Might as well have one big thread for all of these guys since so many of them seem to be making news to some degree and several are key fantasy players in re-draft and dynasty.
How do you think this group plays out this season and beyond?
A few of my random thoughts:
Donald Driver only played 3 snaps yesterday and those were due to Jennings tapping out. He's officially moved to the bottom of the depth chart.
Jennings and Rodgers have both spoken openly about this very possibly being Jennings final season in Green Bay. The timing of this, just before week 1, seemed odd to say the least. When you talk about being gone, does that translate to being mentally gone and phased out to a degree?
Jordy Nelson, I am convinced is the real deal, but I am also convinced that Rodgers and Nelson will likely never be able to duplicate the ridiculous percentage of big plays they hit on last season. If that big play connection is taken away or considerably reduced, his value could take a considerable shot. He should still be a red zone terror, however.
Randall Cobb is the guy most likely to see an uptick in snaps that could profoundly impact everyone in this group. He's clearly ahead of Driver finally and lining up everywhere including the backfield. You would expect him to start getting carries/pitches/end arounds at some point as the offense continues to evolve. Can he become an elite player - perhaps the most dangerous weapon in this group or is he merely an inconsistent gadget player going forward?
James Jones seemingly leads the league in coming back from the dead - especially for dynasty leaguers. Every time someone gives up on him, he flashes. The Packers started with Jones and Nelson out wide yesterday with Jennings in the slot which is a solid development for Jones. The question with this guy has always been consistency and opportunity. Can he ever string anything together to make the Packers feel comfortable enough to let Jennings walk without the tag or a new deal at the end of the year?
What do you make of this group as it continues to evolve this season and beyond?
