Then they break down each position, first going through the ADP of the players and next asking some questions to dive further. Quarterbacks - Can Josh Allen repeat his 2020 success, or have we seen peak Josh Allen? - What to expect from Tua as he will finally get a full and hopefully healthy offseason? - What is the over/under for how many games it take for Mac Jones to take the starting job in New England? Running Backs - Will we finally see Damien Harris be the lead back in New England? - Who will get the majority of the carries in New York? - Is there a true lead-back in Buffalo this season? Wide Receivers - With all the mouths to feed in Miami, who are the top 3? - Are we excited about Emmanuel Sanders with Josh Allen throwing him the ball? He didn't perform as many hoped with Brees last season. - Can Corey Davis continue to perform well now that he is in New York? Tight Ends - Are we buying Gesicki in 2021 after what many hoped was going to be a breakout in 2020, only to disappoint? - What to make of the New England tight end situation.
