The Packers kicked off another practice week on Wednesday and they

did so without quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the third straight week.Rodgers hurt his knee in Week One Preston Smith Jersey , which has caused an alteration to the usual work week. The plan has been for him to sit out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday before getting in some work on Saturday and playing on Sunday.That last part is obviously paramount for Rodgers and the team, but the quarterback said Wednesday that it’s been tough not being involved during the week.鈥淚 do love to compete,” Rodgers said, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 鈥淭here鈥檚 no doubt about it. It is difficult and different for me to not be out there. I鈥檓 one who always loves being out there because you鈥檙e not just competing but you鈥檙e working on things with the guys and working on the game plan, especially on days like Wednesday and Thursday. So that鈥檚 been obviously a struggle for me.”Head coach Mike McCarthy suggested it’s also been tough for the team because they “cannot grow during the week if your quarterbacks aren鈥檛 bringing it.” For the near future, DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle are going to be responsible for doing that in Green Bay.Packers-Steelers Fantasy Reaction: Jake Kumerow trends up, J’Mon Moore trends down Plenty of players’ fantasy football stocks are rising after Thursday’s preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And why wouldn’t they be? The final score was 51-34 in favor of the Packers Ty Summers Jersey 2019 , so there was a good amount of offensive opportunity. We might have to take a grain of salt with these results, because there literally haven’t been this many points scored in a Packers preseason game ever. Still, scoring builds confidence and some of these young guys could use every bit they can get to make the final roster.Building off of a solid first preseason game, we broke down whose stock is still trending up and whose might be going down.Stock upDavante AdamsAdams only had one catch, but he took a quick slant for 27 yards. He’s continually making it look easy and he’s ready to go for Week 1. For those looking to make Adams a first or second-round pick, there shouldn’t be any worries about him disappointing you.Jimmy GrahamGraham scored his first Rodgers-to-Graham TD in the first quarter which was great to see. He was really just standing in the end zone posting up like he’s supposed to and the defensive back didn’t stand a chance. Graham was lined up close to the line of scrimmage and primarily in a two-point stance for the game so, as expected Jace Sternberger Green Bay Packer , he should be running plenty of routes this season.Aaron RodgersQB1 started the game and had a short field to work with in his lone drive. Finished 2/4, 35 yards, a touchdown, and a vintage 12-men-on-the-field penalty draw. And he made it out unscathed despite some close contact. No rust, no fuss. Jake KumerowKumerow and his excellent flow took a sideline reception 82-yards to the house. That was the exclamation point on a night in which he hauled in all three of his targets for 114 yards. Making his second big play of the preseason, the UW-Whitewater product capitalized off of a bad angle by the defensive back, then rumbled into the end zone and possibly onto the 53-man roster. For redraft leagues Jace Sternberger Jersey 2019 , he’s probably best left undrafted. For dynasty leagues, however, he’s looking like a good prospect to roster.Mason CrosbyKickers are people, too! Crosby was busy on Thursday night with six extra points and three field goals, two of which were over 50 yards. The 33-year old can see a great benefit if Rodgers’ chemistry with Adams and Graham continues to build. Stock downTy MontgomeryTy finished with four carries for only 10 yards—again, not the best offensive line showing tonight. He also had a pair of nifty catches for 15 yards. However, Montgomery had his second special teams mishandling of the preseason Color Rush Jace Sternberger Jersey , dropping a fumble on a kick return. Jamaal Williams exited the game with a minor ankle injury, however, so this running back situation is still worth monitoring. J’Mon MooreMoore saw plenty of opportunities, but failed to really capitalize on any of them. He’s struggled with the a case of the drops and it’s getting harder for these backup quarterbacks to trust him. They want to complete passes for their own sakes.The Packers will continue their preseason in Oakland against the Raiders on 08/24.
