The Packers are expected to have the same starting right tackle as last season when they take the field in September, but there will be a different name on the back of his jersey.
Packers T Zach Tom changes last name to Bako-Bewele
Zach Tom has changed his last name to Bako-Bewele, but is expected to start at right tackle for the Packers this season.
Scoring Zone's Take
Zach Tom—now officially Bako-Bewele—hasn't seen his role change one bit, so you can treat this purely as an administrative footnote rather than a fantasy signal. Both sources agree he's still slated to start at right tackle for Green Bay this season, which is really the only piece of information that matters for your draft prep.
For fantasy purposes, offensive tackles carry no standalone value in standard formats, so this news doesn't move him onto your radar as a draftable asset. Where it does matter is indirectly: a stable, entrenched starter at right tackle is a modest positive for the Packers' offensive line continuity, which in turn is a small, supporting tailwind for Jordan Love's pass protection and the overall passing game efficiency. If you're evaluating Love, Packers pass-catchers, or even Green Bay's stable of running backs in terms of offensive line health, this confirms no shakeup is coming at that spot — no new competition, no scheme change, nothing to downgrade or upgrade your evaluation of the skill players tied to this offense.
Action-wise, there's nothing to add, drop, or trade for here. Just make a mental note of the name change so you're not confused if he shows up differently on box scores or roster databases as the season progresses — you don't want to accidentally think there's a new player on the depth chart when it's the same starter. Confidence here is high on the facts themselves (100% confidence from both outlets), but the fantasy impact is properly rated at zero — this is roster trivia, not draft-strategy material.
