The Packers placed FitzPatrick (Achilles) on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick suffered a season-ending right Achilles tear during Saturday's loss to the Bears, Zach Kruse of USA Today reports. Additional testing confirmed the severity of FitzPatrick's injury Sunday. The timing of his injury could impact his availability for the start of the 2026 campaign. The depth tight end logged 15 regular-season appearances in 2025, in which span he secured 12 of 15 targets for 72 yards and one score.

FitzPatrick, who injured his Achilles during an overtime loss to Chicago on Sunday, exited the locker room with a walking boot on his right foot after the game, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Achilles injuries tend to be more than minor, especially when they're the non-contact variety, as FitzPatrick's was. It's certainly not a good sign for FitzPatrick's availability moving forward that he left in a walking boot after Saturday's loss, though an official diagnosis may not be announced until after he undergoes further evaluation. Packers coach Matt LaFleur seemed to be resigned to having to look for another tight end to fill FitzPatrick's void for at least the short-term future, saying postgame, "I'm sure we have guys capable on our practice squad. We'll take a look at that and come up with a solution," per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com.

FitzPatrick has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Week 16 contest against Chicago due to an Achilles injury.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury in the second half. Prior to his exit, he drew one passing target, which he didn't catch. Green Bay was already short on tight ends with Josh Whyle (concussion) unable to suit up Saturday. Luke Musgrave is the only healthy player left at the position for Green Bay for the remainder of the NFC North battle.

FitzPatrick caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick finished Week 15 with yet another underwhelming performance despite leading all Packers tight ends in offensive snaps and posting season highs in targets, catches and yards. Teammate Luke Musgrave, however, was the better fantasy option, recording four receptions on six targets for 52 yards. Based on his limited production, FitzPatrick should remain far off the fantasy radar as the Packers get set to visit the Bears in Week 16.

FitzPatrick was targeted twice and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-21 victory over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick led Packers tight ends in snaps for the third time in four games after falling behind both Luke Musgrave and Josh Whyle in Week 13, but as was the case previously, it did not lead to much in the box score. While FitzPatrick has the edge in playing time, Musgrave remains the Packers tight end to consider for fantasy purposes with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season.

FitzPatrick didn't catch his only target in a 31-24 win over Detroit on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick again took the field with Green Bay's starters, but he got exactly one target for the third straight week. After surpassing a 60 percent offensive snap share each of the previous two weeks, he logged just a 24 percent share Thursday, while Luke Musgrave (59 percent) and Josh Whyle (51 percent) worked well ahead of him in the tight-end pecking order. That could be an indication that Whyle is going to eat more into FitzPatrick's opportunities moving forward.

FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-6 victory over the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick was credited with a start for the second time in as many weeks, and he led Packers tight ends in snaps just like he did in Week 11. FitzPatrick is spending far more time on the field than he did before fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) went down, but with two catches for 16 yards over the last two contests it has not been indicated in the box score.

FitzPatrick was targeted once and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

It may not be obvious in the box score, but FitzPatrick was credited with his first career start Sunday, and he wound up playing 16 more snaps than fellow tight end Luke Musgrave, who it was assumed would take over as Green Bay's top option at the position with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season. It remains to be seen how the playing time will be divided among the two -- as well as Josh Whyle, who scored in Week 11 -- moving forward, but none are particularly appealing fantasy options at this point.

FitzPatrick was not targeted in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick played 18 snaps in Week 9 but did not have a pass thrown his direction for the third time in five games. He will likely be more involved moving forward with fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the season, but just how much remains to be seen -- he presumably remains the second option at his position behind Luke Musgrave.

FitzPatrick corralled his lone target for a four-yard reception Sunday in the Packers' 35-25 win over the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

FitzPatrick took the field for 22 of the Packers' 64 offensive snaps, with his 34 percent share placing him ahead of Luke Musgrave (19 percent) for second among the team's tight ends. Starter Tucker Kraft continued to lead the way in both playing time (59 snaps) and production (7-143-2 receiving line on nine targets) by a healthy margin, and so long as Kraft stays healthy, FitzPatrick won't have much of an opportunity to see his role on offense expand.
