Exactly. Aaron Jones led the team with 7 receptions. After that was Jimmy Graham with 3.

But the Packers really have been failing to do this... as they have attempted to be a hybrid with what Rodgers likes (which is not throwing shorter passes)... but without Adams there... they might of had to do less of what Rodgers likes and more of the actual traditional system.
In this traditional system, the RB one of the most important players as they're trying to get the ball in their hands either through running or getting one on ones in the passing games. And without Adams, of course they go to Jones next... as none of the other WRs have yet been able to step it up enough (yet) and this gets the team more in sync with the normal system.
Though I'm a bit surprise we haven't tried (or if we have tried, it hasn't been successful), to set up MVS more for some deep bombs... but that could be partly due to talented defenses not giving enough time for deep shots or being able to cover better.
But coming into this game (first 4 games), the RB/FBs had 23 catches for 172 yards,
The Cowboys game they had 12 catches for 102 yards. (and got Jones 4 touchdowns though via running)
But seems like they went back to more of the traditional scheme this week... or got it working this week.
