Page 17 - 2019 Season Preview

QUARTERBACKS DLF Get off My Ditka snuck into the playoffs in 2018, but were quickly
Baker Mayfield 3 bounced in the semi-finals. Eight months later and things are looking
Dak Prescott 9 interesting for the perennial powerhouse.
Philip Rivers 22
Andrew Luck 38
Tyrod Taylor 45 QUARTERBACK
RUNNING BACKS DLF
Miles Sanders 17 Andrew Luck has retired. In a move no one saw coming, Andrew Luck called in a
Derrius Guice 18 career only weeks before the start of the season giving Get off My Ditka no chance
Aaron Jones 22 to plan for a year without the star QB. Not all is lost however, as Baker Mayfield’s
Chris Carson 27 weaponry improved immensely with the addition of Odell Beckham Jr. Dak
Matt Breida 41
Kalen Ballage 56 Prescott’s situation also improved midway through the 2018 season with the
Dexter Williams 64 arrival of Amari Cooper. Although Andrew Luck leaves a giant hole in the team’s
Jamaal Williams 70 roster, Get off My Ditka has enough depth to overcome the sudden loss.
Jordan Wilkins 86
RECEIVERS DLF RUNNING BACK
JuJu Smith-Schuster 2
Kenny Golladay 16 After drafting Miles Sanders in the first round of the rookie draft, the franchise
Chris Godwin 17 acquired Derrius Guice in a trade. Coming back from an injury that shut him down
T.Y. Hilton 21
Tyler Lockett 26 for the 2018 season, Guice looked impressive in his limited pre-season action.
A.J. Brown 34 With Sanders and Guice headlining the running back group, Get off My Ditka has
Alshon Jeffery 37 plenty of backs in the rotation for the third starting job.
JJ Arcega-Whiteside 42
Michael Gallup 52 WIDE RECEIVER
Preston Williams 78
Zay Jones 84 The acquisition of JuJu Smith-Schuster in 2018 gave the franchise’s receiving core
John Ross 86
Josh Doctson 101 the shot in the arm in needed. The loss of Andrew Luck dampens the outlook of
TIGHT ENDS DLF TY Hilton to a degree, but this could be more than offset by predicted emergence
Zach Ertz 3 of Chris Godwin and continued breakout of Tyler Lockett.
David Njoku 8
Jimmy Graham 23 TIGHT END
Darren Waller 27
Tyler Eifert 30 Tight End is far from a weak spot for Get off My Ditka. Zach Ertz leads a deep
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN DLF position group that includes an athletic and promising youngster in David Njoku
Aaron Donald 3 as well as two veterans who have touchdown upside every week in Jimmy
Frank Clark 9 Graham and Tyler Eifert who’s healthy for the first time in years.
Derek Barnett 16
Everson Griffen 39 DEFENSIVE LINE
Mario Addison 65

LINEBACKERS DLF Aaron Donald is an absolute beast and tops the team’s depth chart. Frank Clark
Luke Kuechly 3 adds an intriguing element to the lineup as he gets a fresh start in Kansas City
Anthony Barr 44 where he’s expected to see more consistent playing time.
Telvin Smith 48
Vontaze Burfict 53
Raekwon McMillan 55 LINEBACKER
Germaine Pratt 56
Patrick Onwuasor 58 A once great unit has been reduced to Luke Kuechly and not much else. The
Bobby Okereke 62 retirement/year off by Telvin Smith was unexpected and leaves a gaping hole
Brandon Marshall 65 that will be tough to fill.
Vince Williams 84
Duke Riley 90
DEFENSIVE BACK
DEFENSIVE BACKS DLF

Harrison Smith 5 Harrison Smith has been the most consistent DBs over the last handful of years.
Eric Reid 17 Barring injury he should continue to provide steady production.
Juan Thornhill 22
Lamarcus Joyner 51
