This could easily be the number one group to deal with in 2020. Although DeAndre Hopkins is a star receiver, we need to see how he works with his new quarterback Kyler Murray.

Many people have forgotten what Fitz still brings to the game. He may be entering his 17th season but the dude can still flat out catch the ball. He showed last season he still has what it takes to win.

Kirk caught 68 passes for 708-yards last season. It was a nice improvement over his rookie season, cut short by injury. If he continues to progression, he could be a 1000-yard receiver.

It’s going to be interesting to see the Hopkins and Fitz dynamic on the field in 2020. They could end up with three 1,000-yard receivers if pieces fall correctly. They could end up being the best in not only the NFC but the entire NFL. For now, until proven on the field, we’ll call them the second-best core in the NFC.
