2. Allen Lazard

Allen Lazard has picked up right where he left off a season ago. He’s caught at least three passes and recorded at least 45 yards in each of the Packers’ first three games. Of course, that includes the breakout game against the Saints last week when he hauled in six receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown.

Aaron Rodgers has shown time and time again he trusts Lazard in critical situations; the ball always seems to find him on third down. With Davante Adams continuing to work his way back from a hamstring injury and his status in the air for Monday night’s contest, Lazard could once again be thrust into the role of primary playmaker. Is he up for the task again?
