The Athletic -- Rank: 4
Aaron Rodgers when targeting Davante Adams Sunday: 13-for-16 for 196 yards and two touchdowns. The Packers had a hiccup against Tampa in Week 6 but bounced back with a 35-20 win over Houston. Green Bay has scored 30-plus in five of six games and ranks second in overall offense.
CBS Sports -- Rank: 6
Aaron Rodgers bounced back in a big way against the Texans after losing to Tampa Bay. They still have some defensive issues.
USA Today -- Rank: 7
If you're putting together league's best three-wide formation, Davante Adams has to be part of trio, right? His 44 TD grabs over past five season are five better than anyone else.
ESPN -- Rank: 5
Who needs to step up: OLB Preston Smith
Though six games last year, the edge rusher had seven sacks (on his way to a 12-sack season), 12 QB hits and a pass rush win rate of 24.2%. His numbers through six games this year: a half-sack, two QB hits and a PRWR of 15.6%. Smith made a key fourth-down stop on a read-option by Deshaun Watson during Sunday's game, and the Packers' defense needs more of that. -- Rob Demovsky

NFL.com -- Rank: 5
When Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are locked in, there is no more terrifying twosome in football. The All-Pro QB looked to his star receiver early and often on Sunday, turning 16 targets into 13 receptions for 196 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout of the Texans. Adams finished with the most receiving yards by a Green Bay player since Jordy Nelson's 209 in Week 2 of 2014. It also marked Adams' second day this season with 13-plus catches -- he gathered 14 back in Week 1. A great team performance by the Packers, who put a disappointing Week 6 loss to the Bucs in the rearview.
