9. Billy Turner

With the unfortunate news of David Bakhtiari’s season-ending knee injury, this list needed some reconfiguring. Originally, Billy Turner was much lower on this list, but the Packers are going to need him at his absolute best in the postseason.

The Packers haven’t lost very often in Matt LaFleur’s tenure, but when they have it’s been against teams with great defensive fronts. Losing Bakhtiari at left tackle makes Green Bay even more susceptible to a strong pass rush. Wherever Turner lines up (this year alone, he’s spent 171 snaps at left tackle, 244 at right guard and 423 at right tackle)–he’ll be counted upon more than ever to protect Aaron Rodgers and open up holes in the running game. He’s had his best season as a pro (according to PFF’s grades) and hopefully, that continues into the playoffs.
