AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills
Is there hope for a big step forward from the passing game with Josh Allen under center?
The Bills are banking on it. If there isn't, then there will be significant heat on general manager Brandon Beane, coach Sean McDermott and especially offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Expect the Bills to devote some combination of salary-cap space and draft picks to skill-position players and their offensive line. The problem isn't just the passing game; Bills running backs averaged the second-lowest yards per carry in 2018 and will need to take pressure off Allen and the passing game in 2019. -- Mike Rodak
Miami Dolphins
Do you anticipate a breakout second season for Mike Gesicki?
That's up to the work Gesicki does in the offseason to improve, to get stronger and better facing physical NFL defenders. Offensive coordinator Chad O'Shea and tight ends coach George Godsey, both of whom have spent several years coaching with Rob Gronkowski, should benefit Gesicki and make him an important factor in the offseason. I haven't seen enough yet to predict a breakout Year 2 for Gesicki, but his athleticism, speed and skills are still there waiting to be unleashed. -- Cameron Wolfe
New England Patriots
Will Sony Michel continue to be a nonfactor in the passing game?
When Michel was coming out of Georgia, several media analysts compared his style of play to Saints RB Alvin Kamara because he was a dual threat as a rusher and pass-catcher. But the pass-catching part of his game never truly materialized, and I believe that will change in the future. A full offseason, and training camp, should help in that regard. So don't sleep on Michel rounding out his game in 2019. -- Mike Reiss
New York Jets
Was Sam Darnold's big final month a sign of things to come for 2019?
The Jets think so. His four-game finish, projected over an entire season, would be 3,700 yards and 24 touchdown passes. But there are two big variables that must be consistent: Darnold has a new playcaller (Adam Gase), and his supporting cast is in a state of flux. If the Jets can add a playmaker, say, Le'Veon Bell, there's every reason to believe Darnold can build on what he started in the final month. -- Rich Cimini
AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens
Will we be able to trust any of the team's wide receivers with Lamar Jackson leading a run-heavy offense?
Not until Jackson proves he has made significant strides as a passer. After he took over as the starting quarterback in Week 11, Baltimore's wide receivers totaled an NFL-worst 45 catches for 520 yards and three touchdowns. Jackson's favorite wide receiver target was slot receiver Willie Snead, and he averaged only 29 yards receiving per game. Only 56 percent of Jackson's targets in seven starts went to wide receivers, which isn't surprising. Jackson ranked among the league's worst in completing passes outside the numbers. The Ravens will work with him to improve in this area of the field, and they could invest a first-round pick in a wide receiver. But the safest fantasy bet with Jackson is tight end Mark Andrews. -- Jamison Hensley
Cincinnati Bengals
Was Tyler Boyd's breakout third season a fluke or a sign of things to come?
A sign of things to come. Boyd had maturity issues early in his career and took a huge step forward in that department, which clearly showed up in his play. His growth has been evident since the end of the 2017 season, and there would be no reason to think that would change in 2019 with the right pieces in place. -- Katherine Terrell
Cleveland Browns
How does Duke Johnson Jr. fit into the offense with Kareem Hunt added to a backfield that also includes Nick Chubb?
Johnson's role will be affected more by the signing of Hunt than anything. Hunt was an every-down back in Kansas City who started 27 games, and he could take snaps from Chubb and Johnson. The key is whether the new coaching staff can find ways to use all three, and whether Hunt is suspended by the NFL and for how long. -- Pat McManamon
Pittsburgh Steelers
If Antonio Brown departs, how excited should we be for a James Washington breakout?
Mildly excited. Tight end Vance McDonald said it best when he told ESPN about Washington: He'll be dangerous when he realizes how good he can be. Washington has obvious talent but seemed to struggle with confidence as a rookie. He came alive late in the year with 60-plus yards in two of his last three games, and Washington says he plans to refine his game this offseason and find more chemistry with Ben Roethlisberger. There's no reason Washington can't be a legitimate No. 2 receiver behind JuJu Smith-Schuster. -- Jeremy Fowler
AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans
Is there room for both Will Fuller V and Keke Coutee to produce consistently behind DeAndre Hopkins?
It might be awhile before anyone can answer that. Fuller and Coutee have to prove they can stay healthy. Fuller missed 15 games the past two seasons and suffered a torn ACL in October, and he might not get back on the field fully cleared before training camp. Coutee missed 10 games with hamstring issues, though he came up big in the playoffs. Hopkins, Fuller and Coutee were on the field together for only four games last season, and interestingly Deshaun Watson threw only five TD passes and four interceptions in those games (he had 21 TDs and five INTs in the other 12 games). The upside of this group is tremendous, but it might not be until 2020 that we can see just how effective they can be. -- Michael DiRocco
Indianapolis Colts
Can we count on another huge season from Eric Ebron with a healthy Jack Doyle back in the fold?
Nothing should change with the return of Doyle next season. Doyle will likely still be looked at as the team's primary dual tight end when it comes to blocking and pass-catching. Ebron, as he was last season, is a big red zone target for quarterback Andrew Luck. The combination of Ebron's size -- 6-foot-4 -- and speed makes him a matchup nightmare, because he's too tall for most defensive backs and too quick for a lot of linebackers. That played a significant factor in why he finished tied for second in receiving touchdowns with 13. Doyle's return will just make the Colts' tight end group that much better. -- Mike Wells
Jacksonville Jaguars
Can we trust Leonard Fournette for high-end production after an inefficient and tumultuous 2018?
Coach Doug Marrone said he thinks Fournette is in a good place after their end-of-season meeting, but we won't know for several months whether that's the case. Will he show up in shape and stay for all OTAs? Will he return to camp in shape? Will he be on time and pay attention in meetings? Will he take things more seriously? Until Fournette answers those questions, there's no reason for anyone -- the Jaguars included -- to trust Fournette. The team had better go into the season with a better backup plan at running back than it did last season. -- Michael DiRocco
Tennessee Titans
Will Derrick Henry pick up where left off after dominating in the second half of 2018?
Henry will certainly pick up where he left off in the second half of 2018. New coordinator Arthur Smith has identified Henry as the focal point of the offense. Smith intends to keep a lot of things in the running game the same from last year. "Derrick will be a big part of the offense," Smith said. "He has a rare skill set. Derrick's a home run hitter. We are taking another step hopefully with him." -- Turron Davenport
AFC WEST
Denver Broncos
Should we be concerned about Phillip Lindsay's poor efficiency beyond YPC, or do you view him as the real deal?
Lindsay's game is explosiveness and decisiveness with the ball. He's at his best when he sees the hole, hits it and gets to the second level before the defenders converge. His game isn't going to be yards after contact. His effectiveness will revolve around how he is used. Mike Munchak will improve the offensive line's play, and the Broncos will expend some resources there. To that end, the Broncos figure to be better at the point of attack, so Lindsay should have more opportunities to get to the second level if things go as the Broncos hope up front. Lindsay's touches figure to remain roughly the same. -- Jeff Legwold
Kansas City Chiefs
Do you expect Damien Williams to open 2019 as the team's lead (and perhaps featured) back?
The Chiefs will likely draft a back in an early to middle round, as they did with Kareem Hunt in the third in 2017. That would have an impact on how much Williams plays and what kind of workload he is given. But for now, at least, the job is his and he earned it given the way he played the last few weeks of the season. -- Adam Teicher
Los Angeles Chargers
Can we finally feel comfortable with Mike Williams as a consistent producer after a strong finish to 2018?
The Clemson product finished second on the team in targets with 66 and led the Chargers with 10 receiving touchdowns. Starting receiver Tyrell Williams is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, and if the price tag is too rich, the Chargers likely will move on, with Mike Williams emerging as the No. 2 receiver for Philip Rivers. The table is set for Mike Williams to become a consistent, reliable target for the Chargers if he stays healthy in 2019. -- Eric D. Williams
Oakland Raiders
Who will lead the team in rushing in 2019?
Is this a trick question, what with DeAndre Washington the only tailback with experience currently under contract for the Raiders? So with Jalen Richard a restricted free agent as well as more of a change-of-pace back, Jon Gruden somewhat noncommittal about re-signing Marshawn Lynch, who missed the last 10 games with a groin injury and has not said whether he even wants to play next season, and Gruden heaping praise upon Doug Martin, let's go with the erstwhile Muscle Hamster being re-signed and leading the Raiders in rushing in 2019. Yes, at age 30. Martin rounded into shape late in Gruden's offense, averaging 4.7 yards per carry after Lynch went down and scoring all four of his TDs. -- Paul Gutierrez
NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys
With Dallas throwing more down the stretch, can we count on a breakout second season from Michael Gallup?
I guess it would depend on the definition of "breakout." He caught 33 passes for 507 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie, but he caught six passes for 119 yards in the playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Even with Scott Linehan no longer being the offensive coordinator, the Cowboys are going to be an offense that runs through Ezekiel Elliott. They also have Amari Cooper on the outside, and he was on pace for a near-1,300-yard season over a 16-game workload after being traded to Dallas. Gallup's development is key, because the more options Dak Prescott has, the better it is for the quarterback. Gallup has to be stronger at the catch. He allowed defensive players to break up too many passes as a rookie, but he also can come up with the big play. He has big-time potential, but if the offense remains run-first, it would be hard to see him having 1,000 yards in Year 2. -- Todd Archer
New York Giants
Should we be worried about Odell Beckham Jr.'s recent injury woes or expect a big rebound season in 2019?
No need to worry. None of Beckham's injuries have been related. This past season, it was a freak leg whip that forced him to miss the final four games. He still had more than 1,000 yards in 12 games. With better quarterback play, he's bound for another monster season in 2019, in the range of the 90-plus catches, 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns he produced each of his first three years. -- Jordan Raanan
Philadelphia Eagles
Which Carson Wentz should we expect in 2019: the 2017 MVP candidate or the more conservative, less productive 2018 version?
He'll look closer to his 2017 self. Wentz did not have the same level of explosiveness and elusiveness coming off a torn ACL/LCL and was limited physically by a stress fracture in his back, as well. He anticipates being back at full health this season, and his game should elevate in turn. -- Tim McManus
Washington Redskins
Who will lead the team in receiving in 2019?
The easy choice is TE Jordan Reed. The problem is, we don't even know who's going to be throwing the ball or all of that person's targets. The Redskins want to add players here -- and will they re-sign Jamison Crowder (that will be difficult)? But I say Reed because he led them in receiving this year despite playing in only 13 games -- and despite not even being able to run until July. It took him a while to regain any sort of explosion out of his cuts and to adjust to how defenses were now playing him. Reed did miss the final three games because of foot and ankle injuries, but for the first time since 2016 he'll be able to fully work out and strengthen himself in the offseason and not rehab. It makes a difference. The Redskins also need to help him out more by putting him in better positions to run after the catch, but that won't limit the volume of targets. -- John Keim
NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears
Why did Anthony Miller's usage plummet in the second half, and should we expect a big step forward in 2019?
The rookie receiver came on strong, averaging 5.1 targets in his first eight games, but dipped to 2.2 in his final six games. Miller struggled with shoulder injuries throughout the season. He dislocated his left shoulder in Week 3 and did so again several times throughout the season, including Week 17, when he left early in a win against the Vikings. He said he was never 100 percent all season and will undergo shoulder surgery in the offseason. He should be ready for what figures to be a more productive second season. But one thing to keep in mind: Coach Matt Nagy likes to spread the ball around, making it tough to count on Bears playmakers on a weekly basis. -- Jeff Dickerson
Detroit Lions
Will Kerryon Johnson be used as a feature/workhorse back in 2019?
He should have a bigger role and was trending that direction before his season-ending injury against Carolina. There will still be some committee to it -- that would appear to be how Matt Patricia wants to run things -- but Johnson is going to be the back the Lions feature. It's just a question of who the complementary backs surrounding him will be. He has the potential to be a top-10 fantasy back in 2019. -- Michael Rothstein
Green Bay Packers
Who will be the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Davante Adams?
It was supposed to be Randall Cobb last season, but his injury-riddled year probably ended any chance that the Packers will bring him back for 2019. That means they're going to be in the receiver market once again. Last year, they drafted three, and the most likely candidate to move into the No. 2 role this season is Marquez Valdes-Scantling, a fifth-round pick last year. He proved to be a deep threat as a rookie, averaging 15.3 yards on 38 catches with a pair of 100-yard games. He had eight catches of 20-plus yards, second on the team behind Adams. -- Rob Demovsky
Minnesota Vikings
How confident can we be in Dalvin Cook for a breakout 2019 season?
The slew of hires/changes the Vikings made to their offensive staff this offseason reinforces the notion that this team wants to be effective running the ball. Cook is and will remain the focal point of the offense. Although he suffered a setback in 2018 with a hamstring injury in the same leg in which he tore his ACL the year before, he reiterated time and again after returning in Week 9 that he was healthy and no longer had anything holding him back. If things stay that way, the third-year running back should be primed for a breakout season in 2019. The Vikings know their explosive weapon is a tremendous asset running and catching passes. Giving Cook 18-25 touches per game and getting him the ball in space will spark the breakout year he covets. -- Courtney Cronin
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons
Can we count on Devonta Freeman for a big rebound season?
The Falcons certainly are counting on Freeman to have a bounce-back year after a season-ending groin injury. Without the two-time Pro Bowler in the lineup last season, the Falcons finished 27th in rushing at 98.3 yards per game. Now, a lot of that had to do with not getting enough push from the offensive line and not staying committed to the run, but a healthy Freeman can be a difference-maker. "He's a great player,'' quarterback Matt Ryan said of Freeman. "He can make things happen in the passing game and in the running game. His ability to cut back, his ability to make people miss, his ability to run with power, all that stuff is good." -- Vaughn McClure
Carolina Panthers
Is it fair to say DJ Moore has locked himself in as the team's clear No. 1 wide receiver?
Yes. Absolutely. Moore played 86.4 percent of the offensive snaps the final 10 games when the Panthers began phasing out Devin Funchess. He caught 36 of his 55 passes over the final eight games and became a threat in the running game with reverses. His ability to turn short gains into long ones is what offensive coordinator Norv Turner and the staff envisioned when they selected him with the 24th pick of the 2018 draft. -- David Newton
New Orleans Saints
How likely is it that Tre'Quan Smith will enter 2019 as the team's No. 2 wide receiver opposite Michael Thomas?
Smith still has breakout potential, but I don't think the Saints (or fantasy owners) can count on him as a bona fide No. 2 just yet until we see it on a consistent basis. I actually think the Saints' top priority in free agency should be finding another go-to guy at tight end or slot receiver. After that, it could be a wide timeshare between Smith, Ted Ginn Jr., Cameron Meredith and Keith Kirkwood, among others. -- Mike Triplett
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Should we be worried about O.J. Howard's production in Bruce Arians' wide receiver-friendly offense?
If you look at the numbers produced by Arians' tight ends, they aren't great. But what if you pencil Howard into the role Larry Fitzgerald has had with the Cardinals? Arians moved him into the slot, and he started handling a lot more passes underneath. Howard is simply too big to be brought down by most linebackers, and, like Fitzgerald, he's a terrific run-blocker, even if they play different positions. Howard would be a terrific piece to have running some of Arians' favorite concepts, which work multiple levels of the field. -- Jenna Laine
NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals
What are reasonable expectations for David Johnson after a very disappointing season?
It might seem wild, but a 1,000-1,000 season is a reasonable expectation for Johnson in his first season under new coach Kliff Kingsbury. Running back is a key component -- maybe the most important cog, actually -- to the Air Raid scheme Kingsbury runs. That means Johnson will be getting a lot of touches as a running back and receiver after a disappointing 2018 in which the Cardinals could never figure out how exactly to use him. One of the benefits of Kingsbury's scheme is that if a defense begins to key in on Johnson, the Air Raid is designed to get the other receivers involved quickly, stressing the defense. That could leave Johnson open for more explosive plays this year. -- Josh Weinfuss
Los Angeles Rams
Should we be worried about Todd Gurley's future prospects after his well-documented late-season dip in usage?
No. Despite the late-season decline in usage, Gurley remains the Rams' go-to playmaker. Sure, you're thinking he didn't display as much in the NFC Championship Game or Super Bowl, but that was because Rams coach Sean McVay elected to have Gurley split carries with C.J. Anderson. That strategy was not effective and played a large role in Gurley's inability to develop a rhythm in either game. With one of the most dynamic running backs at his disposal, it's unlikely McVay will opt to keep Gurley on the sideline when the season kicks off. -- Lindsey Thiry
San Francisco 49ers
How do you expect backfield touches to be distributed with Jerick McKinnon back in the fold?
This is a hard question to answer without seeing McKinnon back in action, but the expectation should be similar to what it was a year ago, assuming he returns to health. The 49ers are optimistic about that, and McKinnon should be ready to go for training camp. The plans for him were always to get the majority of the work with Matt Breida serving as his complement. McKinnon figured to be particularly active in the passing game, and I'd expect that to be the case if he's healthy, though Breida was good enough last year to earn more of a timeshare than might have been anticipated when McKinnon signed in 2018. -- Nick Wagoner
Seattle Seahawks
What are Rashaad Penny's chances for a breakout second season with Chris Carson in the mix?
It's hard to imagine Penny taking over the No. 1 spot in Seattle's backfield after Carson rushed for more than 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns, but he should have a bigger role in 2019 with Mike Davis scheduled to become a free agent. Part of the Seahawks' motivation for re-signing Davis last offseason and then drafting Penny 27th overall was that they weren't sure how Carson would come back from a serious leg injury. There's less of a need for veteran insurance like Davis now that the Seahawks know Carson is back to his pre-injury form, so expect them to lean more on Penny as the second option and the spot starter when needed. -- Brady Henderson
