The 2025 third round pick is getting some attention in camp
The Packers have added a wide receiver to the roster for the second time in as many days. They announced that they have claimed Chris Hilton off of waivers. They signed Kisean Johnson as a free agent on Sunday. Hilton signed with the Commanders after going undrafted this year and was waived over the weekend. He spent the last five years at LSU and had 41 catches for 780 yards during his time in Baton Rouge. Hilton and Johnson join Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Savion Williams, Skyy Moore, Bo Melton, Will Sheppard, Isaiah Neyor, Kaden Prather, and J. Michael Sturdivant on the receiver depth chart in Green Bay
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams was a standout during the team's training camp practice on Sunday, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. "I think he was seven of eight catching the football. I think he had a good day," head coach Matt LaFleur said. The 24-year-old was able to turn some heads with both Jayden Reed (ankle) and Matthew Golden (toe) sitting out with minor injuries. Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks are no longer in Green Bay in 2026, but Williams is still no better than fourth on the team's WR depth chart going into his second NFL season behind Reed, Golden, and Christian Watson. After being taken 87th overall in the third round last year from TCU, Williams caught all 10 of his targets for 78 yards and one touchdown while carrying the ball 11 times for 37 yards on the ground in 12 regular-season games for the Packers. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues will be ignoring Williams, but he could quickly become a waiver-wire priority if Green Bay deals with injuries to their starting receivers again
With two top receivers banged up, the second-year pro stepped in and delivered multiple big plays on Sunday
Williams, per head coach Matt LaFleur, "had a good day" at Sunday's practice session, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site. Williams saw added opportunities with both Jayden Reed (ankle) and Matthew Golden (toe) sitting out, and he capitalized by hauling in nearly every pass thrown his direction. Williams didn't do a lot in his 2025 rookie season and remains behind both receivers already mentioned as well as Christian Watson in the pecking order, but he is the favorite to head into Week 1 with the fourth spot on the depth chart

Rookies are to report today to Green Bay for the Packers’ 2026 training camp, and the team will host its shareholders’ meeting on Monday, as long as the weather permits. So with our full attention moving forward now on training camp, I want to revisit our series breaking down every positional unit on the Packers’ roster. Below are links to each of these articles, including the two biggest questions each unit faces entering 2026. Will the team open the passing game up more? Is Tyrod Taylor going to be the backup? Will Josh Jacobs be suspended in 2026? Will MarShawn Lloyd stay healthy this year? How does the offense operate with two smaller receivers in Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden ? Will Savion Williams step up as WR4? When will Tucker Kraft come back? Will Luke Musgrave be the backup Y? When will Zach Tom come back? Can Anthony Belton take the next step at guard? Will Javon Hargrave play defensive end or nose tackle? Who will be the third starting defensive lineman? Who will replace Micah Parsons opposite Lukas Van Ness this year? How many weeks will Parsons actually miss in the regular season? How much Penny or Dime will the Packers play under Jonathan Gannon? Are there ways to get Edgerrin Cooper on the field in those “one-linebacker” sets? Who will start opposite Keisean Nixon in 2026? Will the team keep six on the 53-man roster? Will the team only keep four safeties, with Kitan Oladapo being the backup safety and slot? If not, who is going to emerge as the fifth safety?

Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams is expected to take a step forward in his second year, with QB Jordan Love highlighting him as a player poised for a jump. Williams, a third-round pick in 2025, had a limited but efficient rookie season, catching all 10 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown, and adding 37 rushing yards. With Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks gone, Williams could see a larger role, especially considering the team is one injury away from needing him as a primary contributor. He is currently projected as WR4 behind Watson, Reed, and Golden

Our countdown of the 10 best plays of the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 season continues with a go-ahead touchdown to help the team earn a victory on the road. The Green Bay Packers came out of their Week 5 bye week by reeling off a three-game winning streak, defeating the Bengals, Cardinals and Steelers . The Week 8 Steelers game was one of the Packers’ best offensive performances of the season, with Jordan Love completing 20 straight passes in front of Aaron Rodgers : the man he sat behind for 3 years. (Love’s EPA in the Steelers game was +16.3, second only to his +21.7 performance against the Cowboys in Week 4.) After that high, the Packers dropped their next two, scoring a combined 20 points against the Panthers and the Eagles in Lambeau Field. So they packed up and headed to MetLife Stadium at 5-3-1 to face the 2-8 Giants . The Packers led for most of the game, but it was not a particularly pretty game. The Giants hung in and took advantage late, going on a 15 play, 85 yard drive touchdown drive to open the 4th quarter, taking a 20-19 lead in the process. The kickoff was a touchback, giving the Packers the ball on their own 35 with 7:22 remaining in the game. The Packers gained 48 yards on 7 plays (including a 33 yard pass to Savion Williams on a 3rd & 10), and now faced 2nd & 7 at the Giants 17 yard line. The Packers come out in 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR) in a 2×2 shotgun spread formation. On the right side, John FitzPatrick is on the outside while Christian Watson is in the slot. On the left, Romeo Doubs is the front man in a stack, with Matthew Golden underneath. On the left, they’re running a pick-play for Emanuel Wilson out of the backfield and a delayed in-cutter from Doubs. On the right, they’re running Smash Fade, with FitzPatrick running a quick-hitch and Watson running a deep fade over the top. The Giants are showing a single-high safety pre-snap. Given the fact that the Giants’ defense didn’t disguise their defense much last season, it’s safe to assume that they’ll be running a single-high defense post-snap. The fade to Watson is a good answer to that coverage, so that’s where Love is looking to go. The snap is high and to Love’s left, which causes him to double-catch the snap. Between the single-high look, the high snap and the pressure that had been in Love’s face all day (the 44.4% pressure rate was the second-highest rate Love faced up to that point in the season), Love knows he has to get rid of the ball quickly, but he still makes sure to check the coverage. The Giants stay in single-high coverage and the boundary defender widens with FitzPatrick, so Love takes the fade to Watson. The boundary defender is able to fall back under Watson, but the throw from Love is high-and-outside. Watson goes up over two defenders to bring in the pass and the go-ahead TD. The Packers get the two-point conversion to take a 27-20 lead with 4:02 remaining in the game. That touchdown ended up being the last score of the game for either team. The Giants put together a 10-play, 51-yard drive to get in the Packers red zone with less than a minute remaining, but an Evan Williams interception ended that drive. The Giants got the ball back on their own 35 with 10 seconds remaining, but Micah Parsons slammed the door. The Packers won this game 27-20, helping to kick off a four-game winning streak (after this they won games against the Vikings, Lions and Bears).

Matt LaFleur 's Packers seem to strive for good, but never great. They are not nearly aggressive enough and they too often take their foot all the way off the gas after seizing a lead. Even a soulless, agnostic NFL observer like me finds great pain in LaFleur's approach. I feel for the cheeseheads among us. Points per game: 23 (16th) Total yards per game: 333 (15th) Plays per game: 59.4 (25th) Dropbacks per game: 35 (29th) Dropback EPA per play: 0.27 (2nd) Designed rush attempts per game: 27.3 (8th) Rush EPA per play: -0.07 (21st) So, the question headed into 2026, LaFleur's eighth season at the helm, will be whether the Packers are ready to operate like the ultra-aggressive, win-now, win-always Lions and Bears, coached by men for whom no lead is enough. That LaFleur plays these two throat-stepping teams twice a season every season has been a problem. QB: Jordan Love , Tyrod Taylor WR: Christian Watson , Savion Williams WR: Jayden Reed , Bo Melton WR: Matthew Golden , Skyy Moore TE: Tucker Kraft , Luke Musgrave LaFleur seems to have taken his players’ grades to heart. Last year LaFleur, after losing to the despised Bears in the Wild Card round, was given one of the NFL’s lowest player grades. Romeo Doubs appeared all too happy to hit the road for New England during free agency, and Dontayvion Wicks wasn’t exactly heartbroken to escape Green Bay for the Eagles. LaFleur in late March acknowledged the organization-wide discontent and spoke to reporters about the issues plaguing his team. “If I’m being honest about it, I think there were some guys that were upset about roles last year, and I think that took a toll on our football team,” LaFleur said. “You need guys that bring great energy every day. I think from a coaching standpoint, role clarity is key, so we’ve got to obviously do a better job communicating with our players, ‘Hey, here’s your role and if you’re unhappy about your role, it’s on you to do something about that, to carve out a role on this football team.’ But yeah, the buy-in is absolutely critical. Getting guys in there that are juiced and ready to go to work each and every day is gonna be critical for us.” Later that same day, the immaculately-groomed Green Bay head coach dropped this little nugget, which — in one Rotoworld blogger’s opinion — has not received enough attention in real or fantasy football circles in the subsequent months. LaFleur, orchestrator of one of the league’s most reliably efficient offenses, said the Packers would “strip everything down and start like it’s Year 1 all over again” in 2026. “I just think reinstalling and trying to go through — it might take a little bit more time — but really get into the details because that’s usually the separator.” We could — if LaFleur was serious about starting again on offense — see a far more pass-heavy Packers offense this season. This would hinge on the team finally allowing Jordan Love to cook a year after he ranked second in EPA per drop back, trailing only Drake Maye . Not everyone is sold on the idea of a major overhaul of the Green Bay offense. That includes Jason Hirschhorn , writer and analyst for The Leap , an excellent Packers-focused newsletter. 'More Granular Focus' "When LaFleur mentions going back to the start, I suspect he means in terms of instruction and installation of the offense rather than a complete rethink of what the system looks like and how it works," Hirschhorn told me, adding that the team's passing offense has "lacked detail" in recent seasons. "Like most of the Kyle Shanahan -influenced schemes in the NFL, mastering the little nuances unlocks everything (marrying run and pass concepts so they present identically to the defense before the snap, syncing up timing between route depth and a QB's dropback, and so forth). These are the details that, at least in my reading of LaFleur's words, the Packers believe will need a more granular focus akin to a Year 1 install." A massively pass-heavy Packers offense, [... truncated ...]
With minicamp now over and the veterans out for summer break, let’s take another stab at the 53-man roster. I don’t think too much has changed since our post-draft prediction , and there wasn’t anything earth-shattering at minicamp ( outside of Micah Parsons announcing that he will start the year on the PUP list ), but maybe there are some small tweaks that could sway the roster one way or another. Below is my prediction, as it stands today: QB: Jordan Love and Tyrod Taylor RB: Josh Jacobs , Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd WR: Christian Watson , Matthew Golden , Jayden Reed , Savion Williams , Bo Melton and Skyy Moore TE: Tucker Kraft , Luke Musgrave and Josh Whyle OL: Jordan Morgan , Aaron Banks , Sean Rhyan , Anthony Belton , Zach Tom , Darian Kinnard , Travis Glover , Jager Burton, Jacob Monk and John Williams iDL: Devonte Wyatt , Javon Hargrave , Karl Brooks , Chris McClellan, Warren Brinson and Nazir Stackhouse ( Jordon Riley starts year on PUP) EDGE: Lukas Van Ness , Barryn Sorrell , Brenton Cox Jr. , Dani Dennis-Sutton and Collin Oliver (Micah Parsons starts year on PUP) LB: Zaire Franklin , Edgerrin Cooper, Isaiah McDuffie , Ty’Ron Hopper and Nick Niemann CB: Keisean Nixon , Carrington Valentine , Brandon Cisse, Benjamin St-Juste , Domani Jackson and Kamal Hadden S: Xavier McKinney , Evan Williams , Javon Bullard and Kitan Oladapo K: Trey Smack P: Daniel Whelan LS: Matt Orzech At receiver, I think it’s worth mentioning that Isaiah Neyor , who got in the playoff game against the Chicago Bears after previously being a member of the practice squad for the entire 2025 season, has been drawing praise from head coach Matt LaFleur and has been making plays in shirts and shorts season. Maybe he’ll push Skyy Moore, who has been injured as of late, for that final roster spot — if the team can find an alternative punt returner. Generally, the rookies are more involved at this point in the offseason than usual, with guard Jager Burton, defensive tackle Chris McClellan and cornerback Brandon Cisse all getting reps with the first-team units. With that being said, each of those positions has at least one veteran who was held out of minicamp with injury, so they might not be rotating with the first-teams once training camp starts.
