Summary
Host Ian Hartitz welcomes on Detroit News reporter Justin Rogers in part three of the PFF Fantasy Football Podcast 32 for 32 series. Defense at all three levels should be a priority for the Lions this offseason, but especially the front-seven. Wide receiver will also be a focus with both Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones set to test free agency; don’t be surprised if they end up elsewhere. Justin is confident that Jared Goff will be the starting QB in 2021 *and* 2022. The potential departure of the team’s top-two receivers could lead to enhanced roles for D’Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson; just realize this team figures to still use a committee of sorts in the backfield. The guys wrap things up with a look at how long coach Dan Campbell’s leash is, and what the Lions might do with the No. 7 overall pick.
