NFC East - Where do the Cowboys stand with Zeke Elliott / Dak Prescott situations? Can Carson Wentz stay healthy, as the backup QB situation for the Philadelphia Eagles is a mess. The New York Giants lost several key pieces in Landon Collins, Odell Beckham Jr. Olivier Vernon, can Danial Jones and Saquon Barkley carry the team? Washington's quarterback room is a mess and a half, but Adrian Peterson is in the best shape of his life.

NFC West - Arizona Cardinals got their guy in Kylar Murray, what kind of magic can they produce? The Los Angeles Rams rotated some players, losing Lamarcus Joyner & Ndamukong Suh, and adding Eric Weddle & Clay Matthews, is it enough to keep pace? The Seattle Seahawks lose Frank Clark, but gain Ziggy Ansah, and add DK Metcalf, are they a division contender? Will the San Francisco 49ers stay healthy enough, and get a big enough boost with Dee Ford to fight in a tough NFC West?

NFC South - Can the Atlanta Falcons stay health and return to superbowl contender form? Are the Carolina Panthers better on the offensive line without the Kalil brothers?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new coach, Ndamukong Suh, and some fresh young talent. How close are they to being competitive again?

NFC North - The Chicago Bears defense is unlikely to see the same success as 2018, can it do enough to maintain their division title?
