Ryan Switzer/Eli Rogers

I grouped these receivers together for two reasons: they both play the slot, and neither are locks to make the team in 2019. However, at least one of these receivers will be here next year. Switzer and Rogers are both ‘slot only’ receivers with punt return ability. I would use them as such.

Though either one would probably be used sparingly on offense (3-5 wide receiver sets), they are both twitchy players who run solid short to intermediate routes. I would have Switzer, Rogers, and Diontae Johnson battle it out for return duties.
