Driver ready for Rodgers: Packers WR Donald Driver, who earned his second Pro Bowl selection by catching 82 passes for 1,048 yards, remains the leader of the team's receiving pack at age 33. Often Brett Favre's security blanket, he'll have to adjust to a new quarterback in Aaron Rodgers for the first time since entering the league in 1999. "We talked about it, and I just told Aaron, "Me and 4, we had that thing that probably it's going to be hard for me and him to get,'" Driver said in the Wisconsin State Journal. "But I think for the last couple of weeks (of offseason practices), we were able to get that. We kind of looked at each other a couple routes, and he knew what I was thinking, I knew what he was thinking and that's what I want from him. I think that's what he wants from me as well. So if we continue to be on the same page, I think it'll work out." (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
If he clicks with Rodgers, Driver's scoring numbers should go up. He caught just two touchdown passes during the regular season — although he did have a 90-yard TD against the New York Giants in the NFC title game — while No. 2 receiver Greg Jennings caught 12 regular-season touchdown passes in just 13 games, making him a viable threat to become Rodgers' go-to guy. "(Driver) doesn't look any different to me than the day I got here," said WR coach Jimmy Robinson, who joined the staff in 2006, Mike McCarthy's first year as coach. "I think the thing that's surprising about Greg is the ratio of touchdowns to catches that he had. That's pretty hard to do, to have 60 catches and 14 touchdowns (including playoffs)." Driver also is in a contract year, and he should be considered a low-end No. 2 Fantasy option worth a pick in Round 8 or 9. (Updated 07/22/2008).
