6. Ben Roethlisberger to win MVP (+4191)

After missing nearly all of 2019 due to season-ending elbow surgery, Ben Roethlisberger comes into 2020 with one thing in mind: redemption. The Pittsburgh offense is loaded with talent at all positions.

The offensive line is among the very best in the league and their skill positions are incredibly deep. After both having disappointing seasons, James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster will look to rebound and get back to their 2018 forms. The receivers room gets even deeper this season as second-round pick Chase Claypool will join Diontae Johnson — who led all rookies in receptions and was an All-Pro as a returner — and James Washington — who showed great progress throughout 2019.

Eric Ebron was also brought in at tight end to go with Vance McDonald. An underrated addition was Matt Canada, who was brought in from the University of Minnesota to modernize the offense. I love Pittsburgh this season and fully expect a huge year from Big Ben.

5. Kenny Golladay to lead NFL in receiving yards (+1716)

Kenny Golladay had over 1,000 yards last season and averaged over 18 yards per reception while catching passes from the likes of Jeff Driskel and David Blough for half of the year. Matthew Stafford was playing some of the best football of his career before being sidelined with injury for the remainder of the season in November.

With Stafford back and Marvin Jones Jr., along with Kerryon Johnson and newly drafted D’Andre Swift in the backfield, to compliment him, Golladay and the Lions offense could be very explosive.
