Greg Jennings

                           RUSHING                            RECEIVING                            FANTASY

(+) Has the best QB in the business throwing him perfect passes every game

(+) With Jordy Nelson’s emergence, Jennings should have a better season this year than last year due to the attention Nelson will receive

(+) Despite Nelson’s emergence, Jennings is still the most talented receiver on a team with a pass-happy QB

(+) Nine TDs last year shows that Rodgers continues to trust him in the Red-Zone

(+) He’s still only 28-years old (29 on September 21st), so he’s in the prime of his career

(–) With so many weapons on the team and Rodgers loving to spread the love around, some weeks Jennings ends up a bit of the odd man out

(–) Jennings is no longer the deep threat now that Nelson is a starter

(–) Not really a PPR guy. It may be hard to believe, but 80 receptions is the most he's ever had in a season

All in all, you’d have to consider 2009 somewhat of a down-year for Greg Jennings, though most of that assessment is due to the expectations on him being so high (not Ricky Williams high).  Most would say that Vincent Jackson had a great year, and rightfully so, yet Jennings had the same amount of receptions as he did and only 50 less yards.  The biggest differential between the two came in Greg’s TD total, which was a huge disappointment to say the least.  4 TDs is completely unacceptable from a player of his caliber, especially when you consider the numbers Aaron Rodgers put up.  Granted, the ageless Donald Driver played like a man possessed, and Jermichael Finley and James Jones both stepped their games up considerably, but that’s no excuse for Jennings putting up less TDs on the year than all three of them.  His six 100-yard games, however, were the most in his career, and helped to ease the pain for fantasy owners who were anticipating close to WR1 numbers.

Forget about 2009.  It’s over, it’s gone, see ya.  2010 will turn out to be Jennings’ best season to date, and you can take that one to the bank.  His skill-level sits right up there with the best in the league, and talent like that almost always wins out in the end.  As soon as the Pack realized how bad of an offensive line they had last year, they changed their game-plan to get the receivers running shorter, quicker routes, which benefitted Jennings greatly.  His second half of the season in 2009 was a lot closer to what we’re likely to see this year, and even then, there’s still room for improvement.  Aaron Rodgers is one of the best QBs in the game, and the Packers just love to pass the ball, so really, what’s not to like about Jennings’ potential?  Nothing.  #85 should crack the top-10 fantasy WRs this year and get up into double-digit TDs once again.

~ He’s the #1 guy on a pass-heavy team.  You do the math

~ Rodgers is one of the best QBs in the game.  Again, you do the math

~ The talent surrounding him will leave him in single-coverage at all times, but could also take a few targets away as well

Greg Jennings Commercial

In June of ’09, Jennings signed a four-year, $26.885 million contract.  The cap-friendly deal contained $16.25 million guaranteed, including an $11.25 million signing bonus and Jennings' first-year base salary.  Another $3 million is available through incentives, including $25,000 per game played, $25,000 each season if he plays in 12 games and the Packers make the playoffs, and escalators maxing out at $700,000 in 2010, $1 million in 2011, and $1.25 million in 2012 based on playing time and team performance.  Someone certainly did their homework for this one… Here’s how this bad boy shakes out:

2010 - $1.85 million (+ $300,000 workout bonus)

2011 - $2.7 million (+ $300,000 workout bonus)

2012 - $3.885 million (+ $300,000 workout bonus)

2013 - Free Agent

Such a humble character, not about the money at all...

James Jones is an excellent handcuff for Jennings and should be grabbed in the mid-rounds of your draft
