GB WR#2 (1 Viewer)

[Late225]

I think this position has a ton of fantasy potential.

But who will it be? Does James Jones re-sign?

If not, does Driver hold onto #2 or is it Jordy Nelson's time?

With the Packers spread offense, I wouldn't count on the WR2 to be startable in most FF leagues.

Packers, Saints, Patriots are all mostly the same...a big question mark as to who will produce on any given week. Jennings, Finley, Colston, Welker all have the most potential, but even they have down games due to the design of the offense.

With Jennings and Finley, how many targets will a WR2 see?

New addition Randall Cobb, Driver, Nelson, James Jones(if he resigns), and James Starks are all good receiving options. Rodgers isn't afraid to spread the ball around either.

Cobb is the most talented

Cobb is the most talented

I agree, but he might be destined for the slot for at least a couple of years for a few reasons:1) Cobb isn't signed and has little to no work with players/coaches thus far.2) Cobb is new to the WR position. At UK he had to be Mr. Everything QB/RB/WR/returner. He needs time to learn and develop at the WR position.3) Cobb will be the primary punt returner.In 2 years, I expect Cobb to be the #3 option in GB.

This year I think it will be Nelson, but down the road I see Cobb turning into Percy Harvin without the migraines.

My guess is that it breaks down something like this:

Jennings-1,150 yards

Finley-950

Nelson-750

Driver-600

I think those are the main 4 guys this year and that Cobb will step in for Driver next year. (I think Jones is gone in FA.)

I've done a little research on the Packers WR situation as I recently decided to draft Nelson in a dynasty startup. While I did come to the decision that Nelson's upside was worth the draft pick, I also came away concerned that Driver will have another year or two of solid numbers. Many Packers fans seem to think that his demise has been exaggerated and it was more due to injuries that his numbers were down last year than fading skills.

From a fantasy perspective, it would be great to see a true #2 WR target (3rd target overall after Finley/Jennings) emerge as that Packers offense is obviously prolific enough to support 3 relevant fantasy targets. However, I think there is a decent chance that Nelson, Driver and Cobb all get theirs throughout the course of the season and none of them truly rise to the level of startable.

As a Packer fan, that seems spot on.

not sure on the number split, but it will be a dog's breakfast after Jfin and Jennings.

Could one of them be a worthwhile #2? Yes. Between Driver and Nelson, not sure. I think Cobb will be behind those two. And I am assuming Jones is adios

This makes no sense to me at all...First off Jennings is sure to get over 1,000 yards this year but 1,500 is pushing it because he career high was only 1,292. And i think Cobb should be added to this poll. I really don't think Jones will be back next year and Driver seems to be fading. Jennings - 1,150 - 8Finley - 850 - 9Nelson - 600 - 7Driver - 550 - 2Cobb - 400 - 7 (total)

Entire post that his projections make no sense and then yours mirror very closely. He said 1150 for Jennings which you questioned and then matched.

I would try to figure it out in catches rather than yards. Say Jennings and Finley both have ~75 catches. Misc. RB/TE/tertiary WR get another 75.

That leaves about 125 catches for possibly fantasy-worthy WRs. Plausibly we are looking for a guy who will get 60 of those catches for maybe 800 yards "with upside" as they say.

I think that guy is going to be Jordy Nelson. If Driver is still around very late in drafts he's worth a pick though.

I think it will be Jordy Nelson. The SB showed how good of a connection he and Rodgers had. I really think he could be fantasy relevant soon
