re: TDFL Droppings Post Draft Analysis

Arizona Cardinals: I say John Brown, currently being drafted as WR39 (11th round) finishes with more than 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns. My thinking: The speedy breakout star of training camp in 2014, Brown somehow managed almost 700 yards with people like Ryan Lindley throwing to him last season. A full season with Carson Palmer and a Bruce Arians offense that throws deep more than any team in the NFL? Sign me up.

Chicago Bears: I say Eddie Royal sets career highs in receptions, which is currently 91. My thinking: Jay Cutler is going to have to throw it to someone. He and Royal have a rapport from their Denver days, I don't think the Bears' defense will be any good and the receiving corps is all sorts of banged up ... and thin. Royal is one of my favorite sleepers this year.

Indianapolis Colts: I say Andre Johnson, currently going 21st among wide receivers, sets career highs this season in touchdowns (currently nine), receptions (currently 115) and has more than 1,200 yards receiving. My thinking: Getting more than 100 targets from Andrew Luck on a high-scoring, high-volume passing offense, Johnson might as well have found the actual Fountain of Youth.

New England Patriots: I say Tom Brady, on a points-per-game basis, is the best QB in fantasy this season. My thinking: Even though a judge nullified Brady's 4-game suspension, the NFL's appeal means we still don't know for sure if he plays 16 games or 12, but I do know this: As long as Brady's on the field, he and the Patriots will be in total and complete "blank you" mode. He also returns almost all of his offensive starters, including a 100 percent healthy Rob Gronkowski, a rarity for him.
