4. Packers’ young offensive player who could shine: Equanimeous St. Brown

After being selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Equanimeous St. Brown has mostly been an afterthought to the two other receivers who were selected in the same year. Most of that has been due to injuries–he only played in 12 games in his rookie campaign before missing all of 2019 and the first five weeks of 2020–but he still has some pep in his step.

In 11 games this season, St. Brown has just seven receptions for 117 yards and one touchdown so don’t expect him to put up huge numbers as the Packers’ fourth receiver. However, defenses are set to pay Davante Adams more attention than ever before meaning St. Brown could have some opportunities to capitalize on–something he did in Week 16 against the Tennesee Titans.
