1. Jaire Alexander

Jaire Alexander has been PFF’s top cornerback for most of the season, once even reaching a grade just over 90. Unfortunately, he’s had a number of down weeks which has brought him all the way down to the fourth overall at his position and caused his grade to drop a whopping ten points.

In a perfect Packers’ gameplan, their offense lights up the scoreboard, forcing the opposition to be more one-sided and throw the ball against the up-and-coming Green Bay secondary. In that scenario, they need Alexander to revert to the elite corner we know he is becoming. He’s taken a huge leap in his third year and this could just be a blip on the radar, but it’s critical he returns to form fast–A.J. Brown and Allen Robinson are waiting for him in the final two contests.
