The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in my opinion should consider aggressively targeting GOP races that could go their way. They contested KS-03 and OK-05, in red Oklahoma in 2018.

Can House Democrats expand their majority in 2020?

My take:

AK-AL
AR-02
AZ-06
CA-22
CA-23 (Kevin McCarthy)
CA-50
CO-03
IA-04 (Steve King)
KS-02
MO-02
KY-06

Any others you can think of?

GA-07
IL-13
IA-04 (with King)
NE-02
NY-24
NY-27
PA-1
TX-23
TX-24
TX-31

Anything else is throwing money right into the fire

GA-07, TX-23, and PA-01 are no-brainers. After that, I think the following seats are realistic pick-up targets (roughly in the order they can be flipped):

TX-24
NE-02
NY-24
TX-22
TX-21
TX-10
MO-02
TX-31
IL-13
NY-02
WA-03
NY-01

Democrats have fewer offensive targets than in 2018, but they are not completely devoid of opportunities to expand the map.

This, but replace IA-04 and NY-27 with PA-10, TX-10, and TX-21.

Depends. If the presidential race is remotely close, then anything other than GA-07/TX-23/PA-01/NE-02 and maybe a few of those random unexpectedly close TX districts will be a waste of time and money. If it's looking like a blowout then the playing field could expand significantly.
