6 Things I Learned From Week 4 of the NFL Season
Green Bay's Offense Is Sort of Back
On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Packers offense looked like it should in Chicago this week after starting the year ranked 22nd according to our metrics.
Through three games, Aaron Rodgers had compiled a Passing NEP of 7.17. That was the 22nd-highest total in the league. In Week 4 alone, Rodgers played nearly 25 points above expectation, which should easily catapult him into the top 10 to 15 among signal-callers.
There's reason to be a little concerned about the Packers offense though, not only due to their offensive line woes, but because Eddie Lacy has been straight up bad this year. I gave him a pass through three weeks due to the team's tough opponents, but after a 2.80 yards per carry outing against one of the league's worst rush defenses, fantasy owners and Packers fans alike have to be a little worried. He entered the week with the worst Rushing NEP in the NFL, and he's exiting with an even worse score, despite finding the end zone.
