Top 10 OROY candidates: RBs at Nos. 2-4 in ranking (3) D'Andre Swift, RB, Detroit Lions: Swift deserved more run in conversations about the top offensive players in the 2020 draft. He ultimately slipped to Round 2, where the Lions nabbed him with the 35th overall pick. While Matthew Stafford has filled up stat sheets on a consistent basis during his 11 seasons, Detroit hasn't won a playoff game since the 1991 campaign, and the team's running-game woes have been a main culprit for that drought in the past two decades. Swift enters the NFL with plenty of tread still on the tires. He features outstanding vision and change-of-direction efficiency to make the most of what is blocked for him. His team might not win as many games as Edwards-Helaire's this season, but his numbers could look similar.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-offensive-rookie-of-the-year-candidates-joe-burrow-leads-field

Best- and worst-case scenarios for every NFL team ahead of the 2020 season (DETROIT LIONS - 10th percentile outcome: 5-11. How they get there: The air-it-out offense we saw with Matthew Stafford early in the 2019 season doesn’t return, or perhaps, Stafford doesn’t play nearly as well as he did last season (81.6 passing grade through the first nine weeks). The defense still has some issues, as well. Rookies who are counted on for important roles ─ players such as Julian Okwara and Jeffrey Okudah ─ don’t hit the ground running. On a related note, Detroit also struggles to generate a pass rush from everyone not named Trey Flowers, which is something we saw in 2019 when their team pressure rate of 29.2% ranked 30th in the NFL. 90th percentile outcome: 10-6. How they get there: The Lions were more competitive than their record would have you believe with Stafford at quarterback in 2019. Through the first nine weeks of the season, Detroit had the fifth-most-efficient passing offense in the NFL, according to EPA per play. On defense, the Lions are improved in coverage despite losing Darius Slay, and that’s thanks to the improved depth they have after bringing in Okudah, Desmond Trufant and Duron Harmon in the secondary. That leads to a team with all the makings of a worst-to-first candidate.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-best-worse-case-scenarios-every-afc-team-2020-season
