Here’s another guy the Packers have been connected with for a while now. They reportedly tried to trade for him at the deadline (right before he was suspended for the season), but didn’t want to pay the Houston Texans’ asking price for a soon-to-be free agent. And here we are as Green Bay has the potential to bring him on their roster once again.

With Allen Robinson and Chris Godwin being franchise-tagged, Fuller might be the second-best free agent remaining behind Kenny Golladay. Although he has never had more than 54 receptions or 900 receiving yards in a season, he’s a breakout candidate waiting to happen. He has elite speed and would make it extremely difficult for teams to double Adams while leaving Fuller one on one with a cornerback. On the other hand, defenses wouldn’t be able to give both guys extra attention. That sounds like the recipe for another hugely successful season for Rodgers and this offense.
