2. Lions: Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, Golden Tate, T.J. Jones, Dontez Ford

The Chicago Bears actually can compete with the Lions room in terms of depth. After T.J. Jones, Ford is a UDFA who was cut last season. Needless to say, if he is one of their best options, they do not have great options right now.

Jones is a reliable depth player who can line up in the slot and help on special teams. However, his value likely is not much greater than Josh Bellamy.

The Lions top three receivers are what puts them into the top two discussions. We all know Marvin Jones and Golden Tate. They are a great duo together. Tate usually burns up yards on the ground, Jones picking up huge gains in the air. The two both finished as top 20 receivers in fantasy football last year.

However, the straw that stirs the drink is Kenny Golladay. Golladay is a prime athlete who spent his high school and college days playing through awful QB play. He rose into the lineup as a rookie and while injuries affected his year, he made nice headway for a big year two.

Now, fans are excited for Golladay. Reports are that he could take over the room and make it his own. Time will tell, but the hype is real on Golladay and he rounds out what is the best top 3 in the division.
