Rodgers: WR Romeo Doubs raised expectations

Zach Kruse on Twitter

Aaron Rodgers has said many times that expectations need to be “reasonable” for the rookie WRs.

Romeo Doubs, based on how well he’s played during camp, raised those expectations.

“The standard for him is not going to be the standard for a normal rookie we’ve had here in the past.”

Related players: Christian Watson

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs continues to earn high praise from Rodgers, something that's been going on for a while. While Doubs has had a bad drop or two, Rodgers seems willing to live with it based on the rest of his performance in camp, as well as his skillset. Now that Watson is back from injury, he should continue to climb our rankings as well. But for now, Doubs looks like the Packers rookie WR to own heading into the season.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has high praise for WR Allen Lazard

In all seriousness, Aaron Rodgers is very high on Allen Lazard as he ascends into a new role in Packers offense: “Who I don’t think we need any patience with is Allen. I really think Allen is ready to make a jump and be a No. 1 receiver.”

Fantasy Impact:

Someone will end up as the team's WR1 and Lazard at least has a decent chance to earn the role. But we only rank Lazard 50th among our WRs. The 26-year-old Lazard had a career-high 513 yards last season, but managed 45.1 yards per game in 2020, which is a 767-yard pace over a 17-game season. He’s unlikely to turn into a 1,200+ yard receiver, but 1,000 yards is a possibility this season as the Packers’ receiving room tries to absorb the loss of Davante Adams. In 2020, his yards per route run (1.84) ranked 32nd out of 101 eligible receivers at PFF, so there are indicators that he’s capable of more than we’ve seen from him thus far.

Sell your Jordan Love dynasty stocks, folks. Rodgers is now signed to play into his 40s with the same franchise that drafted him.

Packers HC Matt LeFleur told reporters Friday that QB Aaron Rodgers will start Week 18 and will see how the game plays out. “I don’t think he needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going.”

Fantasy Impact:

Rodgers starting takes he and Love out of consideration for season-long and DFS lineups.
