2025 Fantasy Outlook
Heath has proven to be a quality find for the Packers, who scooped him up from the list of undrafted rookie free agents in 2023 and benefited from his 25 receptions and three scores in 26 appearances across the past two seasons. However, he has resided on the fringes of the roster, and that was before Mecole Hardman and rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams were added this offseason. Heath has familiarity on his side, but even with Christian Watson in recovery mode from a torn ACL, he'll head into training camp well down on the depth chart. Read Past Outlooks

WRFree Agent
December 6, 2025
The Packers waived Heath on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Heath played in 11 games for the Packers this season, totaling six receptions for 86 yards on seven targets. The waiving of the wide receiver likely has to do with the potential return of both Jayden Reed (foot) and Matthew Golden (wrist). Heath will now revert to the waiver wire, and if he clears, he will become a free agent or moved to the Packers' practice squad.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Heath went undrafted in 2023, but he was scooped up by the Packers and made waves nearly from the start. He didn't stand out in any one area, but he spent the duration of the campaign on the team's 53-man roster and filled in effectively when injuries hit. A player in his situation would generally have a chance to earn a larger role in his second season, but he'll enter training camp behind five others on the depth chart and will be pushing the Packers to head into Week 1 with six wideouts.
Heath was not selected in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the Packers snapped him up as an undrafted free agent, and that turned out to be a prudent move, as he made noise during offseason workouts. The Packers brought in several rookie wideouts, but given their youth at the position Heath will have a chance to come away with a roster spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for more snaps Week 9
WRGreen Bay Packers
November 1, 2025
Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reported Friday that Dontayvion Wicks will miss a second straight game due to a calf injury, which means Heath is in line to serve as Green Bay's No. 4 wideout against Carolina on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Heath was limited to just two catches on as many targets for 46 yards through the first six games of the regular season. Even with fellow wideout Christian Watson making his season debut in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Steelers, Heath still managed to work in an expanded role in the absence of Wicks, with Heath hauling in three passes for 29 yards on three targets. With Wicks out for a second straight week, Heath and rookie third-rounder Savion Williams will operate as the Packers' depth wideouts behind Watson, Romeo Doubs and rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden.
