"'Hard Knocks: Los Angeles' kicks off Tuesday and will feature both the Rams and Chargers as they attempt to prepare for a strange and uncertain NFL season. To be fair, that's not all on Cousins. Howard posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career before seeing his production suffer in Year 3, after Matt Nagy's arrival in Chicago. It is highly recommended that you use the latest versions of a supported browser in order to receive an optimal viewing experience. Pouncey almost doesn’t get the job done, but may have done enough. If Newton's arm is right, this trio could easily be a top-10 or even top-five unit by season's end.I fully recognize that I'm higher on Carr than most, but I truly think the sixth-year pro is set to have a career season. While it's unclear how Johnson will fit into new coach Kliff Kingsbury's version of the Air Raid offense, I'm not docking the runner for a potential poor scheme fit. Ertz has established himself as a complete tight end and the ultimate security blanket for Eagles passers. His 0-4 record and 57.8 passer rating in the postseason dropped him to 27th in the one-game ranking and sabotaged an otherwise-formidable unit.


We should expect the best from the 26-year-old generational talent. When healthy, Green is still an upper-echelon WR1. If he stays healthy, he definitely has the potential to make good on the massive contract the Of all the trios on this list, Baltimore's offensive core is the one I'm most excited to see take the field in September.

Fitzgerald is a first-ballot Hall of Famer and will almost certainly finish his 16th NFL season No. The second-year pro was a YAC monster, finishing the year tied for first in YAC per reception (7.1) among receivers who were targeted at least 40 times, per PFF. I know I might get some flak for ranking Murray higher in the one-game scenario than a few more-established passers, such as Andy Dalton and Jameis Winston, but the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner's dynamic skill set and overflowing confidence have made me a believer. I initially had Chubb in the mid-teens, and then at the behest of NFL.com editor and noted Browns fan Tom Blair, I re-watched some tape from last year and dove a bit deeper into the data. Part of the unit's problem, as head coach Mike Zimmer frequently lamented, was its lack of commitment to the running game (and questionable O-line play).

The Browns were picked by many to win this game, particularly with the Chargers having to … I agree with my colleague Adam Rank that Edelman is a Hall of Famer. And I say that with an 'S' on the end." Still questioning my projection for Rivers? Durability, not a drop-off in ability, is the main concern for the soon-to-be 31-year-old superstar.It might be controversial to rank Hopkins as the NFL's No. Metcalf's offseason progress, but we shouldn't overlook Lockett's contributions: Wilson had a perfect passer rating when targeting Lockett (57 catches, 965 yards, 10 TDs, 0 INTS) last season, per PFF.

As for Beckham, the table is set for a career-defining season. While I lamented not putting Jones one spot higher, I'm worried I perhaps put Freeman too high. For the first time in a decade, the two-time MVP was just really great, and not some Thanos-like Titan sent to eradicate Bears fans' Super Bowl dreams with a snap of his fingers. But it's a testament to Russell Wilson's greatness and Chris Carson's take-notice arrival last season. However, for both Carr and Brown to really take off, they'll need help from the run game -- something Oakland has received little of the past two seasons. CLEVELAND, OH - OCTOBER 14: Melvin Gordon #28 of the Los Angeles Chargers celebrates scoring a touchdown with Dan Feeney #66 of the Los Angeles Chargers in the third quarter against the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium on October 14, 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio.
If they win six games this season they’ll:a) improve on last season’s record by 100 percent, andThe Bengals will be better if they can coax full seasons from The Lions beat the eventual Super Bowl champions last season and finally got a 100-yard rushing performance from one of their tailbacks. Although not as dynamic or multi-faceted as Bell (who sat out the entire season rather than sign his franchise tender), the third-year back out of Pitt more than held his own as the Steelers' fill-in RB1, totaling 1,470 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns while earning his first Pro Bowl selection.

The 2019 season was the Cleveland Browns' 67th in the National Football League, their 71st overall, their second full season under general manager John Dorsey and their only season under head coach Freddie Kitchens.They finished 6–10, failing to improve on their 7–8–1 record from 2018 or end their franchise-record and league-high 16-year playoff drought. Do the Buccaneers boast the top duo at the position entering the 2020 season? Cleveland Browns. Instead, the offense brought power and dominated. The Vikings' offense as a whole ranked nine spots worse in both points scored (from 10th to 19th) and total yards (11th to 20th) year-over-year. Rosen ranks last among quarterbacks because his rookie season was such a wash, and because his offensive coordinator count has already hit three (four if you count his short minicamp stint with Kliff Kingsbury in April) before he's even begun Year 2. And his 4-1 postseason record over the past two years. 3 tight end Hilton (ranked 13th) or Brandin Cooks (11th) flip the field in a moment's notice. Which player was the biggest snub from that elite group? Instead, he'll be asked to be efficient with his opportunities and come up big when the team needs him most, like Bevell's former quarterback in Seattle, Russell Wilson.
