Around the NFL: Christian Watson

The Packers are going very young at receiver, with probably all first- and second-year guys making up their top three or four wideouts and starter (maybe backup too) at tight end. Many should be undervalued in drafts.   more »

Around the NFL: Romeo Doubs

I like the look of Romeo Doubs. He’s a guy I expect I’ll be selecting in the later rounds of a lot of my drafts as a depth receiver. (I have drafted only one team so far, in fact, and Doubs is on it.)   more »

Packers QB Love short on receiving weapons

With young signal caller JORDAN LOVE set to take over the starting quarterback job in Green Bay this season, head coach Matt Lafleur said last week that the Packers would needMore “to add some bodies” to the wide receiver room for 2023.

While there are still some veteran free agent wideouts available, the Packers have not been active participants in free agency thus far. Less

Factoid: Rookie receivers

I think we should all be drafting rookie receivers a little earlier. There’s risk involved, and I see plenty of slow starters, but I also see a bunch of them outperforming where there were chosen.  more »
