5 bold predictions for Packers against Browns
1. Davante Adams will catch at least 12 passes
Adams was efficient last week with six catches on just seven targets, but it was still a pretty quiet day for one of football’s most talented wide receivers. The Browns will challenge him by allowing Denzel Ward to follow him all over the field this week, but look for Adams to get the best of the young corner.
Rodgers will come into the matchup with a clear understanding that he needs to get Adams more involved in the game plan. Look for Green Bay to feed their No. 1 wideout with easy catches in the first quarter to get him in the flow of the game. His route tree will get deeper and more complicated as the game progresses.
The end result will see Adams comfortably surpass 10 catches on the day. His final yardage total will fluctuate greatly depend on the competitiveness of the game. The closer it stays, the more yards he’s going to chalk up against the Cleveland secondary.
The final tally should see the soon-to-be free agent catch 12 balls on 15 or so targets. His battle with Ward should be fun to watch but it will end up decidedly in Green Bay’s favor due to Adams’ chemistry with his quarterback.
