RB Overview
Role Security: Medium
6/19/25: Breece Hall is expected to remain the lead running back, but new head coach Aaron Glenn has publicly stated his intent to involve a three-man backfield. Despite that, Hall should dominate touches in all game situations. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis split backup duties late last season-one could emerge as the true No. 2, but a shared role remains likely.
WR Overview
6/19/25: Garrett Wilson remains the No. 1 wide receiver after averaging 8.5 targets per game in 2024-despite playing alongside Davante Adams, who is now with the Rams. Behind Wilson, the pecking order is wide open: Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, Tyler Johnson, and rookie Malachi Corley are all in the mix for WR2 and WR3 roles.
TE Overview
6/19/25: Rookie tight end Mason Taylor, drafted in Round 2, is expected to start immediately. With uncertainty at wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson, Taylor has a strong chance to finish second on the team in targets.
