Wide Receiver might have been the worst positional spot for the 2019 Green Bay Packers. It was ugly this season besides Davante Adams. Green Bay needs to upgrade their wide receiver position. Could you believe that in August we talked about how Green Bay could keep seven wide receivers? Personally where it went wrong was the decision to trade Trevor Davis versus getting rid of Geronimo Allison. Davis isn’t a lifesaver by any means and didn’t have that great of a season. But Allison hurt the team this year.

Davante Adams – GRADE: A
It is crazy to think the year that Davante Adams could have had if he stayed healthy for the entire year. He had a massive year for missing four games of the season. Adams had 83 catches, 997 yards, and five touchdowns. Adams made 54 first downs this season. And I do think the playoff game performance against Seattle helped garner the respect he deserves in the league. He is a top-five wide receiver. Tae doesn’t get that respect for a variety of reasons, but he is worth that distinction.

Allen Lazard – GRADE: B
While Allen Lazard might not be a top-tier receiver, he certainly proved that he belonged in the league. Lazard had 447 yards of receiving with three touchdowns. The former Iowa State product became a key option for the Packers all season. For the first time in a long time, Aaron Rodgers has a 6’5 receiver that can go up and get the football. He might not be a number two receiver just yet, but in a few years, I think that’s a real possibility.

Jake Kumerow – GRADE: C+
I’m giving Touchdown Jesus a bump up due to his blocking as a receiver. There is not a better blocking receiver on the Packers. It is underrated, but Kumerow made so many downfield blocks to extend runs or yards after the catch. As a receiver, he only had 12 catches for 219 yards. Rodgers targeted him only 21 times, so, the sample size is a bit small. I don’t think Kumerow’s spot on the roster is safe next season, although, he might do the most from a special teams perspective which helps his case.

Geronimo Allison – GRADE: D
Here are some damming stats to show how bad of a year it was for Allison. In 2018, he only played five games due to an injury. In those five games, Allison had more receiving yards than he did for a full season with the Packers in 2019. He also had a measly 8.4 yards per reception this season. Drops continue to be an issue for him. He dropped 9.1 percent of his targets last season. I don’t know if there’s space for him next season.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling – GRADE: F
It is wild that Marquez Valdes-Scantling had 447 receiving yards this year. That number seems almost too high. Well look at the game logs, and you’ll see something different. After his 133-yard performance against Oakland, MVS only had 46 total yards for the remainder of the season. That’s pathetic. I’m not sure what Green Bay will do with him next season. Valdes-Scatling will need to prove he is more than just a vertical route runner.
