4. Marquez Valdes-Scantling wins third receiver spot and amasses 400 receiving yards.

One of the biggest question marks on the Packers’ offense is who will start on the outside Davante Adams. Adams is obviously locked in as the No. 1 receiver with Randall Cobb lining up in the slot as the No. 2. Also, don’t be surprised to see “tight end” Jimmy Graham lined up all over the field as well.

Even with those three weapons, Green Bay needs to decide who their all-important third receiver will be after Jordy Nelson was released this offseason. They used three selections, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, J’Mon Moore and Equanimeous St. Brown, in the middle of the draft with the hopes one of them will step up.

And they’re in luck! Valdes-Scantling, the first of the three receivers picked, will step up and rise to the challenge. Green Bay doesn’t need a whole bunch from their third receiver considering the amount of attention the other guys will receive. This means he will likely see the opposing teams worst corner and consistently face single coverage. Still, Valdes-Scantling will do enough to amass at least 400 yards receiving in 2018.
