Coach Mike McCarthy said on Friday that Jennings was closer to returning that he was last week and added that he hoped Jennings would return for Week 8. The Packers face the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
Fantasy Football: This has been expected, as Jennings has not practiced all week. It’s encouraging to hear that he’s closer to returning but at this point fantasy owners will believe it when they see it.
Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Randall Cobb will again be the primary targets for the Packers at receiver. Green Bay threw six touchdown passes last week and may have to put the ball up again in Week 7 against the Rams. Nelson and Jones should be in most lineups this week, while Cobb is more of a flex play.
