Green Bay Packers fourth-round rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught more passes than anyone during portions of offseason practice open to the media. "I felt really comfortable in this system," Doubs said. "I'm just willing to do whatever it takes to get wherever there is I need to be, whether it's the best in the game or intermediate, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to make sure I'm doing my part for everyone in this room and those who I'd love to inspire outside this room." Second-rounder Christian Watson is expected to have the biggest immediate role of the Packers' rookie receivers, but Doubs is one to keep an eye on in 2022 and beyond. The Nevada product had 80 receptions for 1,109 yards and 11 touchdowns in his final collegiate season.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard is a good bet to lead the team in catches in 2022 now that Davante Adams is no longer with the team. Lazard has sturdy hands and has built plenty of trust with quarterback Aaron Rodgers over the last three seasons, leading Rodgers to express confidence this spring in Lazard becoming the Packers No. 1 receiver. The 26-year-old isn't much of a deep threat, but he has proven reliable in the short and intermediate passing game, which will give him plenty of chances on third downs and deep in the red zone. Rodgers has a tendency to make his top receivers much better, and it should be no different with Lazard this year. He probably still won't be flashy, but you could do much worse than him as your WR4 in fantasy.
The Packers waived quarterback Kurt Benkert on Friday. The 26-year-old spent most of last season on the practice squad, appearing in only one game in 2021 as a COVID-19 replacement for Jordan Love. While Benkert wasn't expected to receive interest in any fantasy league, the transaction could mean Green Bay will roll with two active quarterbacks, Love and Aaron Rodgers, during some or all of the season.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard signed his restricted free-agent tender on Monday, according to a source. Lazard will make $3.986 million in 2022. The 26-year-old had a career-high 40 receptions on 60 targets for 513 yards and eight touchdowns for the Packers in 15 games (13 starts), but more will be expected of him this year with Davante Adams now in Las Vegas and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Kansas City. On paper, Lazard looks like quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top target, but veteran Randall Cobb remains on the team and rookie Christian Watson could have a big role at some point. Fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect too much from Lazard, but he should have a solid floor as a WR4.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard didn't attend minicamp. However, he wasn't required to be there, as the veteran hasn't signed his restricted free agent tender. He had his best season in the league in 2021, finishing with 40 catches for 513 yards and eight touchdowns. With Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling no longer on the roster, Lazard could be in store for a more productive year in 2022. Yet, his absence is worth noting, especially if contract talks get in the way of him showing up at training camp.
