Heath flashed, with a 37-yard twisting catch signaling his rising role behind Watson and Kraft. His versatility makes the Packers’ offense more unpredictable, supporting a deeper WR corps with a growing ceiling in GB’s pass game.

Heath posted a late-game contribution and offers depth as Reed recovers. Heath represents a volatile but plausible week-to-week flex option if called upon, especially in pass-heavy scripts where GB leans on secondary targets.

Heath, a UDFA entering his third Packers season, had four targets for four yards and a notable drop in Week 1. With receivers down, Heath must seize the opportunity in Indy, contributing as a blocker and special-teams contributor while proving capable of meaningful catches.

Malik Heath surged into a prominent role for Green Bay in the preseason, outsnapping Micole Hardman and flashing the size-speed-catch-radius profile that could translate to meaningful Week 1 targets if this usage continues. His route work and ability to win contested looks suggest a real fantasy upside if he holds the top outside/positional slot.

Heath’s flashes in the preseason show why he’s lurking in the WR depth chart, with potential to claim the slot or outside role if Reed’s absence lingers and others falter.
