If Aaron Rodgers' 286 yards and 3 touchdowns in Week 1 didn't have you convinced that he'd be able to produce through his knee injury, dropping 281 yards and 1 touchdown against a Minnesota Vikings defense that our metrics had ranked second against the pass in 2017 should give you some confidence, especially as Rodgers' matchups get softer moving forward.

You're not going to be finding any of the Green Bay Packers' top pass-catchers on the waiver wire any time soon, as Randall Cobb and Davante Adams have largely lived up to pre-draft expectations so far.

A surprise in the offense, though, has been the involvement of Geronimo Allison.

After showing flashes with a pair of eight-target games in 2017, Allison has opened the 2018 season notching marks of eight and six targets over his first two games. Playing in the Packers' offense, where efficiency and fantasy points are plentiful, that translated to 17.9 PPR points in Week 1 and 12.4 in Week 2.

He's playing a significant role in the offense, with his 14 targets sitting only 2 behind Cobb and 6 behind Adams, while he has been on the field for slightly more than 75% of the team's offensive snaps.

As the team's third option (or even fourth in games in which Jimmy Graham gets heavily involved), Allison isn't likely to continue producing as consistently as he has so far, but the big volume means that he will offer strong upside on a weekly basis.
