SAMORI TOURE NEWS

Suits up 11 times as rookie Toure was targeted 10 times and caught five passes for 82 yards and a touchdown over 11 games in the 2022 season.

Impact Toure made only a minimal impact in his rookie season, but the seventh-rounder did spend the entire campaign on the 53-man roster and made a couple plays around the midway point. He will have a chance to carve out a role as a sophomore, but he will find himself behind fellow youngsters Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, and likely at least another player or two.

Packers rookie review: WR Samori Toure Reviewing the rookie season of Packers wide receiver Samori Toure, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 draft.

FEBRUARY 3, 2023 • USATODAY.COM

Tallies first catch since Week 9 Toure was targeted once and caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears.

Impact After finishing fifth among Packers wideouts in snaps in back-to-back weeks, Toure placed fourth in that department Sunday and hauled in his first pass since Week 9. Toure was still on the field for only 12 plays, and he could be knocked back down a run when the Packers return to action in Week 15, as fellow rookie wideout Romeo Doubs (ankle) will likely be ready to get back on the field following Green Bay's Week 14 bye.

Snaps dwindle again Toure played four snaps and was not targeted in Thursday's 27-17 loss to the Titans.

Impact Since playing a season-high 25 snaps in Week 9, Toure was on the field for just 12 plays the following week and only a third of that number one game later. Barring an injury to one of his fellow wideouts, his role will likely remain limited in the Packers' Week 12 matchup with the Eagles.

Reduced role in Week 10 Toure played 12 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-28 overtime victory over the Cowboys but was not targeted.

Impact Toure had a bit of momentum heading into Week 10, but that came to a halt, as he did not see a pass in his direction and played eight fewer snaps than Sammy Watkins -- who finished a distant third in the snap count department behind Allen Lazard and Christian Watson. Toure will remain in the mix as long as fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Randall Cobb (ankle) are sidelined, but given how Watson (4-107-3 on eight targets) fared in Week 10, Toure's stock may have plateaued.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gains 34 yards in loss Toure pulled in two of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 15-9 loss to the Lions.

Impact Starting wideout Romeo Dobbs (ankle) was carted off the field in the first half, so Toure saw his role elevated for the second week in a row. The seventh-round rookie was unable to reproduce last week's trip to the end zone, but he has now seen four targets in consecutive games. If Dobbs -- who was seen on crutches after the game -- is forced to miss next week's tilt against the Cowboys, Toure could generate enough targets for those in deeper formats or as a flier in DFS tournaments.

Finds pay dirt for first time Toure was targeted four times and caught one pass for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

Impact Toure was shut out for most of Sunday's contest, but he did reach the end zone for the first time as a professional late in the final frame. With a credited start and a score on his ledger over the last two weeks, his stock is on the rise a bit. However, even with the Packers shorthanded at his position, Toure did not play more than 15 snaps in either contest, so he's going to need to spend more time on the field to have a chance to be a fantasy factor.

Sees first NFL action Toure hauled in his lone target and picked up four yards in Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Toure suited up Sunday for the first time as a professional and was credited with a start, but he only saw one pass in his direction and finished fourth among Packers wideouts in offensive snaps. It remains to be seen what the Packers' receiving corps will look like next Sunday against the Bills, but it's unlikely Toure's role will get upgraded significantly.

Not playing Sunday Toure (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Jets.

Impact Toure has yet to play this season. The rookie will continue trying to earn a chance to suit up, with his next opportunity being against the Commanders in Week 7.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive again in Week 4 Toure (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Toure was unable to suit up when Green Bay's receiving corps was banged-up recently, but only Sammy Watkins (hamstring, IR) isn't healthy at the moment, and the 2022 seventh-rounder still is unavailable to the offense. This may be Toure's reality as a rookie, while Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs, Randall Cobb, Christian Watson and Amari Rodgers serve as Aaron Rodgers' options at wide receiver Sunday.

Inactive Sunday Toure (coach's decision) will not play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Toure has yet to be active this season. The seventh-round selected rookie will have to continue to wait to make his NFL debut, despite the absences of Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson due to hamstring injuries.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive once again Toure (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Toure will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week to begin the regular season. The rookie seventh-rounder's next chance to make his professional debut will be next Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Three catches in first appearance Toure was targeted four times and caught three passes for 42 yards in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers.

Impact Toure was busy in his first professional appearance, playing more snaps than any receiver besides Amari Rodgers. He made the most of his opportunity, turning two of his catches -- and nearly the third -- into first downs. The seventh-rounder certainly didn't hurt his chances of earning a roster spot, but he still faces an uphill climb to come away with one.
