Allen Lazard Scores Two Touchdowns In Week 18

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard had a big day on Sunday, finishing with five catches for 75 yards during the loss to the Lions. He also had two scores on the afternoon, accounting for both of Aaron Rodgers' two touchdown tosses. It's no secret Davante Adams is the clear-cut No. 1 option on the receiving end. However, DFS managers need to pay attention to Lazard in postseason contests, primarily since he has five touchdowns throughout his previous five games.

Allen Lazard Hits Paydirt In Win Over Vikings

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard hauled in all six of his targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. QB Aaron Rodgers found Lazard for a 20-yard touchdown strike to give the Packers a 13-0 lead. The 26-year-old has been productive recently as the Packers' secondary option behind star Davante Adams, catching three touchdowns over his last four games. Green Bay has nothing to play for against the Detroit Lions with the No.1 seed locked up; it remains unclear how much playing time Lazard will see in Week 18.

Allen Lazard Finds The End Zone In Win Over Cleveland

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught two of five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for 13 yards in Saturday's 24-22 win over the Cleveland Browns. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers connected with Lazard for an 11-yard score for his 443rd career touchdown pass, breaking Brett Favre's franchise record. Lazard almost had a second score but dropped the touchdown pass while being draped by a defender in the second quarter. The 26-year-old has caught a touchdown in two of his last three games. Marquez Valdes-Scantling (COVID-19) is expected to return; Lazard should see a lesser role in next Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Lazard is a boom-or-bust WR4/5 for fantasy managers in Week 17.

Allen Lazard - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard is expected to have an expanded role in the Christmas Day game against the Cleveland Browns with Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The 26-year-old almost scored two touchdowns in the Week 15 win over the Baltimore Ravens, but QB Aaron Rodgers misfired twice on both occasions. Cleveland hasn't fared well against the opponent's secondary targets and ranks 24th in DVOA versus WR2s. He's caught 27 passes for 321 yards and four touchdowns over 12 games in 2021. Lazard has only topped 50 yards twice this season but is expected to see an uptick in targets and can be considered a WR3/4 in a plus matchup against the Browns.

Allen Lazard - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught six passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. He will look to build on last Sunday's performance in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. The team's secondary receivers have shredded Baltimore and rank 27th in DVOA versus WR2s. The 26-year-old has caught 25 passes for 298 yards and four touchdowns over 11 games in 2021. Lazard is a boom-or-bust flex against the Ravens in Week 15.

Allen Lazard Finds The End Zone In Win Over Bears

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught six passes on seven targets for 75 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 more yards on one carry in Sunday's 45-30 win over the Chicago Bears. He had his best game of the season, racking up a season-high 75 yards and a score in the Week 14 win. The 26-year-old should continue to have an expanded role while wide receiver Randall Cobb (groin) is on injured reserve. Lazard is a solid flex play against a banged-up Baltimore Ravens secondary in Week 15.

Aaron Jones, Allen Lazard Active For Week 12

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) will play Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Jones is always a must-start RB1 play when healthy and while he might not be totally healthy and the Rams defense is solid, you still have to deploy Jones in season-long leagues because of his upside. Wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) will play too and has some flex appeal. His presence means that Marquez Valdes-Scantling takes a big hit in value for Week 12.

Allen Lazard Questionable To Play This Sunday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for a Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams after being limited in practice all week. Lazard didn't play in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but he has a real chance to return this Sunday, which would make Marquez Valdes-Scantling less attractive as a boom/bust WR4/flex in deeper leagues after he caught four passes for 123 yards and a touchdown last week. Lazard does have three touchdowns this year, but he also hasn't had more than five catches or 60 receiving yards in a single game in 2021. If Lazard returns to the mix this weekend, relying on any pass-catcher in this offense not named Davante Adams will be a crapshoot in fantasy.

Allen Lazard Trending Toward A Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Fellow receiver Malik Taylor (abdomen) was unable to practice. In Lazard's absence last week, Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught four of a team-high 10 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown. MVS will go back to being a boom/bust WR4/5 if Lazard returns to the rotation, though, and it's been impossible to predict when a secondary receiver will go off behind Adams in this offense. Lazard has 17 receptions for 210 yards and three touchdowns on 26 targets in nine games in 2021 and will be a boom/bust WR4/flex if he returns to face the Rams on Sunday.

Allen Lazard Ruled Out For Week 11

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) is officially out for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Lazard was doubtful after not practicing all week, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers, who should have already taken Lazard out of lineups. Marquez Valdes-Scantling will see increased work against a Vikings team allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, making him an intriguing flex option and DFS play.

Allen Lazard Doubtful For Week 11

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was unable to practice this week due to a shoulder injury and appears unlikely to play this Sunday. The 25-year-old is not expected to play but has yet to be ruled for Week 11. Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Randall Cobb should see an uptick in targets while Lazard is sidelined. The Vikings have been destroyed against WR2s and rank 29th in DVOA against the opposing team's secondary targets. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for Lazard's official status, but if inactive, "MVS" and Cobb are on the flex radar in deep-league formats.

Allen Lazard Absent Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday while tending to a shoulder injury. Lazard's status for Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings is firmly in question, and he'll likely need to practice on Friday to avoid being ruled out. The 25-year-old has scored a touchdown in three of the last four games, but he has only 17 receptions on the season for 210 yards in nine games and cannot be trusted as a WR4/flex on a weekly basis in 12-team leagues. If he is unable to get clearance this Sunday, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Randall Cobb could see more targets alongside No. 1 wideout Davante Adams.

Allen Lazard Misses Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) did not practice in the team's walkthrough on Wednesday. The Packers were resting several key veterans, including Davante Adams (shoulder) and quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe), so Lazard's injury may not be that serious. Lazard's practice status on Thursday will give us a better idea of his status for the Week 11 game against the Minnesota Vikings. The 25-year-old did have three straight games with a touchdown from Weeks 6-9, but he also hasn't had more than five catches or 60 yards in a single game this season for Green Bay. Outside of Adams, it's hard to rely on any Packers receiver for consistent weekly production. In the Week 10 win over Seattle, Lazard had just one catch for six yards on four targets.

Allen Lazard - Week 10 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard returned in Week 9 after a one-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols. He caught his only target for a 20-yard touchdown in last Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Packers will get back star quarterback Aaron Rodgers (COVID-19) in Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks. Lazard is averaging 9.7 air yards per target and owns 9% of the team's target share. The 25-year-old has reeled in 16 passes for 203 yards and three touchdowns over eight games in 2021. This season, Seattle ranks 11th against fantasy wide receivers, and despite Rodgers expecting to play, Lazard is on the flex radar in deep-league formats for Week 10.

Allen Lazard - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard was reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. He was deemed a close contact of teammate Davante Adams, who tested positive COVID-19 last week and did not play in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Packers will be without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was ruled out in Week 9 after testing positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday. Lazard owns 10% of the team's target share and 4.9 YAC per reception, 31st among wideouts. The 25-year-old becomes a boom-or-bust flex without Rodgers in a plus matchup against the Chiefs in Week 9.

Allen Lazard Activated From COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver Allen Lazard from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, placing running back Kylin Hill (knee) and tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) on Injured Reserve in corresponding moves. Lazard, who isn't vaccinated, went on the COVID-19 list last week as a close contact of Davante Adams. Both receivers missed the Thursday night win over the Arizona Cardinals. Green Bay could very well be in for a shootout against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, but Lazard probably will only be worth using in starting fantasy lineups if Adams remains on the COVID-19 list and misses another game. Lazard has touchdowns in his last two games, but he only has 15 receptions for 184 yards on 21 targets in seven games in 2021.

Allen Lazard Won't Play Against Cardinals

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard will be out for Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals after landing on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Lazard was deemed a close contact but is unvaccinated and cannot be cleared in time on the short week. Stud wideout Davante Adams tested positive for the virus and also will not travel with the team in Week 8. As a result, expect the Packers to lean heavily on running backs Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon, wide receiver Randall Cobb and tight end Robert Tonyan as they look to give the Cardinals their first loss of the season. Wideouts Equanimeous St. Brown and Amari Rodgers should also see an increase in playing time with both Adams and Lazard out.

Allen Lazard Joins Davante Adams On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed wide receiver Allen Lazard on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, a day after they placed receiver Davante Adams on the same list. On a short week against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night, Lazard and Adams, the team's top two receivers, are unlikely to be available for quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Adams is the clear No. 1 for Green Bay and is one of the top receivers in the league with 52 catches on 73 targets for 744 yards and three touchdowns through seven weeks. Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown and rookie Amari Rodgers will all have bigger roles in Week 8, and the team isn't ruling out Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) returning from Injured Reserve to play. Cobb checks in third on the team with 14 catches (18 targets) for 179 yards and two scores this year, so he's the best plug-and-play option for those in deeper leagues or DFS.

Allen Lazard Gets Involved On Sunday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard finished with five catches for 60 yards during the win over the Washington Football Team in Week 7. He also found the end zone, bringing in a 10-yard toss from Aaron Rodgers just before the end of the second quarter. Although it's obvious Davante Adams is the clear-cut No. 1 wideout on the team, Lazard has made his presence known to some degree by finding the end zone in each game throughout the last two weeks. While it's probable he will cool off, those in deeper formats should keep him in mind for Thursday Night Football against the Cardinals, especially the managers navigating their way through a bye week or dealing with injuries.
