2020 projected stats- 700 yards & 7 TDs
4.) John Ross- He was over drafted in 2017 but that doesn't mean he isn't any good. He shown break out ability at times during his career. His speed is a game changer when he is in the line up.
2020 projected stats- 850 yards & 8 TDs
3.) Germaine Pratt- one of the most encouraging signs at the end of last season was Pratts play. The kid's sideline to sideline speed looked next Level.
Projected stats- 110 Tackles (80 solo), 10 TFls, 5 PD, 2 sacks.
2.) Andrew Brown- He played more end the DT which was a mistake last season. However he impressed me when he was DT. Although his stats won't show it.  I think he plays a big time role as the Nickel DT in between Geno & Dunlap.
Projected Stats- 5 sacks, 12 QB Hits,  8 TFLs
1.) Carl Lawson- some would say he has already broken out but I think he his due for a superstar like season. In the last 8 games he had 4 sacks and 20 QB Hits. To me he is a guy that has shown he can be a huge game wrecker. However this season he is going to show that he is a DPOY candidate.
Projected Stats- 16 sacks, 36 QB Hits, and 12 TFLs.
Who are your breakout players? Who is on the list you agree with or disagree with?

Although I think some of your stats are a bit lofty...Like, if Pratt has 10 TFLs, 80 solo tackles, and 5 PD...he should probably be in the Pro Bowl.  Not that I think it can't happen, but the stats are a bit lofts.  He is an absolute breakout candidate, though, if he can continue on the path he finished last season.

Here are mine:

Tyler Boyd-  Sure, he is already a very solid WR2, but I think if Green is back and Ross stays healthy outside that Boyd will own the middle of the field.  Look at what Jefferson did with Burrow out of the slot (although to be fair, Green will be likely rotating in and out of the slot).  Boyd could be poised to have his best season by far.

Gio Bernard-  I said it last year, and whiffed.  So, I am not just playing the %s and saying Gio again, but I look at how comfortable Burrow is in the empty backfield, 5-man protections.  Gio could be in on more series and not just third down where is talents as a receiver were wasted because he was always staying in for pass protection.  This is more of what Green Bay always has done with Rogers, and (I know that is crazy praise) Burrow has that kind of vision and ability to slide around avoiding a free rusher to either find someone downfield or take the checkdown.  Gio can only make plays when he gets the ball and I don't mean when he gets it with a LB ready to kill him as in prior years.

Jessie Bates-  He had a disappointing year last year after a promising rookie campaign, but I think the improvements around him allow him to play more center field and I believe he has playmaking ability.  I hope to see more INTs out of him.


That's all I got....I did Ross, Hubbard, and Mixon last year if memory serves...
