Drake made the announcement after eight seasons in the NFL. He totaled 5,521 yards from scrimmage with 41 touchdowns.

The Green Bay Packers have activated RB Kenyan Drake off of their practice squad ahead of Week 15 against Tampa Bay.

Drake was activated last week as well but did not end up logging a single snap. However, this week there's a chance he could see some time as both AJ Dillon (thumb) and Aaron Jones (knee) are banged up. The latter is expected to play, but the former is less likely. Despite this, he should have minimal appeal for fantasy managers in Week 15.

The Green Bay Packers have elevated RB Kenyan Drake to their active roster ahead of their Week 14 Monday Night Football contest with the New York Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Drake just recently signed with the Packers and is being called upon with Aaron Jones not expected to play. The veteran RB has barely played in 2023 but can add depth with Jones out, AJ Dillon beat up and Emmanuel Wilson on injured reserve, though he likely holds little to no fantasy value outside of more injuries.

Kenyan Drake posted on his Twitter account implying that he is signing with the Green Bay Packers.

Drake has only made an appearance in two games this season, both as a member of the Baltimore Ravens. He was released by the Ravens on Oct. 17 and later by the Browns on Nov. 28, where he was a member of Cleveland's practice squad. Given Green Bay's injuries at the RB position, a union with Drake would make sense given their need for RB depth and their recent release of RB James Robinson.

The Cleveland Browns released RB Kenyan Drake from its practice squad.

Drake was replaced by John Kelly Jr. on the practice squad. This was a depth move for Cleveland.
