8. Detroit Lions

Somehow, the Detroit Lions’ passing attack is back and Matthew Stafford is still gone. It’s been the resurgent Jared Goff to take the Lions’ passing game over the hump, finishing right here at No. 8 overall in 2022.

Goff put up an impressive season, especially considering he didn’t have a true, alpha wide receiver to depend on outside. It was a lot of Amon-Ra St. Brown, of course, with a whole lot mixed in from other guys. To start the 2023 season, it’s going to be more of the same as second-year-pro Jameson Williams is set to serve a six-week suspension.

Once Williams is back, it will be interesting to see if he can jump right back in and finally consistently contribute after missing most of his rookie season due to recovering from an ACL tear.

Goff will also have Josh Reynolds back, along with Marvin Jones’ second stint in Detroit. The shifty Kalif Raymond is still there, and the Lions also have some running backs who can catch the football in rookie Jahmyr Gibbs and veteran David Montgomery.

The Lions are a safe bet to finish inside the top 10 once more in 2023.
