If all three return, we would start Moore and Egbuka, while viewing McConkey as a low-end WR3. There's less promise at the running back position. It is possible we get Breece Hall and Kyle Monangai back, but that would just create a committee when we already have a workhorse. Most likely, we would have Hall ranked as a low-end RB2 and Braelon Allen as a high-end flex, but Allen has been so good he may hold onto a lot of the early down work. In Chicago, Swift would fall significantly if Monangai returns, partially because of the competition, but also because of the Seahawks' incredible defense.
