Golden didn't catch either of his two targets but rushed twice for 15 yards in Thursday's 27-18 win over the Commanders. He also had one punt return for minus-2 yards.

The rookie first-round pick just missed bringing in a touchdown on one of his two targets, but the play was broken up by an outstanding effort from cornerback Trey Amos. Golden hasn't managed to carve out a substantial role yet in a deep Packers receiving corps, though he could get more opportunities as soon as Week 3 against the Browns in the absence of Jayden Reed, who broke his collarbone in Thursday's win. Golden's 59 percent snap share Thursday was second behind Romeo Doubs' 74 percent among Green Bay's wide receivers and represented a slight uptick from his 48 percent mark from Week 1.

Wicks brought in four of six targets for 44 yards in the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

Wicks appeared to benefit from Jayden Reed's first-quarter exit due to a shoulder injury, as the former finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Tucker Kraft. The third-year pro outpaced both Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden by one- and four-target margins, and it remains to be seen if he'll remain a primary beneficiary beginning with a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept 21 after Reed was diagnosed with a broken collarbone that's expected to land him on injured reserve, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com.

Doubs brought in three of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

Doubs was third in both targets and receptions on the night for the Packers, tying with running back Chris Brooks in the latter category. The veteran wideout saw Jayden Reed exit the game in the first quarter due to what was labeled as a shoulder injury at the time, but Doubs saw only one more target than he had Sunday against the Lions. Nevertheless, Doubs managed to record a five-yard touchdown grab in the opening period to give his fantasy production a much-needed boost, and he'll be due for an expanded role beginning with a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21 due to Reed having been diagnosed with a broken collarbone, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com.

Samuel secured seven of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown and returned two kickoffs for 78 yards in the Commanders' 27-18 loss to the Packers on Thursday night.

The Commanders' air attack was mostly stuck in neutral for a significant portion of the night, but Samuel was able to offer some solace to fantasy managers by recording 12- and 10-yard grabs on Washington's final scoring drive. The latter play also resulted in Samuel's second touchdown in as many games in a Commanders uniform, and he's now encouragingly logged 18 targets through his first two games with Jayden Daniels. Samuel next takes aim at the Raiders defense in a Week 3 home matchup on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Reed suffered a broken collarbone in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Commanders, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Reed fell hard on his right shoulder in the end zone in the first quarter of Thursday's game and was quickly ruled out. Coach Matt LaFleur said that Reed will miss "a lot" of time, and that he'll land on injured reserve. Reed is expected to return at some point during the regular season, but he'll be sidelined until at least late October and almost certainly longer.

McLaurin secured five of nine targets for 48 yards in the Commanders' 27-18 loss to the Packers on Thursday night.

McLaurin finished third in receptions and second in receiving yards on the Commanders for the night, while also setting the pace in targets. As a whole, his collection of numbers certainly represented a nice boost from his 2-27-0 line on four targets Week 1 against the Giants, but through two games, the Commanders' passing game has been relatively conservative. McLaurin and Jayden Daniels will have some extra time to reestablish chemistry ahead of a Week 3 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Brown was ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Packers due to a groin injury.

Brown departed Thursday's game with a groin issue in the third quarter but was ruled out quickly. The severity of the issue is unclear, though he will have a few extra days to recover ahead of Washington's Week 3 matchup against the Raiders.

Brown is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Packers due to a groin injury, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.

Brown seems to have suffered the injury in the third quarter, though the exact cause and nature of the injury are unclear. He had one catch for nine yards prior to his departure.

Reed (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Commanders.

Reed exited the contest early in the first quarter after landing hard on his shoulder on a touchdown catch that was nullified by a penalty. There's no additional word on the severity of his injury, but he presumably will undergo imaging with updates to come either later Thursday or Friday. Reed was spotted with a sling on his right shoulder on the sideline in the second half, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Reed is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Commanders after suffering a shoulder injury in the first quarter, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official sitereports.

Reed made a catch in the corner of the end zone on Green Bay's first possession, but the score was nullified by a penalty. To make matters worse, he immediately grabbed his shoulder and was slow to get up. Reed was spotted walking into the locker room with trainers, clearly favoring his shoulder area.
