The Facts:
The Packers said goodbye to two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Greg Jennings last month, but Rodgers isn't concerned. The quarterback told WHQG-FM in Milwaukee on Tuesday that the Packers' offense is loaded. "If you watched last year, Jordy [Nelson] again had a great season, was injured for a little bit," Rodgers said Tuesday. "James Jones led the NFL in touchdown receptions and Randall Cobb had 80 catches, so those guys were 1-2-3 options last year because of Greg being injured and Donald [Driver] didn't have the same role he had in the past."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Packers had the NFL's No. 5 scoring offense in 2012 despite Jennings missing eight games. Jennings is one of the NFL's best receivers, but the Packers were prepared with depth at the position. Driver retired, but he wasn't a factor. Cobb starred in his increased, Percy Harvin-like role. And there are other weapons with considerable upside. "Jermichael [Finley] had a big season last year," Rodgers noted. "He really came on at the end of the year. DuJuan Harris showed a lot in the playoff game as a guy who can get some more carries for us in the coming seasons. I like where our offense is. ..." While Rodgers wasn't interested in chiming in on the current status of contract talks (current reporting suggests the two sides remain about $2 million apart with most believing the star QB will wind up hitting the $25 million a year mark), he's clearly looking forward to getting back on the field and making use of the still-impressive array of talent surrounding him.
