David Bakhtiari - Hopeful to return Head coach Matt LaFluer is hopeful Bakhtiari (knee) will return to practice Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Bakhtiari underwent surgery in January to repair a torn ACL and started the season on the PUP list. He was cleared to return to practice on Oct. 20 and was officially added to the active roster Nov. 10 in order to beat the 21-day window for activation. Bakhtiari then underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his surgically repaired knee Nov. 23, and the Packers were optimistic about a potential return in Week 14 against the Bears that ultimately never came to fruition. Bakhtiari has still not practiced with the team since the arthroscopic procedure took place, but that could change Wednesday. The Pro Bowl tackle's return would be a monster boost for the Packers as they continue to jockey for playoff positioning down the stretch.

Jaire Alexander - Should return to practice Alexander (shoulder) is expected to "at bare minimum" practice individual drills this week according to head coach Matt LaFleur, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

Impact Alexander was designated to return from IR on Dec. 8 after being out since Week 4 against the Steelers. Whether Alexander will be able to prove he's ready to return in Week 15 against the Ravens remains to be seen, but there was originally optimism he could return in Week 14 against the Bears. Either way, the return of the star corner appears to be on the horizon, which is great news for the Packers' secondary as they push towards the final leg of the season.

Chandon Sullivan - Intercepts second pass of season Douglas made two tackles (one solo) and intercepted a pass in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Impact Douglas was on the field for all but three of the plays the Bears ran in Week 14, and although he did not do much in the tackle department he was able to pick off his second pass of the season. After making just eight total stops over the first six weeks of the season, Douglas recorded 15 of those over the last seven games.

Breakdowns on special teams give Packers reason to worry

Rasul Douglas - Second score in two games Douglas made two solo tackles, deflected two passes and returned an interception for a touchdown in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Impact Douglas housed a pick for the first time ever in Week 12, and with the Packers off in Week 13, he wound up finding paydirt in back-to-back games. He continues playing a key role in the Packers' defensive backfield and is now up to 39 tackles (35 solo) 10 pass deflections, three interceptions and the two touchdowns through eight appearances with the Packers.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Preston Smith - Tallies two more sacks Smith recorded four tackles (three solo), tallied two sacks and forced a fumble in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Impact Smith registered both his first multi-sack effort and first forced fumble of the season in the Packers' Week 11 loss to the Vikings, and he repeated that performance just two games later. Smith is now up to 7.0 sacks on the season, with five of those coming over the last four games he appeared in.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

De'Vondre Campbell - Stacks up 16 stops Campbell recorded 16 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Impact It would have been tough to see Sunday's performance coming, as Campbell racked up 16 tackles (15 solo) over the three games preceding the contest and dealt with COVID-19 during the Packers' Week 13 bye. However, he flew around the field in Week 14 and wound up setting a new season high in the tackle department. While Campbell had a few quiet weeks, his big game Sunday vaulted him back into a top-10 spot in total tackles made this season.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mason Crosby - Perfect for first time since Week 8 Crosby made a 20-yard field goal and all six of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Impact While Crosby did not find himself in any precarious positions Sunday, he also did not miss an attempt for the first time since Week 8. Unfortunately for those that included him in their Week 14 lineups, most of the nine points he put on the board came one at a time. Crosby has gotten back on track a bit in the points column, but it will be a challenge for him to keep that going in Week 15, as the Packers face a Ravens team that ceded just five successful extra points and four made field goals over its last four contests.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Marcedes Lewis - Busy against Bears Lewis was targeted four times and caught four passes for 51 yards in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Impact Both the reception and yardage totals were season highs for Lewis, who played 55 percent of the snaps Sunday after being on the field for fewer than 40 percent of the plays the Packers ran over the two weeks leading up to their Week 13 bye. While Lewis had his best game of the season, he still split the tight end duties with teammate Josiah Deguara, so his fantasy value has not been altered significantly. He will have the matchup in his favor in both Weeks 15 and 16, but considering he racked up a total of 13 yards over the four games prior to Sunday's, he remains on the fringes in fantasy circles.

Josiah Deguara - Sets career highs in two categories Deguara was targeted three times and caught three passes for 44 yards in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Impact The 44 yards were a career best for Deguara, as were the 37 snaps he played in Sunday's contest. He has not stamped himself as the Packers' top tight end, as teammate Marcedes Lewis racked up more yards and receptions in Week 14 and played just one fewer snap. However, Deguara has at least done enough to put himself on the radar for Weeks 15 and 16, when the Packers will take on Ravens and Browns defenses that have been below-average this season against opposing tight ends.
