The Facts: With Darrell Jackson no longer in the mix, Deion Branch will move into the flanker spot that Jackson filled, with Hackett the likely starter at the split end position Branch played last season.

Diehards Line:Jackson's departure means each of the other receivers will need to step up to help generate the productivity that leaves with him -- an average of 63 receptions and seven touchdown catches in seven seasons since he was selected in the third round in 2000. "D.J. took great strides last year as a role player, and did some fine things," Mike Holmgren said of Hackett, who had 45 receptions last season.
