20. Atlanta Falcons

I’m probably higher on them than most, but if the defense plays like it did the second half of 2019, they could surprise people this year. The offense could be great, especially with a vintage performance by Todd Gurley. Or, they could flame out and fire Dan Quinn by Week 7.

19. Denver Broncos

The Broncos are building something on offense. If the line holds up and Drew Lock can take the next step, look out. If not, look out. This team could be bad, too.

18. Minnesota Vikings

This is another team that could rise very quickly. Their pass rush should be fierce with the addition of Yannick Ngakoue, and they do nice things on offense. That defensive backfield terrifies me, however, as does the depth of their receiving crew.

17. Houston Texans

For all the crazy trades and decisions by this franchise, they continue to compete. I put a lot of that on Deshaun Watson and J.J. Watt. Those two are still around, but I’m not thrilled by what they have around them. They will cause headaches, however.
