Its a tough question. Where will our WR/TE/RB for receiving yardage.

I have seen some thinking that Rodgers will be about 4000-4500 yards passing. Who is going to be on the receiving end of those yards.

History - 07 - 08
Jennings 920 - 1292
Driver - 1048 - 1012
Jones - 676 - 274
Nelson - n/a - 366
Martin - 242 - 149
Lee - 575 - 300
Finley - n/a - 74

My problem with figuring this out, is that I don't expect Jennings to drop in production. Driver may drop a tad but no much. I expect Jones to at least get back to his rookie form, Nelson to improve. Martin, Lee and the RB will get their share and Finley looks to break out.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I'm having the same problem. These guys are good, and there's only one ball. I think Jennings and Driver could both drop off a bit, with Jones and Finley putting up much bigger numbers than last year. Nelson will be up a little, and Lee and Martin will stay about the same. That's my best guess. I don't expect big receiving numbers from any of the RB's, as I think a lot of those short throws will go to the TE's.

I don't want to get into actually guessing the numbers. Speculating is fun, but I have my limits.

Pretty close to what I have been thinking, only I think Jennings numbers will be a little lower with the others up to compensate. I think Rodgers is going to throw the ball all over and to anyone this year, more than before, so I am expecting a even spread.

Jennings 1100, Driver 900, Jones 700, Nelson 600, Finley 600, Lee 200, Martin 200, RB 200

That was one thing Rodgers did last season. Spread the ball around.

cheeseheads123's numbers look pretty good. It's really hard to assess. One thing I know for sure though, trying to estimate what it would be like, is that a lot of very talented receivers are going to have single coverage this year.

I'd expect Jennings and Woodson to have 1,000 yard seasons again. James Jones and Jordy Nelson will probably have over 500 yards each. If Finley really procuces he could also have in excess of 500 yards, which would probably leave Lee with blocking duties and around 200 yards. Martin will get the odd catch here and there, but perhaps with Finley's progression, the Big Five will be a thing of the past.

Actually, I thought he didn't spread it around enough last year. Jennings and Driver had well over 50% of the passing yardage. That may have been due to a shortage of weapons, though. If everyone stays healthy, there will be more weapons this year, with Jones and Finley, in particular, contributing way more than they did last year. Nelson should also be better with a year of experience under his belt.
