With uncertainty surrounding David Wilson, it is Rashad Jennings’ job to lose. However, Jennings has never started a full season. Asking him to do so would be an extremely tall order.

Kelvin Benjamin seems to be the guy by default. With a receiving corps that is dependent on Jerricho Cotchery and Jason Avant to produce, fantasy players may want to stay away from playmakers on this team.

While Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory will both see carries throughout the season, one of these guys needs to separate themselves to make it worth it for fantasy players to put a Jets running back in their starting lineup.

At 31 years old, Gore is an enigma of a running back. He continues to produce 1,000 yards and close to 10 touchdowns each season. Heading into 2014, there is no evidence of him slowing down.

Assuming Gordon is suspended for the entire season, somebody needs to step up for Cleveland. It is tough to think Miles Austin will be much of a contribution, so look for Jordan Cameron to become an even bigger stud than he already is.

He had arguably his best professional season in 2013. While he will continue to not turn the ball over, it is hard to imagine Smith will be as good of a fantasy quarterback in 2014.

With the acquisition of DeSean Jackson, RGIII has great options. Pierre Garcon is a good bet to answer this question, but don't count out Jackson and Jordan Reed.

Even with the loss of DeSean Jackson, Foles has a ton of options. Look for either Jeremy Maclin or Zach Ertz to become the quarterback’s favorite target.
