Kevin Szafraniec continues his deep dive into the NFC North by identifying the best and worst picks on the Green Bay Packers’ roster in 2026 best ball drafts.
Everything was going right for the Packers at the start of 2025 before injuries derailed them over the second half of the year. But the team has had a full offseason to get healthy and once again has their sights set on making a run at the Lombardi Trophy.
It does not feel like a stretch to say that the Packers have one of the most talented rosters in the league. What is debatable is how effectively all of that talent translates over to fantasy.
Matt LaFleur’s slow-paced, run-heavy offense generally has difficulty supporting more than two fantasy-viable options at a time. And while the talent of the players in Green Bay is enticing, the reality is that their ceilings have been limited by the scheme they play in.
Is this the year everything changes, or will drafters who invest heavily in the Green Bay offense once again be left wanting at the end of 2026?
In this series, we will focus on best ball ADP from the FFPC slim format, which features 20-round drafts, tight-end premium scoring (1.5 points per TE reception and 1.0 PPR for all other positions), and starting lineups consisting of one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, and two standard flex spots.
