The Green Bay Packers have receivers 1A and 1B in Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams. The two players have alternated big games, with Adams breaking out for a big touchdown against Seattle two games ago and Nelson hauling in the 60-yard bomb at the end of the Bears game.
Adams had his opportunities against Chicago, however, dropping a pair of sure touchdowns. Still, he has confidence in himself and his quarterback is still confident in him as well.
That last big game against Seattle, when Adams caught four balls for 104 yards and a score? It came after one of Adams' poorest performances of the year, a seven-target, one-catch, 17-yard contest against the Texans. Still, Rodgers threw the deep ball to Adams on the first third down of the game two weeks ago, showing plenty of confidence in the third-year wideout. Look for him to get plenty of chances this week against Minnesota.
We've got pieces on Adams and much more in today's Curds.

Randall has been wildly inconsistent this season, and his benching late on Sunday is a sign of that inconsistency. The Packers will need him to bounce back if they are to make a playoff run.
