Depth Chart Fantasy Impact
QB Aaron Rodgers is back for another season – but he’ll be without his top target. The Packers shipped WR Davante Adams to Las Vegas in March for 1st- and 2nd-round picks. Adams leads the NFL in receptions, receiving yards and receiving TDs over the last 4 seasons. He accounted for 34% of Green Bay’s receiving yards and 28% of the receiving TDs this past year.
The Packers also lost WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Chiefs in free agency. Arriving are 2nd-round rookie Christian Watson, 4th-round rookie Romeo Doubs and veteran Sammy Watkins.
Watson is a freak athlete – 6’4, 208 pounds with 4.3 speed and a 38.5-inch vertical – but he’s a raw route runner with inconsistent hands. He has a big jump to make coming from FCS-level North Dakota State.
Doubs was a 4-year starter at Nevada and posted an 80-1,109-11 line this past season. He doesn’t have Watson’s upside but might be more NFL-ready.
Watkins will be playing for his 3rd team in 3 seasons after flaming out with a 37-421-2 line in Kansas City in 2020 and a 27-394-1 in Baltimore last year. Now 29, Watkins isn’t a good bet to make a big impact in Green Bay.
The losses of Adams and Valdes-Scantling creates opportunity for returnees Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb. Lazard’s 513 yards last year marked a career high. But he’s been efficient, averaging 9.1 yards per target over the past 3 seasons. Cobb turns 32 in August but has 9 seasons of experience with Rodgers and the Packers. 2021 3rd-rounder Amari Rodgers will push Cobb for slot snaps.
Green Bay lost RT Billy Turner to Denver but will hope to get healthier seasons from OTs David Bakhtiara and Elgton Jenkins, who missed a combined 25 games last year with knee issues.
