3 Packers who need more snaps in Week 10 and beyond

These three Green Bay Packers need to see the field more often in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and moving forward.

Despite starting the season with a 6-2 record, sitting atop both the NFC North standings and tied for the best record in the NFC, the Green Bay Packers have a few key areas they must improve on over the second half of the 2020 season. As they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10, these three players would benefit from an increase in playing time moving forward.

3. Kingsley Keke

Objectively, Kingsley Keke has been one of, if not the, best defensive lineman for the Packers. And that includes Kenny Clark who is having a down season. Keke’s PFF grade of 78.3 is the highest among defensive linemen on Green Bay’s roster with Tyler Lancaster (69.3), Kenny Clark (63.5), Montravius Adams (62.6) and Dean Lowry (53.4) all trailing him.

After only playing 16 snaps against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8, he doubled that total with 33 snaps against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9. And it’s no coincidence Green Bay’s defense was also much improved against the run in Week 9. It’s imperative for the Packers’ run defense that Keke continues to get more snaps moving forward.
