15. Samori Toure (25)

Toure has gotten buried on the depth chart thanks to outstanding performances from some of his peers. However, he still flashes his playmaking ability, including a 35-yard reception against the Detroit Lions. He has four catches for 59 yards on the season.

14. Carrington Valentine (22)

Valentine continues to battle at his outside cornerback position and received ample playing time in Weeks 3 and 4 when Jaire Alexander was out with a back injury. He’s a better coverage corner than run supporter at this point, a concern considering how often running backs can get to the edge against the Packers’ defense.

13. Karl Brooks (23)

Brooks has surpassed Wooden on the depth chart and is outplaying the fourth-round pick at this point. He’s been terrific getting after the quarterback, notching seven pressures and two sacks already. He’s gotten better each game.

12. Daniel Whelan (24)

The Packers made a surprising decision to keep Whelan after the preseason, but he’s been very good to begin the season. He consistently kicks the ball high and deep, allowing his coverage units to get under them.

11. Lukas Van Ness (22)

Van Ness has gotten off to a slow start to his career, as Green Bay has plenty of depth on the edge. He played the most snaps in Week 4 and had his worst game of the season. Still, he’s shown some elite flashes, like chasing down Justin Fields for his one and only sack of the season.
