2013 green bay packers Fantasy Preview
It was another good year to have a Packer on your fantasy squad. Aaron Rodgers (second - 343.60) finshed behind on Drew Brees among all fantasy scorers. When it comes to fantasy consistency, few can match Rodgers -- he's finished in the top three overall scorers in each of the past four seasons. Surprisingly, he was the only Green Bay player in the top 10 at his position. But owners who grabbed James Jones (16th - 162.40) and Randall Cobb (18th - 154.60) certainly weren't disappointed. While it could be difficult for Jones to repeat his big season, plenty of signs point toward Cobb becoming an even larger part of the Packers attack in 2013. Another thing that didn't change for the Pack? For the third straight year, no Green Bay RB threatened the top 10 in fantasy points. A pair of rookie RBs won't alter that, but could become fantasy factors before the season is out.

Rodgers
QB - Packers
Things stayed mostly status quo in Green Bay, except for three notable moves -- Greg Jennings left for the rival Vikings, Charles Woodson returned to the Raiders and Cedric Benson was left unsigned. But the Packers are hoping that a pair of draft picks -- Alabama's Eddie Lacy and UCLA's Johnathan Franklin -- can revitalize their running game.
The name on every fantasy owners lips this season is Randall Cobb. With Greg Jennings gone, the No. 1 WR job is up for grabs and Cobb seems the most likely to snag it. Similarly, Lacy and Franklin have a chance to make an impact running the football, although in a pass-heavy offense, no one will mistake them for Trent Richardson. Anyone expecting an encore from James Jones in 2013 could be sorely disappointed. His 14 TD catches last season doubled his previous career-high. It's not likely to happen again.
