Ian Hartitz is joined by Eli Berkovits, who covers the Packers for 247 Sports and
Packer Report and co-hosts the Pack-A-Day Podcast, to work through the fantasy
questions that actually decide your draft in Green Bay.

Boots on the ground beats a depth chart. Eli has been at camp, so this is what he
has seen with his own eyes rather than what the box score says.

Some of what came out of it:

MarShawn Lloyd looks explosive and is making plays as a receiver, and with Josh
Jacobs out he is the running back right now. He played 11 snaps in the one
preseason game and turned them into four targets and six rush attempts, and he is
still basically free at the end of Yahoo and ESPN drafts.

When Jacobs is back it stays his show, especially at the goal line, but Eli does
not rule out something closer to a committee than the last two years. LaFleur has
the history for it, going back to Dion Lewis and Derrick Henry in Tennessee and
then Jones, Williams and Dillon in Green Bay.

On the receivers: Doubs and Wicks leaving has cleared the room out. When Eli was
at camp, Matthew Golden looked like Jordan Love's first read on roughly 70% of
plays. Watson is still his top target, Golden his next, then Reed. And the Jayden
Reed two-tight-end dream has a hard number attached to it: Fantasy Points has him
at one career target in those looks.

On the offense: LaFleur has emphasized getting to the line faster, and he told NFL
Network that Love is the best pre-snap processor at calling out protections he has
been around, Rodgers included.

And Tucker Kraft, back from the knee, passed the eye test. Eli calls him "a
legitimate psychopath, in the best way possible", has him TE4 for 2026 behind
Bowers, McBride and Loveland, and says he is the one Packer he wants in his drafts
this year.

Plus a bold call to finish that has nothing to do with Green Bay.
