Tier 1 — Virtual Roster Locks
Players: Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson
We threw the word ‘virtual’ in this tier title because of the risk of injury that both of these players pose — Guice with his history and Peterson with his age. However, outside of a potential ailment that would keep them from the field, there is hardly a world where either of these players isn’t a main component in the Redskins offense in 2020.
For Guice, in the moments where he actually was on the field and playing in 2019, he was electric and proved that he could be a potential game-changer for Washington in the years to come. Unfortunately, in his two years in the NFL, the LSU product has played in just five total games and undergone two knee surgeries. Peterson, on the other hand, is nothing short of a physical anomaly at this point in his career. At age 35, AP is still chugging along and dragging defenders behind him. We go into every season questioning whether or not it will be his last, and he in turn picks up right where he left off and gives a hefty stiff-arm to Father Time. I expect nothing less in 2020.
