With Green Bay Packers' Jayden Reed sidelined for the season, Jordan Love needs some new weapons to emerge.
The Green Bay Packers knew they'd be without Jayden Reed last week on Thursday Night Football, but they didn't exactly realize they'd be without him for the remainder of the year.
Reed, 26, has arguably been this team's best receiver when healthy.
Now, his 2026 season comes to an end with just four receptions for 24 yards. Obviously, those are career lows across the board.
This is a guy who had 793 receiving yards as a rookie and then followed it up with an 857-yard season.
Things weren't exactly the same last year, but he still finished with 207 yards and a touchdown in his seven games played.
Reed racked up 100+ rushing yards in both 2023-24, but now that's been removed from this offense's playbook.
Head coach Matt LaFleur is going to need to get even more creative, and that's something he has clearly struggled with these past few weeks.
1. Skyy Moore
There's no question Green Bay brought in Skyy Moore to make a difference on special teams, and he's done exactly that thus far.
That said, the 26-year-old is going to need to step up his game as a receiver. Jordan Love hasn't looked his way a ton, but that will likely change throughout the rest of the year.
No one is asking Moore to be a 1,000-yard receiver, but he's undoubtedly moved up on the depth chart now that Reed is out for the year.
2. Bo Melton
Bo Melton is one of the most intriguing names on this roster as he's often a forgotten part of this team's offense.
That's not to say he's one of the best, or even more underrated, wideouts in the country, far from it, but the 27-year-old was a former seventh-round draft pick for a reason.
He never got his shot in Seattle, but he is 74 yards shy of 500 in his young career, and that's a number he should easily reach this season.
3. Jonnu Smith
It'd be easy to include Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, or Tucker Kraft in this list, but those are Love's top three options, and it's not even close.
This Packers team went out and brought in Jonnu Smith in the offseason, and now it's time for the 31-year-old to do his thing.
Smith is coming off a 222-yard season with Packers legend Aaron Rodgers, and while it's great to see him have 66 yards in his first three games, there's still a ton of room to grow, knowing he had an 884-yard season in '24.
