B. Love - RB

WAS

Head coach Jay Gruden said Monday that Love (knee) will open the season on the PUP list and that it's very possible that his 2019 campaign turns out to be a "redshirt year," John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Love, who is is currently on the Non-Football Injury list, sustained a torn ACL in December. The rookie fourth-round pick will have to sit on the PUP list (a move that will occur in advance of Week 1) for at least the first six weeks of the season, but he won't count against Washington's 53-man roster. If Love manages to return this season, he'll face a crowded running back room that includes Adrian Peterson, Derrius Guice and Chris Thompson.

P. Mahomes - QB

Quarterbacks facing this Bucs this season completed 67.88 percent of their passes.

A mere six teams gave up a higher completion rate in the 2020 regular season. QBs facing Tampa in the postseason have completed 61.9 percent of their passes. A pass funnel defense -- 75.5 percent of yards gained against Tampa came through the air -- the Bucs consistently gave up efficient passing performances. They now face Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl -- the same guy who roasted the Bucs in Week 12 for 462 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75.5 percent of his throws. The Bucs are going to have to pour on the points if they're going to keep pace with Mahomes and the KC offense.

J. Love - QB

ESPN's Rob Demovsky said Packers backup QB Tim Boyle "would be more suited" than Jordan Love to start in 2021 if Aaron Rodgers is traded or retires this offseason.

In other words, the Packers would be in bad spot if Rodgers isn't in green and yellow next season. Demovsky said "nothing [Love] has shown, at least publicly, would suggest" he's ready to replace Rodgers a year after the Packers inexplicably drafted Love in the first round. Packers beat writers have written extensively since last summer that Love is an erratic passer who appears over his head in Green Bay's offense. "Love has struggled with accuracy -- in the drill where quarterbacks throw to a stationary target (usually a net) and to players running routes on air (without a defender)," Demovsky said. He suggested the team's best course might be to trade Love, like the Patriots did with Jimmy Garoppolo when Tom Brady was unhappy about New England drafting his successor. That Love isn't locked in as Green Bay's starter post-Rodgers is an indictment of the entire organization.

S. Miller - WR

Scotty Miller ran pass routes on 20 of Tom Brady's 37 drop backs in the NFC Championship Game.

With Antonio Brown (knee) sidelined, Miller served as Tampa's WR3 against the Packers, catching two balls for 36 yards and a score. Rookie Tyler Johnson ran just 12 routes against Green Bay and caught one pass. Brown will have two weeks to get right before the Bucs play the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, but a setback with his knee injury could make Miller central part of the team's wideout rotation against KC.

D. Metcalf - WR

SEA

DK Metcalf said Seattle opponents "figured out" the Seahawks' offensive formula during the 2020 season.

"We've been running deep pass, ever since (coach) Pete (Carroll) got there," Metcalf said. "Play-action. Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, go deep. Teams just said, 'We're just not gonna let you all go deep.'" Metcalf was being polite in assessing how toothless the Seahawks' offense had become by the season's final month and a half -- a shadow of the outrageously productive offense of the regular season's first six weeks. Metcalf still managed to become the first Seattle wideout ever to record 1,300 receiving yards in a season, mostly on the strength of a nearly 800 yard first half of the regular season. Metcalf and the rest of Seattle's offense cooled off from there thanks to the team reverting to their run-heavy ways. Seattle's yards per play plummeted from a league-leading 6.6 in the season's first half to 5.1 in the second half. Head coach Pete Carroll, after firing offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, said the team would look to further establish the run in 2021.

D. Williams - RB

Packers signed RB Dexter Williams, OLB Tipa Galeai, LB De'Jon Harris, G Zack Johnson, TE Isaac Nauta, DT Willington Previlon, DT Anthony Rush, CB Stanford Samuels, RB Mike Weber, and P Ryan Winslow to reserve/future contracts.

Williams, Green Bay's sixth-round pick in 2019, was only called up from the practice squad in Week 9 since both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams were unavailable against the 49ers. With Jones potentially walking in free agency, however, there's a chance Williams opens the 2021 season as the team's No. 2 back. He turned 24 on January 4.

C. Beasley - WR

BUF

Bills WR Cole Beasley said he broke his fibula at the end of the season.

It was listed as a "knee" injury on Buffalo's injury reports throughout the postseason. Beasley said it "hurt" in the Wild Card round against Indy but was "slightly less" painful in both the Divisional Round and Conference Championship. Though not a full break, it's possible the 31-year-old undergoes offseason surgery before returning for OTAs and minicamp.

M. Schwartz - OT

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he's "not optimistic" RT Mitchell Schwartz (back) will be available for Super Bowl LV.

It's uninspiring news after the Chiefs lost LT Eric Fisher with an Achilles' injury in Sunday's win over the Bills. Kansas City has plugged holes up front with Mike Remmers, Andrew Wylie and Nick Allegretti to this point and will likely be forced to continue doing so with Schwartz eyeing another absence for the Super Bowl. Wylie, an undrafted free agent guard, will continue replacing Schwartz in Tampa Bay.

T. Brady - QB

Tom Brady has an adjusted completion rate of 68.6 percent over his three 2021 postseason games.

That marks a 6.5-point drop from his regular season adjusted completion rate, which accounts for throw aways, drops, spiked balls, batted passes, and passes where the quarterback was hit while he threw the ball, per Pro Football Focus. Only Russell Wilson -- who only played one playoff game -- has a lower adjusted completion rate this postseason. Brady and the Bucs made it out of Green Bay with a Super Bowl berth despite his three interceptions to go along with three touchdown tosses against one of the league's top secondaries. Brady hasn't gotten much help from his pass catchers, who have recorded a dozen drops in three postseason contests (the adjusted completion rate accounts for drops). The 43 year old's accuracy issues could pose problems for the Bucs offense in the Super Bowl against a Kansas City secondary that allowed the league's fourth lowest completion rate in 2020.

M. Brown - WR

BAL

Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said he was happy with how the team's wideouts played in 2020.

In a wide-ranging interview with reporters Monday morning, DeCosta said he's not singularly focused on bolstering the receiver position this offseason. “We have a running attack that’s the best in football and probably the best in the history of football," DeCosta said when asked about adding pieces to a Baltimore passing offense that struggled throughout 2020. DeCosta said he was "very happy" with rookie wideouts Devin Duvernay and James Proche, and called Marquise Brown a "legitimate playmaker." "Everybody is going to talk about WRs a lot this offseason, but it doesn't sound like [DeCosta] envisions some silver bullet 'fix' there," Ryan Mink, the team's editorial director, said on Twitter. The Ravens would figure to be in the running to sign free agent wideouts like Kenny Golladay, Chris Godwin, and Allen Robinson, but it sounds like DeCosta isn't committed to pouring resources into the team's passing attack. Any free agent receiver addition would be an iffy bet for fantasy purposes in the Ravens' low-volume passing offense.

L. Jackson - QB

BAL

Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said the team could sign Lamar Jackson to a contract extension this offseason.

This should (temporarily) quiet the L-Jax skeptics who have been critical of his passing acumen in recent months after his completion rate dipped and his otherworldly 2019 adjusted yards per attempt of 8.9 fell to 7.6 in 2020. The team is 34-12 in Jackson's starts over the past three seasons on the strength of an efficient offense predicated on dominating opponents on the ground. It's crystal clear that the Ravens are committed to Jackson, who, at 24, might already be the best dual threat quarterback in league history. He has 2,906 rushing yards over his 46 NFL games, or 63.17 yards per contest. The team will need to improve their wide receiver group and make the offense far less predictable in 2021 if Jackson is going to make the leap as a passer. He would become an unrestricted free agent in 2023 if the Ravens can't come to terms on a long-term deal.

I. McKenzie - WR

BUF

Isaiah McKenzie caught his lone target for a six-yard touchdown in the Bills' AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs.

The Bills' fifth wideout, McKenzie was in on a quarter of the offensive snaps this season after re-signing on a one-year deal. He ended the year with career highs in catches (30), yards (282), and touchdowns (5) on 34 targets as a high-percentage option out of the slot and near the line of scrimmage. McKenzie will be 26 this offseason and could be brought back for his sure hands and reliability.

G. Davis - WR

BUF

Gabriel Davis failed to catch any of his three targets in the Bills' AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs.

It was a rough finish to what was a flashy rookie season for the fourth-rounder. Davis played 73% of the Bills' snaps and was a regular in three- and four-wide sets with John Brown in and out of the lineup most of the season. Davis appeared in all 16 games and went 35-599-7 on 62 targets, averaging a robust 17.1 yards per catch as a big-play specialist and red-zone threat. Davis is a legit NFL wideout and could be in line for a bigger 2021 role if the Bills decide to move on from Brown in the final year of his contract. Davis' arrow is screaming upward in an aggressive passing offense.
