MALIK HEATH NEWS

Moves up pecking order Heath was targeted three times and had two receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.

Impact The Packers were down a pair of wideouts in Week 5 and the biggest beneficiary was Heath, who got the start and played just as many snaps as Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. Heath will be behind both players, as well as Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (suspension), when the position group is at full strength, but he -- and not Bo Melton -- is the No. 5 option at wide receiver for the Packers.

Moves up pecking order Heath was targeted three times and had two receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.

Impact The Packers were down a pair of receivers in Week 5, and the biggest beneficiary was Heath, who was credited with a start and played just as many snaps as fellow wideouts Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. Heath will be behind both players as well as Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs when are all available, but the snap distribution suggests he -- and not Bo Melton -- is the fifth option at his position on the depth chart.

Hauls in two passes Heath was targeted twice and had two receptions for 12 yards in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Heath stepped in after fellow wideout Christian Watson (ankle) left Sunday's contest and picked up both his first two targets and catches of the season. Watson could miss time with his injury, and if he does Heath and Bo Melton will both be candidates to play an expanded role behind the trio of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks.

Won't suit up in season opener Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's Week 1 game in Brazil against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Heath had a nice preseason that helped him make Green Bay's 53-man roster, but he won't play in the team's first game of the regular season. That leaves the Packers with five active receivers for the contest -- Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton. Heath may need an injury to a wideout (or two) ahead of him in the pecking order to see regular offensive snaps during the campaign.

Leading receiver in preseason win Heath caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Ravens.

Impact Heath was one of several young wideouts to get promoted to the starting lineup in place of resting starters in Saturday's conclusion to exhibition play. The 24-year-old put a bow on a solid preseason as the team's leading receiver, giving him a legitimate shot to make Green Bay's roster or practice squad ahead of the regular season kicking off.

Makes two receptions Heath was targeted four times and caught two passes for 22 yards in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.

Impact Heath did not draw a target until the second quarter of Saturday's contest, but he wound up playing 38 snaps -- the second most among Packers wideouts. Heath entered training camp as Green Bay's presumptive sixth option at the wide receiver spot, but he is being pushed for the spot by fellow sophomore Grant DuBose, who led the team in receiving Saturday.

Makes 13 appearances as rookie Heath was targeted 24 times and had 15 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown over 13 games in the 2023 season.

Impact The undrafted rookie earned himself a roster spot and hung onto it all season, and although he did not do a lot on the stat sheet he did have a few moments. He could have been more involved if Green Bay did not have a glut of productive receivers, but alas he finished his first season sixth on the depth chart at his position. All five wideouts ahead of him are set to return in 2024, but he figures to remain part of the mix.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Tacks on three receptions Heath was targeted four times and caught three passes for nine yards in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Bears.

Impact Heath opened Sunday's contest as the fifth option at the wideout spot, and he finished it fourth with fellow wideout Romeo Doubs (chest) exiting early. Heath caught at least one pass in the final eight games of the regular season, but he will remain primarily a depth piece when the playoffs get underway.

Hauls in first touchdown pass Heath was targeted twice and caught one pass for six yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-22 loss to the Giants.

Impact Heath nearly notched his first touchdown on the penultimate play the Packers ran in Monday's contest, and he wound up reaching the end zone for the first time as a professional just one play later. Heath did not do a lot in Monday's game, but he did play his most snaps in a game since Week 1, and he could play an expanded role again in Week 15 with at least a couple of his fellow wideouts injured.
