The Green Bay Packers overhauled their wide receiver approach this offseason, and the result is a training camp competition that should produce the most compelling positional battle on the roster.

Green Bay let Romeo Doubs leave in free agency (he signed with the New England Patriots), traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles, and now enters camp with a fundamentally different outlook to distributing targets and snaps at wide receiver.

This is the third installment of our positional breakdown series heading into Packers training camp.

The top 3 are locked in

The focus is obvious, and the Packers are building around Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden at the top of the depth chart. Those three will receive significantly more volume and targets than they did in previous seasons, when five or six playable receivers made it impossible to establish rhythm for any single player.

If Watson, Reed, and Golden can play to their highest ceilings, the offense will take a massive step forward. Doubs was probably the most utilized receiver for the Packers in 2025, so his departure frees up a substantial number of targets. The top three will absorb most of those, but the remaining snaps create a genuine competition behind them.

Savion Williams needs to evolve

The fourth wide receiver on the roster is probably Savion Williams, last year’s third-round pick. Williams spent most of his rookie season as a gadget piece, running end-arounds, returning kickoffs on special teams, and even taking a snap at quarterback out of the wildcat package. That was a fine starting point, but if the Packers want him to function as a legitimate fourth receiver, he has to develop as a traditional route runner and become a consistent presence in the passing game.

The fifth receiver spot belongs to Skyy Moore, the former second-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs who played for the San Francisco 49ers last season before signing a one-year, $2.5 million deal with Green Bay. Moore can contribute on offense with some of the same gadget-style plays Williams handled as a rookie, but his primary value is as a dual-threat returner on kickoffs and punts. That ability is significant because the Packers have struggled to replace Keisean Nixon since he transitioned to a full-time cornerback role.

The sixth spot is wide open

If the Packers keep six wide receivers on the 53-man roster, that final spot is an intense competition. Bo Melton is the favorite because of his special teams value, his familiarity with coach Matt LaFleur’s system, and his track record of production. That versatility matters at the bottom of a roster, even though he’s not listed as a cornerback anymore.

Behind Melton, several younger players will push for the spot. Undrafted rookie J. Michael Sturdivant has a high ceiling despite underwhelming college production. Isaiah Neyor, who went undrafted last year and spent time with both the 49ers and the Packers, is a big-bodied receiver who fits LaFleur’s offensive scheme.

The longer shots include Will Sheppard, who spent time with Green Bay last year as an undrafted rookie, and Brenden Rice, the son of Jerry Rice. Rice was a seventh-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers two years ago and has bounced between the Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, and Las Vegas Raiders. The Packers claimed the 6-foot-2, 208-pound receiver off waivers from Las Vegas back in May and will evaluate what they have during camp.

The Packers made a deliberate choice to consolidate targets at the top of the depth chart rather than spread them across a crowded room. That decision creates clarity for Watson, Reed, and Golden, but it also raises the stakes for everyone behind them.
