Wide receiver: Davante Adams and Randall Cobb

I could have gone with three starting receivers, but because of the Packers lack of depth at the position, I only chose to roll with Davante  Adams and Randall Cobb.

Adams is set to have a heck of a season, granted he can stay healthy. He hasn’t yet had that monster year, but look for that all to change this season. He has very good rapport with Rodgers and is the most talented player at the position. It’s only a matter of time.

Cobb was having a nice season with Rodgers under center last year before he got hurt against the Minnesota Vikings. When Brett Huntley stepped in, Cobb’s production took a dramatic shift in the wrong direction. He should be extra motivated this year thanks to the final year of his contract and money waiting to be armed for future seasons.
