Packers rookie receivers need more opportunities to open up passing game

The Green Bay Packers passing game can’t keep functioning as it has been – or at least not successfully.

Behind an underperforming offensive line that has also dealt with a lot of movement, we see the Packers relying on the quick passing game, with Aaron Rodgers’ average depth of target this season being just 7.0 yards, which ranks 29th in the NFL prior to Week 8, according to PFF.

While the quick game should be a key component in the offense, it can’t be the Packers’ only way of moving the ball through the air.
