Green Bay Packers Week 3 fantasy profile – Who’s up? Who’s down?
By Kenn Korb
K – Mason Crosby
Week 2 Statistics: 2/2 PATs; 2.00 fantasy points
Crosby didn’t provide much of anything against the Vikings fantasy-wise, but that wasn’t his fault.
His offense struggled massively to move the ball with consistency, so multiple drives ended well before field goal range, limiting his chances.
Then, of the legitimate possible drives he could have had a decent try at putting points on the board, he never saw the ball; of the four drives that either reached or got close to his field goal range, the Packers scored 2 TDs, lost a fumble, and went for it on 4th down (only to fall short).
With the offense having a weaker unit lined up against them, we should see more success from that side of the ball — that means more potential chances for Crosby. Also, though the team should be more productive, they likely will still have inconsistencies to work out and could see drives still stall at times — if those get to Detroit’s side of the field first, then that increases Crosby’s odds even more.
Last week was about the worst possible scenario for Crosby owners coming to fruition; it is unlikely to see multiple games in a row bringing about the exact factors that caused him to not get a single attempted field goal. This week, with a bounceback from his offense, Crosby should have a performance more in-line with what we expect from him.
