Heath (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's Week 1 game in Brazil against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heath had a nice preseason that helped him make Green Bay's 53-man roster, but he won't play in the team's first game of the regular season. That leaves the Packers with five active receivers for the contest -- Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton. Heath may need an injury to a wideout (or two) ahead of him in the pecking order to see regular offensive snaps during the campaign.

Heath caught four of five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Heath was one of several young wideouts to get promoted to the starting lineup in place of resting starters in Saturday's conclusion to exhibition play. The 24-year-old put a bow on a solid preseason as the team's leading receiver, giving him a legitimate shot to make Green Bay's roster or practice squad ahead of the regular season kicking off.

Heath was targeted four times and caught two passes for 22 yards in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Heath did not draw a target until the second quarter of Saturday's contest, but he wound up playing 38 snaps -- the second most among Packers wideouts. Heath entered training camp as Green Bay's presumptive sixth option at the wide receiver spot, but he is being pushed for the spot by fellow sophomore Grant DuBose, who led the team in receiving Saturday.

Heath was targeted 24 times and had 15 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown over 13 regular-season games in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

The undrafted rookie earned himself a roster spot and hung onto it all season, and although he did not do a lot on the stat sheet he did have a few moments. He could have been more involved if Green Bay did not have a glut of productive receivers, but alas he finished his first season sixth on the depth chart at his position. All five wideouts ahead of him are set to return in 2024, but he figures to remain a part of the mix.

Heath was targeted four times and caught three passes for nine yards in Sunday's 17-9 victory over the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Heath opened Sunday's contest as the fifth option at the wideout spot, and he finished it fourth with fellow wideout Romeo Doubs (chest) exiting early. Heath caught at least one pass in the final eight games of the regular season, but he will remain primarily a depth piece when the playoffs get underway.

Heath was targeted twice and caught one pass for 13 yards in Sunday's 33-10 victory over the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Heath was pretty busy Sunday, finishing third among Packers wideouts with 46 of a possible 74 snaps, but he made only a minor mark in the box score. Three of the receivers ahead of him on the depth chart are banged up, so he could see more opportunities in Week 18. However, given how Bo Melton played the last two weeks, Heath would likely be no higher than the third option at his position in any scenario.

Heath was targeted three times and caught three passes for 29 yards in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Heath saw a few extra snaps with fellow wideout Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined again, and he recorded at least one reception for the fifth time in as many weeks. Although Heath is contributing at least somewhat consistently these days, it will be tough for him to make much of an impact unless two players ahead of him on the depth chart are unavailable, and even in that scenario he would still be Green Bay's third option at the wide receiver spot.

Heath was targeted twice and caught one pass for six yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-22 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Heath nearly notched his first touchdown on the penultimate play the Packers ran in Monday's contest, and he wound up reaching the end zone for the first time as a professional just one play later. Heath did not do a lot in Monday's game, but he did play his most snaps in a game since Week 1, and he could play an expanded role again in Week 15 with at least a couple of his fellow wideouts injured.

Heath was targeted four times and caught four passes for 46 yards in Thursday's 29-22 victory over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Heath worked as Green Bay's fourth receiver Thursday with fellow rookie wideout Dontayvion Wicks (concussion/knee) unavailable, and he turned in easily the most productive game of the season. The undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss will likely lose out on some snaps if Wicks plays in Week 13 versus the Chiefs, but Thursday's effort only solidified his standing on the depth chart.

Heath caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Heath hardly stood out in Week 11, but he did tally his most snaps since Week 1 and recorded the first reception of his career. The rookie has surpassed fellow wideout Samori Toure at the bottom of on the depth chart and heads into Week 12 as Green Bay's No. 5 option at the wide receiver spot.
