Several NFL teams are relying on key players to potentially transform their fortunes in the 2024 season. The Las Vegas Raiders, under new head coach Antonio Pierce, have made significant acquisitions, including Gardner Minshew and Christian Wilkins, and are banking on a breakout season from Malcolm Koonce to bolster their defense. The Jacksonville Jaguars, led by Trevor Lawrence and bolstered by new contracts for key players, have high hopes for emerging defensive lineman Travon Walker. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos, with Sean Payton at the helm, are looking to wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. to be the X-factor in their playoff quest. The Los Angeles Chargers, consistently close to greatness, hope that Joshua Palmer can elevate their receiving corps and help quarterback Justin Herbert reach new heights. Lastly, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, a perennial DPOY candidate, enters 2024 as the favorite for the award, highlighting the competitive nature of the league's top defenders.
