• Packers' Bo Melton: Lone catch goes for TD

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Melton had one reception on two targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens. Melton cashed in one of Green Bay's two passing touchdowns in a 30-7 exhibition win. The 25-year-old had one receiving touchdown across five regular-season games played last season. Melton could find himself in a similar role as a reserve wideout this upcoming season, which is to say he shouldn't warrant much fantasy consideration in standard drafts.

• Packers' Bo Melton: Makes two receptions

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Melton was targeted three times and caught two passes for 10 yards in Sunday's preseason game against the Broncos. Melton garnered a start Sunday with the Packers holding out their top four wideouts, and he secured two of the three passes thrown his direction. Melton likely has a roster spot locked up thanks to his performance late last season, but barring an injury to a fellow pass catcher, he will be no higher than the fifth option at his position.

• Packers' Bo Melton: Back in complementary role

  01/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Melton was targeted twice and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys. Melton was busy late in the regular season, but with the four receivers ahead of him on the depth chart all suiting up Sunday for the first time since Week 13, he was back in a complementary role. He did play 22 of a possible 56 snaps, which was just one fewer than Christian Watson, who finished fourth among Packers wideouts in snaps. Melton could be involved to some degree in Green Bay's divisional-round matchup with the 49ers, but if Watson's snap count picks up it could come at Melton's expense.

• Packers' Bo Melton: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

  01/02/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  We'll see who's healthy at receiver for the Packers this week, but Christian Watson (hamstring), Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are all dealing with injuries heading into Week 18 against Chicago. Melton has stepped up in each of the past two games with 10 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets, and he could be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues if Watson, Reed and Wicks all remain out against the Bears.

• Packers' Bo Melton: Signed to active roster

  01/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Packers signed Melton from their practice squad to their active roster Monday. Melton had a breakout performance in Sunday's win over Minnesota, nabbing six of nine targets for 105 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight productive week, as the wideout caught four of six targets for 44 yards and added a seven-yard rush Week 16 against Carolina. Melton stepped into the No. 2 receiver role in the second half Sunday after Jayden Reed exited due to a chest injury, and the former could again play a major role Week 18 versus Chicago if Reed is unable to return for the critical matchup that could determine whether the Packers qualify for the postseason. Green Bay has other injuries among its wideout corps as well, as Christian Watson has missed four straight contests due to a strained right hamstring, and Dontayvion Wicks sat out against the Vikings with chest and ankle injuries.
