re: 2014 Fantasy Football Bold Prediction Thread

He has a big thing.

Good:

QB - Matt Ryan returns back to top six QB status. The retirement of Gonzo means nothing as Roddy and Julio are arguably the top duo in the league.

RB - Rashad Jennings sneaks as an RB1. The Giants will be shite, but their play calling demands a quick offense to get the ball out of Eli's hands and raise his completion percentage. Jennings may only be an average rusher this year, but he eats up 60+ catches in a 1,300+ total yard season.

Breaking the rules here and adding a second guy. Montee Ball finishes as a top three. Peyton Manning made Joseph Addai a first round fantasy pick.

WR - Like Toula, Wallace returns to Pittsburgh form. With Bill Lazor down in Miami, the Dolphins turn into Chip Kelly South (Beach) where Wallace is this year's DJax. I missed on him in TDFL, but I roster him in another league, so that is nice.

TE - I hate almost every tight end, so Jimmy Graham is better than last year. He stays healthy the whole through and blows away the field. No surprises here.

Bad:

QB - Nick Foles is human. He becomes only borderline startable and finishes outside the top 10 QB's while throwing 15+ interceptions.

RB - Second year feature running backs with low YPC's struggle with Bell and Stacy finishing outside of their RB1 status. Unless they get all the carries and goal line work, then they are nothing more than WR2.

WR - Josh Gordon does not repeat the same number if (and hopefully when) he is reinstated. I think he puts up 15-17 PPG in PPR when activated, which would land him in the top 10 again per game. However, I think last season's 22.45 PPG is too much to match.

TE - Anyone who did not draft the top three tight end finds themselves at least 50 points behind TE3 Gronk and 150 behind Jimmy Graham. The real loser is the Vernon Davis owner when they find Davis only scores between 5-7 TD's compared to last year's 13.

Crazy:

QB - Tannehill becomes a top eight QB and basically is a must start. I believe in Bill Lazor obviously. No offense improves more than Miami from last year from a fantasy perspective.

RB - Doug Martin loses the job in Tampa and Mike James runs away with it. Martin becomes completely droppable in all formats and his 2012 season fades into obscurity.

WR - With no serious ground threat or tight end, Matt Ryan looks for receivers all day. Three Atlanta Falcons finish in the top 20 (Julio, Roddy, and Hester) with longtime return specialist making a real fantasy impact.

Also, the NFC North dominates the WR1 list as six of the top 12 receivers are from the same division. Calvin, Jordy, Cobb, Alshon, Marshall, and one of Patterson or Tate.

TE - Ladarius Green barely ever sees the ball and falls out the top 20 tight ends. Gates will be fantasy relevant until he retires.
