2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Moves up pecking order
Heath was targeted three times and had two receptions for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-19 victory over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The Packers were down a pair of wideouts in Week 5 and the biggest beneficiary was Heath, who got the start and played just as many snaps as Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. Heath will be behind both players, as well as Christian Watson (ankle) and Romeo Doubs (suspension), when the position group is at full strength, but he -- and not Bo Melton -- is the No. 5 option at wide receiver for the Packers.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
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
Could make Green Bay's roster
Matt Schneidman of The Athletic projects Heath to make the Packers' 53-man roster.
ANALYSIS
Schneidman has the Packers keeping six wide receivers, all of whom are rookies or second-year players. He believes Heath is at the top of a clustered bunch of players vying for the sixth spot behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Samori Toure and Dontayvion Wicks. Given the lack of established names ahead of him, the undrafted rookie from Ole Miss could have a chance to climb the depth chart during the season if he makes the team.
