Ed Policy was named the next president of the Green Bay Packers on Monday.
The team's board of directors unanimously selected Policy for the job from a large pool of candidates. He also will hold the titles of chairman of the board and CEO and will assume the roles in July 2025 upon the retirement of Mark Murphy.
Policy currently serves as Green Bay's general counsel and chief operating officer.
"Ed has been a tremendous asset to the organization during his 12 years here and has been greatly instrumental in our success," Murphy said in a news release. "He is highly respected -- both in the building and within the NFL. I've enjoyed working with him and am confident he will be an excellent steward for the organization."
The Packers are the only community-owned team in the NFL, and Policy, 53, will become the public face of the franchise.
"This is the absolute best job in sports. We are the stewards of the most iconic and unique organization in all of professional sports," he said. "I am excited to continue to work with so many talented teammates who have ensured the Packers' consistent success on and off the field. We are the people's team, and I love being a part of it."
Policy's experience includes nine years with the Arena Football League, which culminated in him serving as commissioner, president and CEO (2008-09).
His father, Carmen Policy, was the president and CEO of the San Francisco 49ers during their Super Bowl-winning seasons in the 1980s and ‘90s and later of the Cleveland Browns.
Hot Plays, Fades and Sleepers: Week 10
Dynasty | Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had 11 catches for 264 yards and three touchdowns in a loss against Baltimore. Dynasty Analysis: Unreal. There's a debate in dynasty circles about who the best player to have on a roster is, but it's hard to argue against Chase, who has an elite level quarterback and a skill set second to none in the league. The amazing thing is these totals aren't even career highs for him, despite posting more than 50 fantasy points on his own in this contest. His 457 yards against Baltimore in two games set an NFL record for most receiving yards against one opponent in the regular season. This WR1 is locked into lineups for the next decade and is nearly untouchable in dynasty leagues.
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is no longer a surefire top-10 ranked tight end on a weekly basis with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least four games. Ferguson has yet to score a touchdown in 2024 and while he should serve as backup quarterback Cooper Rush's security blanket, his upside takes a hit. Philadelphia has the fourth-best defense against opposing tight ends this season, further muddying the situation for Ferguson. He grades as a low-end TE1 this week and can still be started in most situations, but his ceiling is capped.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has slowed down fantasy-wise after his hot start to the season as the offense has sputtered in recent weeks. Aubrey faces a tough matchup in Week 10 against a strong Eagles' defense. With quarterback Cooper Rush under center, the offense may take another step back and field goal opportunities could be limited. Aubrey can still be started, but fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for their kicker in Week 10.

The Dallas Cowboys' defense has severely underperformed in 2024 with many key players missing time. Heading into a Week 10 matchup with a surging Philadelphia Eagles offense, it appears that Micah Parsons (ankle) may return after logging limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Even with Parsons back in the lineup, this unit is still beaten up and should be avoided for fantasy purposes this week.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was held out of the Week 9 loss due to disciplinary reasons, but the veteran is expected back in the lineup for Week 10's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Elliott is completely off the fantasy radar after ceding the lead-back role to Rico Dowdle. Furthermore, Philadelphia's defense ranks third against opposing running backs. Elliott can be left on the waiver wire and should not be in any lineups this week.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert scored a touchdown in last week's loss, connecting with backup quarterback Cooper Rush late in the game. Week 10's matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles is not an easy one, with wide receivers scoring the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game against Philadelphia's secondary. CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) has been a limited participant in practice this week and is trending towards playing, meaning Tolbert is not guaranteed a safe target volume. He should not be started this week with Cooper Rush under center.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush has been thrust into the starting role with Dak Prescott (hamstring) headed to injured reserve. The 30-year-old career backup has played well in place of Prescott in the past, but Sunday's matchup against a stingy Philadelphia secondary is not the spot to trust him in. Rush grades as a high-end QB3 this week and can be considered as a QB2 option in deep leagues.
From RotoBaller
Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has captured the lead role in the backfield over the past few weeks, but the offense may lose some efficiency with quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) set to miss at least the next four games. Dowdle should see significant volume coming off of an RB1 finish a week ago, but the matchup against Philadelphia's third-ranked run defense is far from ideal. He can be considered a flex option with a fairly lower floor than usual this week.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor grabbed his second touchdown in three games during the comeback win over the Bengals on Thursday. The veteran finished with one reception for a six-yard score on two targets. He continues to be a touchdown-dependent fantasy option who is only relevant in very deep leagues. With the addition of Diontae Johnson, Agholor moves to the third or fourth receiver, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to score every week. The Ravens will go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Khalil Herbert was traded from Chicago on Tuesday before the trade deadline. It was surprising that the team activated him for his first game after just two days of practice. He only played 2% of the offensive snaps and didn't register any touches in the box score. He did fumble the hand-off on one play but was able to recover it. He'll have some extra time with the team and the playbook as the Bengals take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers received plenty of attention from the Cincinnati Bengals' defense on Thursday night. Flowers received the third-most targets with six of them and finished with four receptions for 34 yards. A lot of his opportunities were short-to-mid throws which explains the average of 8.4 yards per catch. While the defense keyed on Flowers, the other pass-catchers got free for plenty of yards and touchdowns. The speedy wideout will look to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews went into Thursday night with the hope of more snaps and involvement and cashed in during the 35-34 victory. With Isaiah Likely (hamstring) sidelined, Andrews received seven targets which he turned into six receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown. This was his second-best output of the season and his highest snap share of the year with 87%. Whenever Likely is out, Andrews gains some big-time fantasy value and becomes a borderline must-start. He'll look to replicate this performance in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman continues the best season of his career as he caught another touchdown pass in the Week 10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The former first-round pick finished with six receptions for 54 yards and a score on eight targets. Bateman is now 14 yards shy of his career-high for receiving yards in a single season and has done so with 15 fewer receptions so far. He's starting to turn a corner and become the big-play receiver that the Ravens hoped he would be. His next chance to score will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace broke out for the best game of his career on Thursday night in the 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old finished the contest with three receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown on three targets. He produced a game-changing moment when he caught a sideline pass from Lamar Jackson, broke a tackle, and ran down the field to complete an 84-yard touchdown play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Wallace has the speed to break off some big plays, but he's fourth on the depth chart at best. He'll try to shake free again in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry seemed like he was headed for a fantasy dud as the offense couldn't get much going during the first half on Thursday night. Luckily, Henry scored on a goalline run towards the end of the third quarter and salvaged his fantasy week for many managers. He ended the game with 68 yards and one score on 16 carries with one reception for three yards. The only threat to Henry's fantasy output is the defense allowing tons of points to force games into a shootout. He'll try to find some running room against the Steelers in Week 11.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues his marvelous season as he led the team to a comeback win over their AFC North rivals on Thursday night. In the 35-34 win, Jackson registered 290 yards and four touchdowns while throwing 25-for-33 and adding 33 yards on seven carries. The offense had a slow start to the game but put 28 points in the second half including a 21-point fourth quarter. Jackson completed passes to nine different receivers while delivering touchdown strikes to four of them. He's already tied his passing touchdown mark from last season in six fewer games while he tries to go for even more against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has been limited all week at practice due to a shoulder injury. According to Ian Rapoport, the former number-one overall pick is unlikely to play against the Vikings in Week 10. While he hasn't been ruled out officially, Rapoport points to the fact that Lawrence has been very limited this week leading up to their game. If he's unable to suit up, backup Mac Jones would step in and make his first start since Week 12 of the 2023 season. A clearer picture will be available after the injury report comes out on Friday.
From RotoBaller
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) was forced to leave Thursday night's game after making an awkward plant on his right foot. He did not return to the game, but Ian Rapoport is now saying that the star safety suffered an ankle sprain and it's not considered serious. With how bad the Ravens' defense has been, losing Hamilton for any amount of time would have been a devastating hit. He'll get a few extra days to prepare for Week 11, but his status will be something to monitor throughout next week.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had four catches for 30 yards in Thursday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran had two touchdowns in the win over the Raiders in Week 9. However, he cooled off significantly on Thursday. Granted, he had nine targets from Joe Burrow. Still, fantasy managers were disappointed with the end result. With the Bengals sitting on a 4-6 record, the team will look to rebound in Week 11 against a capable Chargers defense. Gesicki should be viewed as a risky, high-upside fantasy option for that one, although his outlook won't be as favorable if Tee Higgins (quadriceps) is back on the field.
From RotoBaller
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson had 42 yards and a touchdown off six catches in Thursday's loss to the Ravens. With Erick All Jr. (knee) done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, Hudson had a chance to get more involved behind Mike Gesicki. He made the most of his opportunity, although Cincinnati couldn't pull off a win. Hudson easily had his best showing of the season on Thursday. However, the 29-year-old still has more work to do before earning a spot in fantasy lineups moving ahead.
