2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

One catch against Eagles
WRGreen Bay Packers
January 12, 2025
Melton recorded one catch on three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
The Packers were down several key pass catchers, as Christian Watson (knee) was inactive, while Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (head) were also forced to exit the game. That forced Melton into a more significant role, and he earned multiple targets in a game for just the sixth time in 18 total contests for the campaign. Melton has had moments of productivity in his first two years as a pro, but if he sticks with the Packers as a restricted free agent, he'll likely remain relatively buried on the depth chart.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
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.
