per Phil:
2. Rashod Bateman, WR, Minnesota
Another guy who opted back in. Bateman himself dealt with COVID during the summer, but the projected 1st-round pick is good to go. His star will shine even brighter without his best buddy Tyler Johnson attracting double teams. Bateman’s fast and sure-handed enough to have another remarkable year even as Numero Uno — he’s wearing jersey No. 0 this year, but that’s a different story — in Fleck’s offense.
7. Tanner Morgan, QB, Minnesota
Can you guess which B1G quarterback had the most yards per attempt in 2019? Justin Fields? Guess again. Clifford? Nope. Morgan averaged over 10 yards every time he dropped back to pass. Think about that. His 178.70 passer rating ranked fourth nationally behind Joe Burrow, Fields and Jalen Hurts.
15. Blaise Andres, LG, Minnesota
He’s the top performer on a big offensive line that got nastier as the 2019 season progressed. The Gophers’ rise is due in large part to an effective zone run game. On highlights from Minnesota’s stable of running backs last season, it’s not uncommon for one of them to find a cutback lane right on Andres’ side of center.

Ranking the B1G's top 20 offensive players in 2020
We ranked the top 20 offensive players who, as of publishing time, are slated to give it a go in possibly the wackiest B1G season ever witnessed.
