The Facts: Davante Adams' exit from Green Bay has opened the Packers' No. 1 receiver role. Fifth-year wideout Lazard has a chance to step into that spot and see a boatload of targets in 2022. "I think it added maybe a little fuel to that fire, so to speak," Lazard said of Adams' departure, via The Associated Press. "But it wasn't like it ignited the flame."

Diehards Line: Lazard has battled for reps through his first four seasons. He played in just one game as a rookie and spent most of his career as the No. 3 option behind Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who signed in Kansas City this offseason. The Packers revamped their receiver room this offseason, signing Sammy Watkins, drafting Christian Watson in the second round, and Romeo Doubs -- who has shined early in training camp -- in the fourth. Green Bay still has veteran Randall Cobb and 2021 third-rounder Amari Rodgers on the roster. Lazard, who signed his restricted free-agent tender this offseason, has garnered praise from reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers as the potential top target. "I really think Allen is ready to make a jump and be a No. 1 receiver," Rodgers said. "He has a lot to prove, I think, to himself and other people and maybe to the team as well. So I like a hungry Allen Lazard. ..." Lazard is coming off career highs with 40 catches on 60 targets for 513 yards and eight touchdowns. With a host of additional passes potentially coming his way this season, Lazard could blow those numbers out of the water in 2022.
