These landing spots offer mostly primary backup roles (to start) with injury-away upside. Washington, Arizona, and Detroit have some question mark atop their depth chart entering the offseason with Derrius Guice, David Johnson, and Kerryon Johnson all talents but coming off injuries in 2019 to some degree. Guice has an opportunity to stay healthy for the first stretch of his two-year career and David Johnson could also work back to health and relevancy by the end of the season.
