When we asked the fans a little over a week ago what the biggest need was for the Green Bay Packers this offseason, the results were as follows, in order: cornerback, defensive end, receiver and defensive tackle. Now that we’ve already previewed the cornerback, defensive end and defensive tackle class, it’s time to turn our attention to the final position in our preview series: receiver.
The Packers have a strong core of receivers in their room, but the loss of Christian Watson for at least three-quarters of the 2025 regular season puts them in a bad spot. Based on how their receivers were used in 2023 and 2024, it’s doubtful that any combination of Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks or Romeo Doubs will threaten opposing defenses in the deeper portion of the field in the same way that Watson did before his injury. On top of that, Doubs and Watson are going into contract seasons, meaning the team will need to decide soon whether to double down on their investments or elect to let them play out their rookie deals before hitting free agency themselves.
As we did with the other positions we’ve previewed, we’re going to take a look at the Packers’ receivers and the receivers who could be available this offseason. We’ll take a two-year snapshot of how these receivers have performed in a key metric. For this exercise, we’re going to use adjusted yards per route run and compare them to the league average.
