NFL wide receiver rankings: All 32 units entering the 2020 NFL season (7. DETROIT LIONS: The Lions have a well-rounded group of receivers, starting with Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay on the outside. Jones has been one of the league’s best intermediate (10-19 yard) threats over the past two years, grading at 93.3 in that range. He’s also one of the most sure-handed receivers in the league, dropping just 24 passes on 390 catchable targets since entering the league in 2012. Golladay has emerged as one of the best vertical threats in the league, tying for 18th with a 79.3 receiving grade last season. Plus, his 930 yards on deep (20-plus yard) passes rank third-highest in the NFL over the past two years. While Golladay and Jones make for an excellent one-two punch, Danny Amendola is a perfect complement in the slot, as he picked up 678 yards in his first year in Detroit and was “open” on 73.9% of his targets, the fourth-best rate in the NFL last season. The No. 4 spot will be a battle between former Packers wideout Geronimo Allison, 2019 sixth-rounder Travis Fulgham and rookie fifth-rounder Quintez Cephus. Allison showed flashes in Green Bay, but he’s graded in the 50.0s in two of his past three seasons. The other X-factor is Marvin Hall, a 4.4 speedster who played the deep threat role perfectly last year; he caught seven passes for 261 yards, averaging an incredible 37.3 yards per reception. Expect the Lions to use Hall in a similar, field-stretching role. Detroit has one of the better groups in the league and can create chunk plays as well as any receiving corps in the NFL.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-wide-receiver-rankings-all-32-units-2020-nfl-season
Ranking all 32 RB1s heading into 2020: Saquon Barkley at No. 6 (28. Kerryon Johnson (2019 stats: 8 games | 113 att | 403 rush yds | 3.6 ypc | 3 rush TDs | 10 rec | 127 rec yds | 1 rec TD): This was a tough choice between Johnson and rookie D'Andre Swift, who made it clear last week that he's ready to compete "full force" for snaps, but I'm sticking with Johnson. He's been productive when healthy and has two years of NFL experience, while Swift is battling the challenges of a limited offseason. That said, with splitting carries in an offense that goes through Matthew Stafford, this already feels like an uphill battle for Johnson.): https://www.nfl.com/news/ranking-all-32-rb1s-heading-into-2020-saquon-barkley-at-no-6
PFN’s Top 100 NFL Players of 2020 (87. Kenny Golladay, WR, Detroit Lions: Despite only having Matthew Stafford for eight games, Kenny Golladay still recorded a noteworthy season in his third NFL campaign. With only 65 receptions for Detroit, Golladay was the definition of a big-play threat. The Northern Illinois phenom tallied receptions of 75, 66, 59, 47 and 42 on the season. Golladay ranked in the top 10 in receiving with 1,190 yards while grabbing double-digit touchdowns for the first time in his career. The third-year receiver topped the NFL with 11 touchdown receptions in 2019. The former third-round pick capped off his breakout season with a PFN OSM score of 27.69 in 2019, the highest score of his young career. After recording back-to-back 1,000 yard receiving seasons, expect Golladay to continue his run through the PFN Top 100 with a healthy Stafford under center.): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/top-100-nfl-players-2020/
