held opponents to just 10.9 yards per catch, ninth best in the…read more

  • Shut down in Week 12

    Lazard caught one pass for seven yards and had one carry for 21 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Lazard's reception came on a pass from Tim Boyle after starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers had already been removed from the game, so on snaps that mattered, he was essentially limited to just the one long run. He will have a chance to bounce back Week 13 against a Giants secondary that is routinely beaten by opposing wide receivers, but he will be tough to trust, failing to top 44 yards or score a touchdown in any game since his Week 6 breakout performance.

  • Seeing fewer snaps

    Lazard was targeted six times and caught three passes for 27 yards in Sunday's victory over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Lazard's six targets trailed only Davante Adams among Packers skill players, but he was unable to do much for fantasy players, finishing with his fewest yards in a game since bursting onto the scene in Week 7. Lazard has averaged just under five targets per game since that same Week 7 contest, but he has steadily lost playing time, as his snap-count percentage fell Sunday for the third straight game. Lazard and the Packers will be on bye in Week 11 before returning to action in Week 12 in a…read more

  • Leading receiver in loss

    Lazard caught three of four targets for a team-high 44 yards in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: The Packers left their offense at home when they flew west, and Lazard's 17-yard grab in the fourth quarter ended up being the team's longest play from scrimmage. It was encouraging to see the second-year receiver maintain his usual volume even with Davante Adams back in the lineup, and Lazard may have done enough to establish himself as Aaron Rodgers' No. 2 WR going forward.
