Looks like the Packers are playing the salary cap game like pros! While Jordan Love is set to cash in a monster $79 million payday in 2024, the Packers’ pass-catching squad is a steal, costing less than a premium wide receiver. Yes! Green Bay has packed a super six receiving corps for Love, costing them only 12% of what the QB1 would be getting. And let’s just say, it’s a steal.

On August 30, Spotrac’s X handle revealed the numbers reading: “They’ll offset that [Jordan Love’s huge salary] with one of the (projected) best value passing weapon rooms in football.” At just $9.4 million this season, Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Luke Musgrave, and Tucker Kraft are more than just players; they’re Green Bay’s secret weapons. Why? Because they’re ready to unleash a stealth offensive blitz. Go Pack Go’s stealth mode: ON.

Let’s break it down, play-by-play. Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs are the first names that come to mind when you think of Packers’ receivers. Watson often grabs the spotlight as WR1, but Doubs isn’t far behind. Don’t be fooled by his quieter profile; Doubs can give defenses a real headache. After trading future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, the Packers fielded the NFL’s youngest roster last year. Everyone expected a rebuilding year, but Green Bay pulled a surprise move by making the playoffs and nearly toppling NFC champion San Francisco. The key to success? Emerging talent and resilience of this roster.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Doubs’ stats from 2023—59 receptions, 674 yards, and eight touchdowns—don’t scream breakout, but they show growth. Not only that! He led the Packers in targets, proving his value even if the numbers don’t always pop. Yet, Doubs’ lack of 100-yard games and modest yards per route run might leave some doubting his ceiling. Can he rise to the occasion and become a game-changer for Jordan Love? The potential is there, but it’s still up for debate.

Jayden Reed is another name buzzing with excitement. Last season, he led the team with 912 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns. It’s no surprise that many see him as a top candidate to be the Packers’ leading receiver this year. Even Fantasy football fans are already placing their bets on Reed, given his high Average Draft Position (ADP) compared to others. Reed’s skill set and impressive production make him a top contender, but his role limitations and slot usage might pose some hurdles. Will his versatility be enough to make him the standout receiver?

Meanwhile, don’t overlook Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft in the TE room. Kraft, despite an injury setback, showed promise last season and is expected to play a significant role this year. Why? Because he performed well in Musgrave’s absence, and his presence adds depth to the Packers’ tight end room. Kraft’s ability to produce in limited snaps and his potential for growth make him a valuable asset. And his bulldozing skills would be key in trucking opposition huddles around Love.

But there’s one remaining, from this list of Super Six. And that one receiver is also Jordan Love’s favorite.

Jordan Love believes Dontayvion Wicks could steal the show as an underdog

Dontayvion Wicks is the Round 5 pick from UVA and he might just be the wild card of the Packers’ receiving corps. Are we stretching it? You can make that opinion for yourself, but first read along. He’s got the skills to make the headlines and the hunger to match. Jordan Love himself is high on Wicks, saying, “I think Dontayvion Wicks is going to have a monster year this year. He was able to do a lot of phenomenal things last year.” And it was more than phenomenal as Wicks burst onto the NFL scene with the impact of a game-winning touchdown in overtime.

In his rookie campaign, he hauled in 39 passes for 581 yards and four touchdowns and tacked on a couple more catches and a postseason touchdown. His debut wasn’t just solid—it was a fireworks show. Wicks boasted a dazzling 67.2 percent catch rate, averaged 14.9 yards per reception, and over 2.0 yards per route run. That’s not just impressive; that’s Pro Bowl potential in the making. With his sharp route-running, explosive speed, and knack for turning short throws into big gains, he was a reliable target for Love in LaFleur’s offense.

The real question isn’t whether Wicks will shine—it’s how bright his star will burn in his second year. Let’s hope what Love says about Wicks that the “sky is the limit for him” comes true. And it’s not just about him, but all the pass-catching squad. Long story short, the Packers’ offensive arsenal is set to deliver some unforgettable moments. And at that price pool, let’s just say they assembling underdogs left, right, and center that might play Marvels in Green Bay.
