I thought it would be fun to look ahead to see what players we think will be productive and who might earn more reps in the upcoming season.

Please note this is not a thread knocking on players. It is a realistic look ahead based off of last year's production, potential to excel this season, etc. Of course all this could change depending on the QB situation, which wont be mentioned. Players are grouped according to positions, in most instances. Unless it is noted, I looked at primary positions not special teams as part of the equation. And hey, I need something to do in the off season!!  My answers are in parenthesis.
