PRODRAFTSTATS™PRODRAFTSTATS™Carolina Panthers (3-3) at Green Bay Packers (4-3). Thursday, Oct. 29, 8:15 PM ET, Lambeau Field, on Prime Video.
Bryce Young is the biggest number on our sealed Week 8 card for Thursday night: 19.35 full-PPR points, a hair above his 19.31 season average. Every other player we feature from this game sits under his own average, and Christian Watson sits furthest under it, 15.39 against 18.50.
Both teams arrive angry. Tampa Bay routed Carolina 43-13 in Charlotte on Sunday, and Green Bay dropped a 20-17 decision in Detroit on a field goal as time expired. Thursday night gives each side four days to fix it.
Young carries the Panthers’ passing game into Lambeau with 1,712 yards, 12 touchdown passes and four interceptions in six games. Our number lands almost exactly on his season pace, even after last week, when Tampa Bay sacked him five times and he finished with 5.42 points.
Watson is the other story. He leads Green Bay with 595 receiving yards and six touchdown catches on 34 receptions, and those touchdowns account for 36 of his 129.5 full-PPR points this season. Our 15.39 is 3.11 below his 18.50 average, the widest gap under a season average for any Panther or Packer on our card this week.
Josh Jacobs is the hardest number here to read. He did not play until Week 7, after six games on the league’s commissioner exempt list, and in his first game at Detroit he ran 11 times for 36 yards and caught five passes for 55 yards and a score. That is 20.10 points from one game. We have him at 17.65.
Jordan Love sits at 17.94 against an 18.19 average, with 1,958 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and five interceptions through seven games. Chuba Hubbard is at 17.14 against 18.02, built on 459 rushing yards, four rushing scores and two more through the air. Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina’s top receiver at 36 catches for 511 yards, is at 14.98 against 16.18.
Green Bay listed receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, foot) as questionable after he was limited in Wednesday’s walkthrough. Our number for him is 15.04. Carolina’s Jalen Coker (shoulder) was listed as limited Monday and full on Tuesday and Wednesday, and he carries no game designation; he is at 13.07. Inactives come out about 90 minutes before kickoff, and if a player named here is ruled out we will say so on this page before the game starts.
Every number in this post was sealed on Tuesday, Oct. 27, before the first Week 8 kickoff. After the final whistle it goes up against the box score, misses included.
