Valentine joined the Week 1 blitz sequence, igniting the pack of communication that halted Detroit’s early pressure. His willingness to chase the ball and participate in the check-to-formation rhythm signals a growing confidence in GB’s responsive blitz game.

Valentine started every snap and allowed just 13 yards on 1 catch, delivering a steady coverage presence. His consistency across all plays contributed to a solid defensive ceiling, with reliability in man and zone looks.

Carrington Valentine climbs 18 spots to No. 18. The move signals increased confidence in the Packers’ CB depth and a real path to more consistent defensive snaps. If Valentine earns starter reps, he could become a values-driven CB2 in fantasy leagues circling defensive performance.

Valentine is flagged as a swing corner whose development could tilt the Packers’ secondary. If he locks down consistent play, Green Bay’s coverage could rise to meet the new pass-rush expectations, influencing fantasy matchups against Packers opponents.

Valentine’s absence on the finalized roster signals youth movement and belief in the young corners. With Nate Hobbs, Kehan Nixon, and others in play, Valentine’s path may move to the practice squad, depending on waiver outcomes and open roster spots.
