Fantasy Impact:
With Devin Funchess opting out and Geronimo Allison exiting in free agency, the Packers will look to Allen Lazard to fill the void. The 24-year-old receiver hauled in 35 passes for 477 yards and three touchdowns across 11 games in 2019 while impressing the coaching staff. Packers coach Matt LaFleur is even on record saying, "his mentality is contagious", and that he often shows the team clips of Lazard on offense and special teams because of his effort level. Davante Adams will undoubtedly remain the top-dog in this offense, but with the Packers vacating 115 targets from a year ago, much of that is likely to go to Lazard. With a current ADP of WR64 in both standard and PPR leagues, Lazard is certainly worth a flier in the later rounds of your draft.
