3 Packers who need more snaps in Week 10 and beyond
2. Tyler Ervin
With the Packers getting healthier on offense–thanks to the pending return of Allen Lazard and Aaron Jones returning in Week 9–it’s critical they continue to keep Tyler Ervin involved.
As a running back turned wide receiver, Ervin definitely fills a niche role for Green Bay, however, it’s an important niche. He often motions on offense, carrying out fakes and keeping the defense honest for the actual ball-carriers. This has opened up big holes for Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams on more than one occasion. If Matt LaFleur wants him to continue being a useful decoy, it’s important he’s not only on the field more but also starts getting the rock a couple more times a game.
