Potential Development From Role Players

Outside of Davante Adams and Allen Lazard, the Green Bay Packers lacked reliable receiving options that could create separation. There was often a requirement for creative play-design to help mitigate lack of individual impact, proving to to be too difficult to overcome against the San Francisco 49ers.

There is some reason for optimism regarding the Packers’ receiving corps heading into 2020. Both Marques Valdes-Cantling and Equanimeous St. Brown will each be entering their third season in the NFL. That’s typically when players experience noticeable growth in their contributions.

The options for Aaron Rodgers when running the offense would open up significantly with even the emergence of one of those third-year receivers taking another step forward in their respective development.

There’s also the possibility of Devin Funchess staying healthy and contributing, too. That may sound like a lot ‘if this happens’ and ‘if that happens’ sort of thinking, but there is a real outlook for Rodgers to have more help in 2020.
