Big Ben, Gronk are co-favorites for Comeback Player of the Year (The next-shortest odds belong to Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt at +600, followed by Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green at +1000. Cam Newton is at +1400, as are Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, Washington quarterback Alex Smith and Texans running back David Johnson.):  https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/

Breakout team: 22 set for Year 2 leap (Tight end: Jace Sternberger, Packers and T.J. Hockenson, Lions - The breakout team is going to run 12 personnel (one running back, two tight ends) because the tight end class was honestly more intriguing than the wide receivers. Sternberger and Hockenson were the two chosen, but I could have made arguments in defense of Noah Fant and Dawson Knox as well.  Green Bay was linked to the top tight ends available in free agency, but was unable to sign them. Parting with Jimmy Graham was the right decision, but it left them with a vacancy at the position. Sternberger, a third-round pick, is going to be asked to shoulder a larger share of the targets. Hockenson was the first tight end taken, but his first season could only be described as 'so-so.' There is no question that an injury to veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford stifled his development. The Iowa product's production should more closely resemble his potential in the upcoming season.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-2020-breakout-team-these-22-players-are-ready-to-make-the-leap-in-year-two/
