Green Bay Packers: 3 Big Questions Surrounding 53-Man Roster

 Do the Green Bay Packers have enough firepower at WR?

This is a question that has been asked all offseason, and most are quick to point out that the answer is no.

While I can understand why many feel that way, as the Packers receiving corps had an underwhelming 2019 season and their only significant offseason addition, Devin Funchess, opted-out, I don’t see this being as big of a concern as most do. However, that’s not to say that this group doesn’t come with its question marks.

Of course, we all know how good Davante Adams is, but can Allen Lazard be an effective No. 2 option in a full-time role? Will Valdes-Scantling build off of his strong training camp performance, or disappear in the second half of the season as he did in 2018 and 2019? It was a quiet camp for Equanimeous St. Brown; how will he look coming off an injury? And will Malik Taylor be able to show the rest of us why Matt LaFleur has so much confidence in him?

Now, something that needs to be acknowledged is that the days of running five-wide are long gone. Under LaFleur, we are going to continue seeing more two and three-receiver sets and a reliance on the running backs and tight ends to be effective in the passing game.

So when we look at it that way, the Green Bay Packers do have a lot of pass-catching options available. But when looking at the receivers specifically, you can’t help but wonder how this unit will perform in 2020.
