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.

Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters Wednesday that Melton will mostly play at corner during training camp and the preseason, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Melton received reps at corner during minicamp in June. It appears the 2022 seventh-rounder will officially make the switch to defense, though he'll likely operate as a depth piece in the secondary behind Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Nate Hobbs. Melton appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Packers in 2024 and posted eight catches (on 17 targets) for 91 yards while adding eight carries for 54 yards.

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.
Melton is an interesting prospect coming out of Rutgers. Posting 1,256 receiving yards over his final two seasons in college isn't that interesting, but the team passed for just 4,027 yards in that span, meaning Melton was often the focal point of the Scarlet Knights' putrid offense. Then, he ran a 4.34 40-yard dash and added a 38-inch vertical at the combine to paint a favorable athletic profile. He'll need to beat out Dee Eskridge and Freddie Swain to capture the No. 3 wideout role, a job that doesn't come with many perks when sitting behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Working out at corner
CBGreen Bay Packers
June 10, 2025
Melton worked out at cornerback in Tuesday's minicamp practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Melton was drafted as a wide receiver in 2023 and had moments of production in his rookie season. However, he took a step back in 2024 and faces additional competition for snaps and targets from rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams heading into the new campaign. That could leave Melton on the outside looking in for a roster spot, so perhaps positional versatility will give him a path to remaining on the roster in Green Bay.
