Moore. Doubs\u2019 \u201cOpen\u201d score of 78 is ranked fourth in the league, only behind Moore, Nacua and the Miami Dolphins\u2019 Tyreek Hill, though Doubs\u2019 \u201cYAC\u201d score gives him the edge over Hill as an overall receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">At tight end, Green Bay\u2019s Tucker Kraft ranks as the fourth overall player at the position, only behind Buffalo\u2019s Dalton Kincaid, Las Vegas\u2019 Brock Bowers and Dallas\u2019 Jake Ferguson. Kraft\u2019s \u201cYAC\u201d grade is only behind Kincaid and Bowers this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Josh Jacobs, a running back, ranks seventh in the league at his position, behind Tampa Bay\u2019s Bucky Irving, Atlanta\u2019s Bijan Robinson, Carolina\u2019s Chuba Hubbard, Pittsburgh\u2019s Jaylen Warren, Indianapolis\u2019 Jonathan Taylor and San Francisco\u2019s Christian McCaffrey. Jacobs\u2019 \u201cYAC\u201d grade of 67 only falls short to Irving, Robinson and Warren in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">So all and all, the Packers have top-10 to top-5 players across the board in the pass-catching game, per this metric. For what it\u2019s worth, Dontayvion Wicks ranks 30th among receivers, a higher mark than nine NFL teams\u2019 number one wide receiver.
