Larry Fitzgerald, Jason Witten top 11 NFL players approaching milestones

The end of the season means some players can achieve seasonal and career milestones. Here’s a look at some of those who are nearing plateaus.

Jameis Winston

Tim Fuller-USA TODAY Sports

Jameis Winston needs 427 passing yards to reach 5,000 for the 2019 season. It won’t be easy with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, his 1-2 receiving punch sidelined.

Matt Ryan

 Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Matt Ryan needs 231 yards in the Falcons’ final two games to reach the 4,000-yard mark for the ninth straight season.

Austin Ekeler

Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports

If Austin Ekeler can achieve 108 receiving yards in his next two games, the Chargers’ RB would have 1,000 receiving and better than 500 rushing.

Christian McCaffrey

Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports

Christian McCaffrey is on the verge of a double 1,000-yard season. He will be tested to reach the 1K number in receiving yards as he needs 176 over the final two weeks of the season. That said, the Panthers aren’t playing for much else. So, throw the ball to No. 22.

Andy Lee

Andy Lee has thunder in his leg. You have to if you are a punter who is about to go over the 60,000-yard mark for your career.

Kirk Cousins

Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports

Kirk Cousins should top the 24,000-yard mark early Monday against the Packers. He needs only 15 yards to hit the plateau.

Drew Brees

Drew Brees is a passing machine. Another 116 yards and he will top the 77,000-yard mark for his career.

Mark Ingram

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

Mark Ingram continues to make the most of his new home in Baltimore. The RB on one of the most dynamic offenses in the league has two goals: 30 yards for 7,000 in his career and 37 for 1,000 in 2019.

Jason Witten

61 yards for 13,000
