That's because Jimmy is not dead as I said last year. I like the usage of MVS vs a tough Bears D.

Good stuff. MVS could have had north of 50 snaps but was out with cramps I believe the entire 10-play drive in the early 4th.

He led the team today with 10 targets - 6 more than Adams.

Next stop - waivers.
Seriously, he needs to put two weeks together before you can even flex him so he's unusable until week 7 at best.
Even his TD last week was a bit fluky. Broken play where the D was called for offsides and the D let up and Rodgers threw deep on a freebie.
ETA: unless Adams misses time

I put him on waivers for one of the Allen QBs (the rookie) last night before I'd heard about Adams's injury. Makes me want to

MVS was still in the game plan last night for sure, just a few things didn't go his way.
And with Rodgers, you never know how he will spread it around any given day outside of Adams.

MVS was close to having 2 TD's last night. He's still very much the #2 pass catcher in that offense, and almost certainly will be #1 the next few weeks, as a turf toe injury is usually not something a WR can play through.
MVS is more likely to be a solid WR2, than a drop worthy player over the next few weeks, especially with a nice schedule coming up, against either bad pass defenses or potential shootout games.

Yeah MVS had one TD overthrown to him, interfered with on another long play (no call), and the last play of the game got got straight bear-hugged before the ball arrived. He could've had 2 TDs in the game and easily another 50 yards, and now he should be in line for more targets.
Adams will miss some time. MVS will be the #1 option. He's still young and needs more polish. Now is a great opportunity for him to grow. Rodgers and staff will now game plan for him but I'm expecting WR3 production WR2 at best. Again he's a young player with only 20 NFL games on his resume. He definitely should not be on waivers and with bye weeks I feel comfortable using him.
Young and needing more polish is how you could have described Adams a few years back. It’s possible this Adams injury is actually a good thing for the Packers if MVS responds to being thrown into the fire the way Adams did when Nelson went down.
I recall those days when Adams was a 2nd year pro because I also had him on my team. He was running wrong routes, dropping balls, Rodgers was yelling at him during games on national TV. To your point, a young receiver will have ups and downs. Short term MVS will have growing pains. I bet he will be on several championship teams later on this year.

Note to self, NEVER start a packer receiver other than Adams. They all suck!!

per RotoWire MVS a full participant at practice today, Friday. looks like he'll be WR1 again this Sunday, for whatever that's worth at this point. WR1 for the Packers and i am ecstatic i don't have to start him. so wrong. hope he goes off for anyone who needs him.

Already dropped him Tuesday after drafting him 7.10 in a 14 teamer. He needs Adams back to get free because he can't handle #1 corners and now the soft tissue injuries are mounting.

Sorry. MVS was in my lineup this week (covering Mike Evans' bye and AJ Green's whatever it is).
Now I'm off to the waiver wire for a stopgap, and Corey Davis seems like he's probably the best available. Maybe Dede Westbrook (if he plays).
Some additional context. I watched the game and MVS did get open several plays. I read that he's in Rodgers' doghouse who wasn't even looking his way. If you'll recall this is very typical of Rodgers. He has a huge ego. If you are involved in a play that causes an interception you're in the doghouse because Rodgers does not like +int next to his stats. He expects "greatness" and you have to perform according to "his expectations". He did this with Devante Adams. However, a talented receiver like MVS won't stay there for long. Eventually MVS will get out of this doghouse and the numbers will come. Take this bit of info and do what you like. I'm holding.

I've read the same thing...either way unless you have super deep benches its going to be hard to hold him for potentially years before he gets out of GB and even then who knows. If he doesnt show up soon he's going to have to get churned out of my dynasty roster.

I went with Robbie. I think we’ll see GB emphasizing the run and there is a good chance that MVS will not make it through the game. I’m also thinking that the Jets will end up chasing the game late, so there could be some garbage time points in the offing. Neither are good choices...

After holding those two (and Kumerow etc) on many rosters since early LAST season figuring I had a good chance at getting GB's clear #2, I agree with Dizzy here.
In 2 or 3 leagues this week, I am starting Lazard over one or both of these two - whether they are active or not. I'll take my chances on the big fellow who came in cold and caught 80% of the balls thrown his way.
