2025 Fantasy Outlook
Melton made some waves in 2023, topping the 100-yard mark Week 17 and finding paydirt in a playoff game, but that late-season surge did not earn him a more prominent role in 2024, nor did his presence prevent the Packers from spending two of their top three draft picks on wideouts in April while adding Mecole Hardman to the receiver room. Melton is a favorite of the Green Bay coaching staff - they even gave him reps at cornerback this offseason to enhance his profile - but he'll enter training camp on the bubble, and even if he retains a roster spot his playing time likely will remain minimal.

Should be healthy for OTAs
Melton (ankle) said he is expected to need roughly one month to recover from the injury he suffered Week 18 and may have been a candidate to return to action had Green Bay advanced to Super Bowl LX, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Melton declined to speculate on whether he'll enter the 2026 offseason working primarily at cornerback or wide receiver, but he noted that he expects to have that discussion with the Packers' coaching staff. He was moved to cornerback last offseason but contributed mostly as a backup receiver for Green Bay during the 2025 campaign. Melton will be a restricted free agent this offseason, giving the Packers the right to match any contract offers he receives from other teams or potentially receive draft pick compensation should he sign elsewhere.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
After spending nearly a full year on Green Bay's practice squad, Melton finally got a chance to show what he could do last December. He certainly made the most of the opportunity, racking up 100 yards and a score Week 17 and finding pay dirt again in the divisional round of the playoffs. Just 25 years old and blessed with 4.34 speed, there's reason to be excited about Melton's prospects. However, Green Bay has four other promising receivers, and he will have a tough time surpassing any of them on the depth chart. He's the favorite for the fifth spot, though, as Green Bay's receiver room looks almost exactly like it did when the 2023 season came to an end.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More receiver work Week 12?
Melton could serve in a prominent role in the Packers' offense Sunday, as three other wide receivers are listed as questionable to face the Vikings due to injuries.
ANALYSIS
Melton entered the league in 2022 as a wide receiver, but he spent the 2025 offseason converting to cornerback to give the Packers added depth in the secondary. However, Green Bay's wide receiver corps has been decimated by injuries this season, which saw Melton play a bigger role on offense against the Panthers in Week 10, when he caught two passes on five targets for 28 yards. Dontayvion Wicks and rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams are listed as questionable for Week 12, and any of their absences would likely result in Melton seeing more work in the passing game.
