Kraft secured six of seven targets for 124 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

Kraft led Packers pass catchers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets while authoring his first career 100-yard game, and Jayden Reed's first-quarter exit with a shoulder injury undoubtedly created some extra opportunity. The third-year tight end also had a game-high 57-yard reception on the third play of Green Bay's second drive of the night, and he struck for his second touchdown in as many games via an eight-yard scoring grab with just under nine minutes remaining in the contest. Kraft displayed plenty of field-stretching ability during a breakout 2024 season as well, so he'll remain a highly appealing play in all formats in a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Jacobs rushed 23 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and wasn't targeted during the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

The workhorse back was the only Packers running back to log a carry, and Jacobs worked hard for his yards all night considering he had a game-long run of just 10 yards. Jacobs also went in for his second touchdown in as many games on a two-yard run just before the midway point of the second quarter, rounding out his fantasy performance in solid fashion. After logging 43 touches in the first five days of the new season, the veteran back now will get some extra time to ramp up for a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Daniels completed 24 of 42 passes for 200 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding seven rushes for 17 yards in the Commanders' 27-18 loss to the Packers on Thursday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass.

Daniels' final line was serviceable from a fantasy perspective, but the second-year signal-caller compiled a portion of his numbers against a Packers defense playing to protect a relatively comfortable lead. He managed to avoid any turnovers and made matters somewhat interesting by helming a 10-play, 65-yard march that he capped with a 10-yard touchdown toss to Deebo Samuel in the latter portion of the fourth quarter, while adding a two-point conversion toss to Luke McCaffrey on the following play. Daniels previously also connected with Zach Ertz from 20 yards out for his first scoring pass of the night early in the fourth quarter, and he was a bit more productive when targeting Terry McLaurin (5-48-0) than in the opener against the Giants. Daniels and the Commanders now get some extra time to prepare for a Week 3 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Love completed 19 of 31 passes for 292 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding three rushes for 12 yards in the Packers' 27-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.

Love's 9.4 yards per attempt tells the story of his ability to pierce the Commanders secondary for chunk plays throughout the night, despite losing Jayden Reed to a shoulder injury in the first quarter on a touchdown pass nullified by penalty. Love's notable completions included 23- and 57-yard connections with tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, respectively, as well as a 37-yard strike to Malik Heath. Meanwhile, Romeo Doubs (five yards) and Kraft (eight yards) were on the receiving end of Love's pair of scoring tosses, and the quarterback finished the night having connected with six different pass catchers overall. Love now has a 4:0 TD:INT and six completions of 20-plus yards through two games, affording him massive momentum heading into a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Jones (hamstring) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Packers.

Jones appears to have suffered a hamstring injury in the second half versus Green Bay, causing his status for the rest of the game to be up in the air. In his absence, Noah Igbinoghene stands to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

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.
