Green Bay Packers

The Packers have been decimated by injuries, but sit just a half game behind the Chicago Bears in the NFC North standings, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the midst of an MVP caliber season.

Green Bay has already lost receivers Allen Lazard, Devin Funchess, and Tyler Ervin for multiple weeks, so general manager Brian Gutekunst will likely be shopping for receivers over the next eight days.

Tate’s versatility to line up outside or in the slot with the abiity to stretch the field vertically could make him an ideal fit in head coach Matt LeFleur’s aerial scheme.

Green Bay has a full complement of picks in next April’s draft, so could flip a mid-round selection for Tate.
