Outside of Davante Adams, the Green Bay Packers had a pretty weak receiving corps this past season. Heading into 2020, not much has changed. At least not on paper.
Yes, the Packers signed Devin Funchess in free agency, but for the most part, Green Bay has done little to address its hole at wide receiver this offseason, even going as far to select Utah State quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of the NFL Draft.
But Aaron Rodgers isn't sweating his lack of elite depth at wideout:

You know, the additions that we brought in and then having a first-year head coach with a new system, I liked our progression throughout the season. Obviously we had a lot of success, won a lot of close games. I like where we’re at, and you know, as always, we’re going to be expecting those young players whether they’re rookies or second- or third-year guys to make that jump, and we’re going to be calling on them to play an even bigger role for us.”
Of course, this could just be Rodgers being diplomatic so he doesn't cause any ripples, but perhaps he is comfortable with the sense of familiarity that Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and Co. bring.
The Packers won 13 games and captured the NFC North division title under first-year head coach Matt LaFleur this past year, making it all the way to the NFC Championship Game before falling to the San Francisco 49ers.
We'll see if Rodgers and Co. can go further with a questionable group of receivers in 2020.
