Green Bay Packers offense is a mess that might not get any better

On the other side of the field, the Green Bay Packers offense is a mess right now and unfortunately it may not get any better this season. This is the first year with Jordan Love under center and in the game against the Vikings were only able to muster 10 points.

The challenge with the Packers is they have a bunch of good playmakers but it is almost impossible to figure out which of those players make sense to start. At wide receiver, the hope was that Christian Watson would be the number one wide receiver but against the Vikings had eight, which was second on the team behind Romeo Doubs.

However, with Watson and Doubs combining for 17 targets, they had only seven receptions for 51 yards. Meanwhile, Jayden Reed had six targets and led the Packers with four receptions for 83 yards with AJ Dillon second with five receptions and 41 yards.

The running backs aren't any better as Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon appear to be evenly splitting the work and neither are doing enough to be starters in fantasy football. This is one offense to stay away from for the rest of the season.
