LaFleur: Packers WR1 debates make me 'want to vomit'

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is tired of being asked about who will be his team's top wide receiver this season.

"I want to vomit every time I hear 'No. 1 receiver,' to be honest with you," LaFleur said, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. "It drives me crazy. That's something that you guys talk about. I feel like we've got a bunch of 'em."

Since trading All-Pro wideout Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022, the Packers haven't had a true No. 1 wideout. Instead, Green Bay had one of the NFL's youngest group of receivers last year, which flashed a lot of potential.

Jayden Reed - a second-round rookie in 2023 - led the Packers with 64 catches for 793 yards and eight touchdowns. Romeo Doubs, who also recorded eight TDs, finished the season with 674 yards on 59 receptions. Dontayvion Wicks topped 500 yards last year as well, and Christian Watson - the Packers' TD leader in 2022 - found the end zone five times in 2023 but was limited to only nine games due to injury.

"They're all capable of being a 'No. 1' in some capacity, and it's just how do we want to attack somebody and where do we want to put those guys," LaFleur added.

"It allows us, I mean, who's going to get the ball? I don't know. It could change on a week-to-week basis. We saw it last year, and then we have Bo Melton come in and be our first 100-yard receiver versus Minnesota. So, I think it just - again, it frees us up in terms of just, from an offensive standpoint and how we attack people."

With quarterback Jordan Love surrounded by promising wide receivers, the Packers enter the 2024 season with one of the league's most dangerous offenses. They proved it early in Green Bay's preseason opener last week when Love found Wicks for a 65-yard touchdown.
