Donald Driver injury: Probable status could make him fantasy worthy in Week 8

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver is probable in Week 8. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

Jeff Hanisch-US PRESSWIRE

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver has been listed as "probable" by the team on Friday's injury report. The Packers veteran pass-catcher was limited on Wednesday, but practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. Driver has been bothered with a neck injury but should be expected to go today versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Driver may have to step up in Week 8 with a banged up receiving corps. With Greg Jennings listed as out and Jordy Nelson questionable with a hamstring injury, Driver could see more time on Sunday.

Fantasy Analysis: Driver looks to be the one veteran receiver for Green Bay that is fully healthy. After disappearing in most fantasy formats, Driver could be a viable flex-option in Week 8, with a banged up receiving corps. He could be expected to get more looks today versus the Jaguars, who have a questionable defense at best.

When Aaron Rodgers needs a sure-handed go-to-guy, it's typically Driver. Feel free to take a gamble on Driver this week in deeper fantasy leagues.
