Over the past three seasons, with Matt LaFleur as their head coach, the Green Bay Packers’ wide receivers have caught 643 passes for 8,312 yards and 67 touchdowns on 980 targets, with the best success coming in 2021 (244/3,107/27). Davante Adams accounted for almost 50% of their production at wideout over this span (321/3,924/34 on 445 targets). His loss in the offseason leaves a glaring WR1 hole in Green Bay’s offense. Unfortunately, replacing greatness doesn’t happen by plugging a name into the starting slot. There has been much attention placed on the Packers’ receiving corps this preseason.
