One of the biggest concerns in Washington comes on the offensive side of the ball, where there is a major lack of talent and depth at the wide receiver position.
Terry McLaurin led the way in 2019 as the only player who was worth talking about at WR, and going into the 2020 season, it seems that he will have to do the same, at least to start.
That question of who will join McLaurin at the top has been common among fans all offseason, but the team has done little to improve the situation, as far as major moves go. They drafted Antonio Gandy-Golden and signed both Cody Latimer and Dontrelle Inman in free agency, but those were the only additions. On Thursday, Washington’s new wide receiver coach had complete honesty when talking to the media when he admitted that even he has no idea which player will fill the WR2 role next to McLaurin.
Gotta credit Jim Hostler for his honesty – he says Terry McLaurin has proven himself but after that he has "no idea" what he's got in the other WRs

There are several candidates, with the aforementioned Gandy-Golden having high hopes from fans, and Inman seemingly the most suited to fill that veteran role, however, it seems that Steven Sims Jr. will have the best chance. He was easily the second most impressive WR in Washington last season, and many believe that he will thrive in Scott Turner’s offense.
There will be a lot of competition in camp though, and all eyes will be on the WR position.
