LT David Bakhtiari
Will any player benefit more from the week off than Bakhtiari? He’s been battling nagging injuries all season and hasn’t consistently played at an All-Pro level, although his pass protection has probably been vastly underrated. How good could the Packers offense be if Bakhtiari comes out of the bye week and re-establishes his week-to-week dominance? He’ll have a big test right away on Sunday night. Bakhtiari struggled mightily against Joey Bosa in Los Angeles. Can he redeem himself against younger brother Nick in San Francisco? Other great pass-rushers (Khalil Mack, Ryan Kerrigan, Everson Griffen, Trey Flowers) loom over the final six games.
