Matt LaFleur - 'I want to vomit' when asked about Packers WR1 - ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. — If Matt LaFleur gets another question about whether the Green Bay Packers have a true No. 1 receiver, the clean-up crew might have a mess to deal with in the Lambeau Field media auditorium.

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

Green Bay's pecking order at wide receiver has been a question LaFleur has faced often in the aftermath of the March 2022 trade of Davante Adams to the Raiders — and it has, at times, turned into a mildly annoying topic for the sixth-year coach.

The Packers didn't have a single catch last season by a receiver with more than two years of NFL experience, because they didn't have such a receiver on the roster. Green Bay still became the youngest team to win a playoff game since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, according to Elias Sports Bureau, and Jordan Love managed to throw for 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns in his first full season as the starting quarterback.

Then-rookie Jayden Reed led the Packers with 64 catches and 793 yards last season. His eight touchdown catches tied Romeo Doubs for the team lead. Christian Watson had the best yards-per-catch average with 15.1 but was limited to just nine games because of a recurring hamstring injury. Another rookie — Dontayvion Wicks — ranked second to Watson last season with a 14.9-yard average with four touchdowns.

It was Wicks who caught Love's 65-yard touchdown pass to start Saturday's preseason opener at Cleveland.

Yet no one from that group was the first to post a 100-yard receiving game last season. That honor belonged to Bo Melton, who wasn't even on the regular 53-man roster
