To the tune of 17 catches for 358 yards and two scores so far for Valdes-Scantling, plus a team-high 21.1 yards per catch. He has touchdown catches in two of his last four games, with 100 yards receiving in each of the other two games during that span.

The production increase is in part due to helping fill in for Allison and Cobb while each player missed a few games with hamstring injuries. Cobb is questionable again for the Dolphins game because of hamstring trouble.

That leaves more opportunities for Valdes-Scantling to be the second receiver behind Davante Adams.

The process of gaining Rodgers' trust, though, isn't easy. It requires more than just making catches.

"It's not going to happen in one day. You've got to learn the plays, you've got to know the plays," Valdes-Scantling said. "He's going to quiz you in practice, so you've just got to know all those things. It just happens over time."

Proof of the payoff came late in the third quarter of last week's loss at New England, with the game tied at 17. Deep in Packers territory, Rodgers rolled right, where he quickly found two defenders trying to close in on him for a sack.
