John Kuhn injury update: ‘Out’ in Week 8, fantasy owners unaffected
Green Bay Packers full back John Kuhn is listed as out in Week 8. We breakdown the fantasy implications.

Kuhn’s status should not greatly affect the Packers’ chances on winning today. This is very much a pass-first offense, where Kuhn is just a luxury.
Fantasy Analysis: The Packers’ fullback is a strategy play by fantasy owners when healthy. His appeal comes in deeper leagues, with the hopes that the Packers will pound it in with him at the goal line or throw to him in the flat in red zone situations. However, it’s a high-risk play any time Kuhn is in your starting lineup.
Luckily, daring fantasy owners won't have to make that decision this week. The Packers will be without Kuhn, so if you're looking for a high-risk, low-reward fantasy option on Green Bay, start Jermichael Finley.
