Cheese Curds, 10/2: Packers need to find 3rd down production without Lazard

A key component of the Green Bay Packers' hot start on offense in 2020 has been the play of Allen Lazard. The NFL leader in receiving DYAR and DVOA has made plenty of big plays to go with a pair of touchdowns.

But perhaps most critical has been his ability to move the chains on third downs. As one of Aaron Rodgers' most trusted targets, he has been tremendous in converting to move the chains and keep drives alive.

With Lazard now out for an unknown amount of time, it will be critical for someone else to step up into that role of trusted chain-mover.
