Who will borrow Aaron Jones’ roster spot? (Lombardi Ave)

As Aaron Jones is suspended for the first two games of the season, Green Bay will be able to promote another member of the roster into his spot for those two weeks. Lombardi Ave’s Kevin Culligan looks at the candidates to borrow Jones’ spot on the 53-man roster while he’s out.

Prediction: Jimmy Graham will score double-digit touchdowns in 2018 (Lombardi Ave)

Jimmy Graham will score at least 10 touchdowns this season. That’s my prediction. At first it may sound a little optimistic, but he’s hit double-digit TDs four times in eight years, including last season in Seattle. Pair Graham with Aaron Rodgers, and Green Bay could be unstoppable in the red zone.
