4. Adams, Valdes-Scantling both have 100-yard days

In terms of the hierarchy at wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers, things have shaken out as expected over the initial three games of the 2019 NFL season. It’s Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling leading the way for the pass-catching group on the year to this point. However, it’s completely worth noting that the passing game as a whole has not been that productive.

Adams leads the way with 15 catches for 198 yards on the season but has not yet caught a touchdown on the 2019 season. Meanwhile, Valdes-Scantling has 13 catches for 170 yards and found the end zone last week. Either way, it’s clear that this wide receiver duo is fearsome but still has upside to be better once the aerial attack starts kicking into high gear.

In terms of what they’ll see against good teams, the Packers duo of Adams and MVS isn’t going to find too many more favorable matchups than what they’ll see against the Eagles. Ronald Darby is out of action, the pass-rush is banged up and the secondary as a whole has not performed well to this point in the year.

As such, I expect the Packers to really air it out on Thursday Night Football, especially playing at home. And considering how well Adams and Valdes-Scantling match up with the defense in this game, they are going to tear them apart. After 60 minutes of action, each member of the wide receiver corps will have a 100-yard day to their credit.
