Kenny Golladay may be the prototypical "No. 1" guy in this offense. Golladay is a big-bodied kid who can go up and get it at the catch point. The Lions line up Golladay inside and outside and try to find favorable matchups with him down the seam and outside the numbers. A former third-round pick out of Northern Illinois (where he was incredibly productive), Golladay is a high-effort player and someone who has to be accounted for as Stafford has a lot of trust in him.

I've always been a big fan of Marvin Jones. A crafty route runner who excels at creating his own separation, Jones is a very reliable possession threat who can win at all three levels of the field for Stafford and that coaching staff. Like Golladay, he'll line up both inside and outside for the Lions, and is a very consistent move-the-chains type of player for that team.

The Lions went out and got a former New England Patriot in receiver Danny Amendola this offseason, as he replaces Golden Tate in the slot. One thing Detroit loves to do with Amendola is keep him in tight to the quarterback on condensed formations and then sprint him toward the sideline on quick out routes, giving him tons of green grass to run into. A savvy route runner who can still be very effective at the catch point, Amendola is a strong complementary weapon for the Lions' offense. He's someone that they'll still work down the seam as well.

The Lions have a new offensive coordinator this year in Darrell Bevell, a veteran coach in the league who is known most recently for being at the head of the Seattle Seahawks' offenses during the "Legion of Boom" days. Bevell's recent history points to him being a run-first coach who wants to establish the rushing attack but attacks defenses in a variety of ways from multiple personnel groupings. With that in mind, the team went out and completely reshaped the tight end room by signing Jesse James away from the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency and then spending a top-10 draft choice on T.J. Hockenson out of Iowa.
