3 WRs the Packers need to trade for before the deadline

The Green Bay Packers passing attack is being carried by Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams yet again. It’s time for a blockbuster trade.

Aside from one disastrous outing against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Aaron Rodgers has been at his best behind center for the Green Bay Packers this season. A year after some fans were worried we had seen the last of Rodgers as a top-three quarterback in the NFL, the game’s most cautious gunslinger is leading the Packers to glory again.

Green Bay are 5-1, first in the NFC North. Rodgers? He has a 113.4 QB Rating with an average of nearly three touchdowns per game.

Most impressively, Rodgers is leading the way without a full corps of wide receivers. Davante Adams remains one of the NFL’s elite, averaging 112 receiving yards per game with a catch rate near 80 percent. But no other player on the Packers has more than half of Adams’ 36 receptions – running back Aaron Jones and tight end Robert Tonyan have 18 receptions each. The next best receiver in receptions, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, has 15 catches with an average of just 7.1 yards per target.

Rodgers needs some more help if he’s to lead the Packers to his second career Super Bowl ring. And that help needs to come at the trade deadline.

Here are three wide receivers the Packers can acquire before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 3 when the trade deadline hits.
