Green Bay rode a balanced game to a 9-point win over Cincinnati, bolstering its playoff odds while the defense anchored by a swarming run stop and a front that finally generated multiple good possessions. The offense found a rhythm as the run game clicked behind continuity on the line, letting Jordan Love attack efficiently on play-action and third downs. Special teams were cleaner with a clutch kicking performance, and injuries looming as a test against Arizona.

Love’s efficiency stands out: high completion rate, strong yards per attempt, and a remarkably low turnover footprint given the volume of throws. The run game—led by Jacbos and Emanuel Wilson—lifted the scoring with chunk runs late, while the defense limited big plays and improved its takeaway timing. The Packers face Cardinals with questions about injuries and how sustainable this run-first balance will be, but the growth is real.

Rasheed Rice returns for Kansas City with a clear bite of fantasy upside. After a six‑game suspension, the Chiefs plan to ease him in but expect him to be central in the passing game quickly, with Mahomes aiming to re‑anchor the offense around Rice. The matchup against a Raiders unit that has struggled to slow wide receivers amplifies the upside, and Rice’s prior 33% target share in three games hints at immediate relevance if he’s unleashed.

Rice’s return looms as a potential week‑to‑week separator in fantasy lineups. If the Chiefs deploy him on a meaningful snap count yet feed him early and often, Rice could vault into weekly top‑20 consideration as Mahomes looks to rekindle a trusted rhythm with his new/old target.
