I must start this article by addressing Davante Adams:Through 16 weeks in ESPN PPR leagues,

First https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Marcedes-Lewis-Jersey , Adams finished number one in points with 305 — out-pacing Tyreek Hill, DeAndre Hopkins, Adam Thielen, and Julio Jones who finished second through fifth, respectively. In Yahoo leagues, Adams edged out Antonio Brown by three fantasy points, and in NFL.com leagues, he finished second to Brown by one point. Technically, there’s still another week in the NFL season, but if you’re playing into Week 17, you have legitimate qualms with your fantasy commissioner. Adams was a force all season long, and showed up when it truly counted for fantasy players. During the heavy bye weeks (weeks 9-11), Adams had 16, 21 https://www.thepackersfanshop.com , and 26 PPR points. It’s almost like Adams had himself on several big-money fantasy teams. There was also not a single week in which Adams had single-digit fantasy points. If there was any one player that you could always count on to get his, it was Adams. Adams is enjoying his best season as a pro, even as the Packers miss the playoffs. In 15 games, he has set career highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns and first downs. There was plenty of reason to double team Adams all season long, with Randall Cobb injured and the other rookie wide receivers finding their footing, but Adams was still reliable. In a lost season that saw Mike McCarthy fired, Aaron Rodgers struggling, and the defense suffer injury after injury, it was Adams who was the brightest light in the darkness. As we look towards the 2019 season, we can look forward to even bigger things from the Fresno State product. He has just turned 26 years old (Happy Birthday!) and will still remain Rodgers’ favorite target. He’s an excellent route runner, caught 65.7 percent of passes this season, and knows exactly how to get open on extended plays. So here’s to Davante Adams Green Bay Packers Customized Jerseys , the 2018 WR1! “If you can’t beat them, join them.”That seems to be the approach the Green Bay Packers took when selecting Matt LaFleur to be the team’s next head coach.A year ago Green Bay’s arch rival Chicago Bears hired Matt Nagy off of Andy Reid’s staff in Kansas City despite limited experience in calling plays and paired him with respected defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.The results? A 12-4 record and a curb stomping of the NFC North. The Packers are obviously hoping for similar success with LaFleur in 2019. He’ll have more talent on offense than Nagy did and by retaining defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, whose defense did show promise this season before a tsunami of injuries finally took its toll, LaFleur can focus on fixing the offense and getting quarterback Aaron Rodgers back to elite level.Pettine clearly has the respect of his players and can command the defensive meeting room. If there were any doubt about that, team president Mark Murphy and general manager Brian Gutekunst would not have been as keen on keeping him around.There is of course risk with this. Mimicking the path of a first year head coach whose team flamed out in the wild card round isn’t idea, but given the worst-to-first turnaround the Bears experienced clearly the Packers felt good about their chances. The difference of course being they picked a candidate from the Shanahan tree versus the Reid tree when Chicago picked Nagy.Nobody knows for certain how well this will work out for Green Bay, but we’ll get our first look at LaFleur in green and gold today at 3 p.m. central time at his introductory press conference.Kept it here at APC for love coverage of LaFleur’s debut as Packers head coach.There’s plenty more on LaFleur and what challenges he faces in today’s cheese curds.Packers following Bears’ formula pairing rookie coach with respected defensive coordinator—PackersNews.comThere will be plenty of fan angst about following the road the Bears took, but you can’t argue with the results.
