Packers WR Randall Cobb is hoping to develop into an all-around receiver.

“I don’t want to work on just being a slot receiver,” Cobb said. “I want to be a receiver, period. I want to be able to go outside, too. So one thing I’ve worked on this off-season, too, is my outside routes and trying to put that into my game so I’m not just labeled a ‘slot guy.’”

Not too long ago, Greg Jennings grew into such a a do-it-all receiver. In time, maybe Cobb follows a similar trajectory.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story is mainly about the potential of taking Cobb off special team duties to save him, but it's worth noting he is striving to be a do-it-all receiver. Either way, Cobb is ranked 13th, right behind 12th-ranked teammate Jordy Nelson. In fact, James Jones also cracks our top-25 WRs, coming in at 24th. There are a lot of targets for QB Aaron Rodgers but we predict 83 catches and over 1,000 yards with 9 TDs for Cobb. Cobb's ADP is late-third round while Jordy's is early fifth. Since we predict very similar numbers for the two, it's something to keep in mind on draft day...

“I thought [WR James Jones] had a phenomenal year last year, and this year he’s going to be even better than what he was last year,” Packers wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett said. “I think he understands that and I think knows what he’s capable of doing. I thought last year was just a starting point for James.”

Fantasy Impact: 

He's being drafted behind both Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson, but provided his TDs don't regress too much, Jones will have a chance to be the top fantasy receiver in Green Bay. He looks to be a nice value in the middle rounds.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers on the team's receiving corps:

“I still like the guys we've got,” Rodgers said after practice. “We have a lot of talent at that position. I think Randall Cobb is a guy who could be a 100-plus catch guy every year. James Jones led the league in touchdown receptions last year. [Jordy Nelson] has had some real big years for us.”

After the big three, the Packers have Jarrett Boykin, who came to the rookie orientation camp a year ago as a tryout player after being cut by Jacksonville and earned a spot on the 53-man roster coming out of training camp as the sixth receiver. The rookie caught only five passes for 27 yards in regular-season play, but his final catch was a big one: A critical 7-yard grab on fourth down against Minnesota in the regular-season finale that kept a late scoring drive alive. The coaches like his size (6-foot-2, 218 pounds) and detailed approach to the game.

“I like what Jarrett Boykin brings. He's a big, physical receiver who's going to get some opportunities this year,” Rodgers said. “And I think he really has a great approach to the game, as does Jeremy Ross. Both those guys last year really stepped up and cared about it enough to put in a lot of extra time.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Owners shouldn't sleep on Boykin who is an injury away from being fantasy relevant in 2013.

Aaron Rodgers

Vikings steal Greg Jennings away from Green Bay

WR Greg Jennings reached agreement with...the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact: 

If Jennings can stay healthy, he should be able to post nice numbers as the Vikings' main weapon (along with Kyle Rudolph) in the passing game. He'll benefit from playing against defenses that will be focused on stopping Adrian Peterson, but he won't enjoy the benefit of playing in the Packers' potent passing attack (with QB Aaron Rodgers). So expect more targets and lower efficiency. He looks like a low-end WR2 at this point. This is an upgrade for Christian Ponder, who could certainly use the help. (It's also an upgrade for Peterson.) In Green Bay, Jennings' departure means that Jermichael Finley will likely be around another season. Expect good numbers from Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and James Jones. All four players should be startable in most formats.
