2. Davante Adams

It didn’t matter who was at quarterback for the Packers in 2017, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Hundley or your uncle Joe, Adams was going to dominate the game and put up big numbers.

At the end of the season, his numbers of 885 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns don’t look overly impressive, but it comes with a caveat (and I’m not talking about the quarterback play). Adams only appeared in 14 games for the Packers and had two others cut short due to dirty hits from opposing teams that left him concussed. Essentially, that means he only played 12 games fully healthy.

With Adams ready to go for the start of the 2018 season and Rodgers back behind center, Adams should light the league on fire this year. Don’t be surprised if he comes close to 1300 yards and 13 touchdowns as one of the primary options in the Packers’ offense.
