ALLEN LAZARD NEWS

Clinches playoff victory Lazard recorded four receptions on eight targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in the Packers' divisional-round win over the Rams on Saturday.

Impact Lazard led the Packers in yards, thanks to a 58-yard touchdown reception midway through the fourth quarter to clinch a win. It was a moment of redemption for Lazard, as he dropped what appeared to be another long touchdown earlier in the game. After commanding no more than six targets in any of the final seven regular-season contests, Lazard appears to have reasserted himself as the team's second wide receiver.

Ready for Saturday's game Lazard (core/wrist) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the Rams.

Impact Lazard continues to have his practice reps capped since undergoing core-muscle surgery Week 11, but his status for Saturday's game never appeared to be in true jeopardy. The Packers have eased him back into action since, but Lazard could be required to play a key offensive role Saturday given that Jalen Ramsey will likely shadow Davante Adams.

JANUARY 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Lazard (core/wrist) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Lazard is following his usual practice routine since his return from core-muscle surgery Week 11. After the Packers had a bye for the first round of the playoffs, Lazard looks to be in a good spot physically, and he should enter the weekend minus a designation for Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Rams.

JANUARY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at Tuesday's practice Lazard (core/wrist) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice report.

Impact With a week to rest up since the end of the regular season, Lazard continues to be hindered by a pair of injuries. He's still not quite 100 percent recovered from Oct. 1 core muscle surgery, while his wrist issue cropped up over the final two weeks of the campaign. The Packers have yet to unleash him since he returned Week 11 from a stint in IR, resulting in 20 catches (on 29 targets) for 197 yards and one touchdown over the last seven contests.

JANUARY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in finale Lazard was targeted four times and caught two passes for 17 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Impact Lazard got off to a hot start in 2020, tallying 254 receiving yards and two scores over his first three games of the season. However, a core injury suffered in Week 3 cost him the next six games, and he was not the same afterward, putting up just 197 yards and one touchdown over the last seven weeks. While Lazard is not producing much, he is spending plenty of time on the field, as he finished second among Packers skill players in offensive snaps in both Weeks 16 and 17.

JANUARY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Active for Week 17 Lazard (core/wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Limited practice reps have been the norm since Lazard returned from injured reserve earlier this season, but he hasn't missed a game since Week 11. Though he seems to be in a decent spot health-wise, Lazard has yet to re-establish the form he displayed Weeks 1 through 3, when he accrued 13 receptions for 254 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

JANUARY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited session Lazard (core/wrist) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact Since he returned to the lineup Week 11 following a six-game absence due to core muscle surgery, Lazard has had his practice reps capped. In six contests in the interim, he's only reached 50 receiving yards twice and scored one touchdown on 25 targets. Lazard likely will be available again Sunday at Chicago, but he has yet to show his early season strides from before the procedure.

DECEMBER 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited at practice Wednesday Lazard (core/wrist) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Impact For a second straight week, Lazard's practice reps are capped by dual core and wrist issues. That said, he handled a typical 62 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Titans, but his output (two catches for 14 yards on two targets) was lacking. Lazard will aim to brush aside his injuries in order to serve as the Packers' No. 2 wide receiver again Sunday in Chicago.

DECEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Lowest yardage total of season Lazard caught both his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's victory over the Titans.

Impact Lazard was on the field for just 62 percent of the plays the Packers' offense ran Sunday, but he essentially handled a full workload, as the 41 snaps he saw were just six fewer than any other skill player on the roster. While he spent plenty of time on the field, he was not very involved as a receiver, and his 14 yards were his fewest in a game this season. Lazard will close out the regular season against the Bears, a team that has allowed opposing wideouts to find the end zone 11 times over its last seven games.

DECEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Lazard (core/wrist) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tennessee, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact A limited practice participant throughout the week, Lazard never appeared in serious danger of missing Sunday's game. He's averaged just 33.2 yards in five games since returning from injured reserve, but he did catch five of six targets for 56 yards last week, with a 77-percent snap share being his largest since Week 3. Lazard also gets a nice matchup this week, facing a Tennessee defense that's given up the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers.

DECEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Puts in limited practice Lazard (core/wrist) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The Packers have capped Lazard's reps in both of their first two practices of Week 16, but head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't expressed any concern about the receiver's chances of playing Sunday against the Titans. Assuming Lazard is cleared to suit up this weekend, he'll be looking to build on a strong showing in the Packers' win over the Panthers in Week 15. He handled his biggest snap share (77 percent) since Week 3 in that contest, finishing the day with five receptions for 56 yards on six targets.

DECEMBER 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Puts in limited showing Lazard (core/wrist) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Impact For the first time since he was activated from IR, Lazard logged at least 75 percent of the offensive snaps -- 77, to be precise -- Week 15 against the Panthers. In the first four games after he was cleared to play following Oct. 1 core muscle surgery, his range was 46 to 69 percent. Lazard proceeded to haul in five of six targets for 56 yards, but he's now also dealing with a wrist issue along with the 'core' injury that's been a regular one for him on Packers practice reports. He has two more sessions remaining this week, at which point the team could clear up his availability for Sunday night's game versus the Titans.

DECEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Claims more targets Lazard recorded five receptions on six targets for 56 yards in Week 15 against the Panthers.

Impact Lazard matched his best target total since returning from a core injury in Week 11. His performance was made impressive by the fact that he finished second on the team in targets while also leading the team in receiving yards. Even after recording receptions of 22, 14 and 12 yards, Lazard's performance was blemished by a drop at the end of the first half that cost the Packers the opportunity to add to their lead. Nevertheless, it was a positive performance for Lazard, and he could be in line for more volume in Week 16 against the Titans.

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for Saturday Lazard (core) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's contest against the Panthers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Despite being limited in practice all week, Lazard is ready to roll for a fifth straight game since his lengthy stint on injured reserve due to Oct. 1 core muscle surgery. The Packers have yet to fully unleash Lazard since the procedure, and if his activity level on the field this week is any indication, he may be slated for his usual handful of targets Saturday.

DECEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited practice Lazard (core) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact The Packers have limited Lazard's workload, both on the field and in practice, since his return from IR in Week 11. There's not yet any reason to worry about Lazard's status for Saturday's home game against the Panthers, but as long as he's being held below 70 percent of offensive snaps it will be difficult to trust the 25-year-old to log consistent fantasy production.

DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets limited tag again Lazard (core) is listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated practice report.

Impact Lazard has yet to be fully unleashed since he returned from injured reserve, playing between 60 and 69 percent of the snaps on offense in three of four games (in the fourth, it was 46 percent). The results (a 11-110-1 line on 17 targets) haven't approached his early season form -- 13-254-2 on the same number of targets Weeks 1 through 3 -- prior to core muscle surgery. It's unclear when the Packers will allow him to log 85-90 percent of those plays again, but when he does he could take off with the offense running on all cylinders at the moment.

NFC North champ Packers' next task: securing NFC's top seed

The Green Bay Packers have clinched the NFC North title and put themselves in position to earn the conference’s top playoff seed because of a championship-caliber offense

DECEMBER 14, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Workload remains limited Lazard was targeted three times and caught two passes for 19 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

Impact The Packers have limited Lazard's workload since he returned from an abdominal injury, and that continued Sunday, as he played fewer than 70 percent of the snaps for the fourth game in a row. He will next face a Panthers team that's allowed 10 receiving touchdowns over its last five games, but if Lazard remains limited he will not be able to take full advantage. If you are considering using the wideout in Week 15, be sure to keep tabs on his participation in practice in the coming days. If he is able to practice fully all week, he could see increased snap and target volume, likely at the expense of Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
