1. Kevin Jones
- From what I have read, his receiving and blocking have grown leaps and bounds this off-season. Also the Lions do not plan on taking him off the field, like Mariucci did often. I think he can be a 1,300 yard back this year, and a good number two.
2. Aaron Brooks
- I think he rebounds back to his old form. With the help of Randy Moss and Jerry Porter. I also see Art Shell getting better play out of that O-Line.
3. Andre Johnson
- Finally he has a complimentary receiver opposite of him. Also Kubiak's offense will better protect Carr. I see Johnson having a monster season, possibly top-5 overall.
4. Jamal Lewis
- People underestimated the effect his ankle injury (the one Curt Schilling struggled with) and lack of conditioning would negatively impact him. The O-Line should be better. He will be in good shape, and the presence of McNair will keep defenses honest. Although do not expect 2,000 yards.
5. Michael Clayton
- Joey Galloway will not remain healthy, time has shown over and over again, that a healthy season for him is rare. Clayon will be entering his third season, in better shape, I expect to him to take over, as Simms go to guy.
