3. Davante Adams, Aaron Jones both put up over 1,000 yards

Two players the Packers will be able to count on? Davante Adams and Aaron Jones. Despite all of the offense’s struggles last year, Adams had his first 1,000-yard season. He finished second in the NFL for receiving touchdowns, seventh for receiving yards, and sixth in receptions.

Adams should have no trouble putting up 1,000 yards again, especially with Aaron Rodgers planning to get him the ball more in 2019, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Jones tied for 11th in rushing touchdowns in 2018, despite only starting eight games. He also led the NFL in yards per attempt.

Even when given a limited role by Mike McCarthy last season, Jones averaged 60.7 rushing yards per game. Over 16 games, that works out at 971 rushing yards. In 12 games and only eight starts, Jones finished with 728 yards with eight touchdowns. With more carries in 2019, Jones should easily make it past 1,000 yards on the ground.

Offensively, Adams and Jones are key to the Packers’ success. If they can both stay healthy, defenses will find it difficult to stop them, especially as the offense gets more adjusted to LaFleur’s scheme as the season goes on.
