Two NFC powerhouses - the 9-3 Packers and 11-1 Lions face each other this Thursday night in a heavyweight battle. Two wide receivers to target during this massive divisional matchup - Jameson Williams and Jayden Reed.
Jordan Love is starting to find his groove again, throwing for 4 TDs and 0 INTs in two straight wins by more than a score. The Packers offense faces the Detroit defense for the second time this season.
At Lambeau earlier in the year, Love couldn’t find the end zone but threw for 273 yards. For Green Bay to win this ball game, Jordan Love will have to throw the ball 35+ times and outpace Goff and the Lions' offensive attack.
After watching Caleb Williams put a 256-yard, 3 TD game together against Detroit, this is a great spot for Love.
Jameson Williams is starting to piece together what will become his first consistent season as a pro. Since returning from his two game mid-season hiatus, Williams has seen five targets in each of the four games, while going for 53/124/64/28 yards and a score over that period.
With the Green Bay defense facing Jamo for the first time this season, expect a few deep targets his way as Goff tests the Packers secondary.
With Romeo Doubs out of this matchup with a concussion, Christian Watson is a name being thrown around as the ‘next up’ option. However, Watson’s inconsistency turns us off in this Thursday Night Football matchup.
CW has only hit this mark four times in ten games this season, while failing to do so against Detroit in their last matchup on seven targets. Stay away from Watson’s inconsistency and take the under in this heavyweight divisional matchup.
One beneficiary of Romeo Doubs’ absence will be Jayden Reed. Reed is coming off a 2-TD game against Miami and still remains Love’s top target in this offense.
Although he’s only caught eight passes over his last three outings, Reed is a nightmare for this Lions’ secondary who he torched for 113 yards in Week 9 and scored against last season.
In what should become a back-and-forth game with plenty of scoring opportunities, Reed will bounce back and become Love’s most targeted wideout in this game.
