If Driver does not play vs. STL... (1 Viewer)

With the possibility of Driver missing the game this Sunday against STL, what would happen to Jennings if Driver doesn't take the field? Does Jennings get more catches because he is now the #1 receiver? Does he get fewer catches because the defense will focus more on him without Driver to worrk about on the other side? Does he get about the same number of catches?

If Driver does not play, I would think Jennings would get a small bump in his projections, but nothing significant. Thoughts?

I think Koren Robinson would have tremendous value.

Driver is not really hurt. The only reason he will be in street clothes is in an effort to motivate Koren Robinson...

Seriously though, Jennings will have a solid game with Driver in or out. In fact, I predict he will outscore Driver whatever the case. I am starting him over Driver in one of my leagues.

everyone thinks jennings is so great 9 i think very good also), however driver is usually doubled or some sort of extra help from the safety leaving young jennings with single coverage he can usually beat. i say it goes down with this being a real test for jennings if he can produce with the better coverage on him for a change

Packers' Driver may not play Sunday

By Pete Dougherty

Donald Driver’s continued discomfort in his injured side caused him to miss practice Friday and puts into question the availability of the Green Bay Packers’ best receiver for Sunday’s game against St. Louis.

Driver injured his ribs and hip when he took a hard hit while trying to make a catch over the middle last week against Philadelphia.

He missed practice Wednesday, returned for practice Thursday but then was absent Friday while undergoing further diagnostic tests.
