If we assume that Aaron Rodgers plays for Green Bay this year -- not certain, but there seems to be no interest on the part of the team in trading him, and Rodgers doesn't seem likely to actually sit out when push comes to shove -- the secondary receivers need to be considered. Davante Adams, Robert Tonyan, and?

Green Bay drafted another A Rodgers, Amari, in the 3rd round. They also have Allen Lazard, who went for 451 yards a year ago (and was a big part of the offense the first month of the season, prior to missing six games with an abdomen injury). And then there's Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

MVS is a frustrating case. Rodgers has talked him up plenty in his career, while also giving him death stares during games after he drops a pass or perhaps screws up a route. Last year he caught 4 touchdowns of at least 45 yards, but caught only 1 or 0 passes in nearly half (seven) of his games. Really tough to put a guy into the lineup with a floor that low, even though he has a high ceiling. (What struck me from the picture accompanying this article is how thinly built he is, listed at 6-foot-4 and 206 pounds.)

But somebody has to be the No. 2 wideout in this offense, and maybe the 26-year-old Valdes-Scantling can finally take hold of the job in his fourth season. That upside is pretty impressive.

In each of his first three seasons, Valdes-Scantling has averaged over 15 yards per catch. That includes finishing over 20 yards per reception in 2020 -- best in the league over that timeframe (45-plus targets).

I've been in a couple of best-ball drafts, and there's not a lot of interest in Green Bay wideouts (after Davante Adams). Neither Valdes-Scantling, Lazard nor Rodgers are being selected until very late. Some of that is definitely concern over Aaron Rodgers' future (nobody wants to see Jordan Love trying to connect with MVS), and some is the lack of clarity on the No. 2.

But there's some upside in MVS, if the price is right, and it seems to be right now. In the later rounds of drafts, he's a guy to consider.
