9 Risers and Fallers in Packers Week 1 Stock Market
Bull Market (Stock Rising)
Biggest Risers: Jordan Love, David Bakhtiari, Romeo Doubs, Aaron Jones, Quay Walker, Devonte Wyatt
Jordan Love’s PFF grade wasn’t as friendly as the others on this list, but I bumped him up anyway. It was a great start for him, and he can build some momentum moving forward.
I was worried about David Bakhtiari not practicing and what it meant for his long-term health. However, it doesn’t appear he needs any practice, considering he didn’t give up any pressure in 30 pass-blocking snaps.
Romeo Doubs and Aaron Jones were the stars of the Packers’ offense. Doubs had two very nice catches for touchdowns, including a tightly contested one on a designed run play. Jones is the heart and soul of the Packers’ offense–they go as he goes. Hopefully, he’ll be okay following a 35-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter in which he tweaked his hamstring.
Lastly, 2022 first-rounders Quay Walker and Devonte Wyatt came to play. Walker, of course, had the pick-six, but he was very good outside of that as well. Wyatt got plenty of pressure on Fields, even if he struggled to bring him down consistently. He finished the game with a team-high 1.5 sacks.
Others: Zach Tom, Rashan Gary, Rasul Douglas, Darnell Savage, Preston Smith, Eric Wilson, Kenny Clark, Jaire Alexander, De’Vondre Campbell, Anders Carlson
