The Packers need a legitimate No. 2 receiver to emerge over the final six games. Allen Lazard has earned his shot at more playing time, but the Packers would probably benefit most from an impressive finish to 2019 from Valdes-Scantling. He all but disappeared after suffering ankle and knee injuries in October, but the bye week provided an opportunity for the young receiver to get closer to 100 percent health-wise. It also provided an opportunity for coach Matt LaFleur and the coaching staff to take a long look at how he was being used. If he’s healthy, and the Packers discover more efficient ways to get him involved, Valdes-Scantling could be the key to unlocking another level for the Packers offense.
