Offense
The Packers’ offensive playbook favors the passing game, but the right power back can really find some nice holes from the shotgun sets. Don’t draft two big WRs unless an amazing opportunity appears; instead look for one that can be elusive across the middle and run after the catch (RAC).
Key Formation
Gun Doubles Flex Wing is an excellent formation that provides not only a running threat but the ability to block for a deep attempt downfield.

Defense
The Packers run a 3-4 style playbook with strong defenders up front. These players generally come off the field on rushing downs, so don’t invest too much unless an elite DT is there who can be an every-down player. Selecting LBs doesn’t really hurt you, as you can stack five on the field in most situations, as long as they are versatile.
Key Formation
The Big Dime 2-3-6 is an excellent formation for passing downs and will really punish an opponent who didn’t invest in an offensive line. Make sure to grab an extra CB or safety to maximize your effectiveness.
