Alex Green missed practice Friday, but is listed as probable for Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers, the Green Bay Press Gazette reports. Green is still recovering from a torn ACL, but will likely be available for the season opener. He is currently the No. 2 back on the Packers' depth chart with James Starks out with a turf toe injury.
Alex Green Sits Friday, But Listed Probable For Packers Opener: Fantasy Implications
Alex Green missed practice Friday, but is listed as probable for Sunday’s opener between the Packers and the 49ers. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Cedric Benson will likely carry the load Sunday with the rest of the Packers' running back corps banged up. Green shouldn't see much of the field except perhaps in short-yardage or as a third-down back. A stout 49ers defensive front isn't the best matchup for Benson or Green, however, especially within a pass-first offense.
