A list of bold predictions from fantasypros.com
Posted on 8/29/14 at 4:15 pm

quote:
"DeMarco Murray plays all sixteen games for the first time in his career, flourishing behind one of the league’s best offensive lines and reaping the rewards of Scott Linehan’s offense by catching 60 passes. At the season’s end, Murray stands as the leader in total fantasy points among running backs and heads into the 2015 fantasy football season as a consensus top-four pick.”
quote:
“Pierre Thomas will catch 90 passes. Thomas caught 77 passes last season, so is this really a “bold prediction?” I think so, because no running back has reached the 90-catch threshhold since Brian Westbrook in 2007. Thomas’ total from last season was accompanied by Darren Sproles’ 71 receptions, and with Sproles off to Philadelphia, look for Thomas to gobble up even more Drew Brees passes. One hundred catches are within reach for Thomas, who should be PPR gold.”
quote:
“Golden Tate will be a WR1 in 2014. Tate finished last season as WR30 in standard leagues and is currently being drafted around WR34, so he’s got a little ground to make up to break into the Top 12 and become a WR1. How does that happen? For starters, he’ll go from a Seahawks offense that only threw the ball 420 times last season to a Lions offense that threw the ball 634 times last season (that’s a lot of receptions to go around). Furthermore, Tate should have plenty of single coverage as Calvin Johnson draws all ten of the opposing team’s defenders and he did lead the league in vertical air yards per target last season. Is WR1 a stretch for Tate? Absolutely. But hey, we’re here for bold predictions, right?”
quote:
“Ahmad Bradshaw stays healthy (bold) and Trent Richardson disappoints (not bold). The 28-year-old Bradshaw finishes the season in the top 20.”
quote:
“While Andre Ellington and C.J. Spiller might be more dynamic runners, it’s Toby Gerhart who will make a surprise appearance among the top-5 fantasy running backs in 2014. Jacksonville isn’t going to compete for a division title, but they should be more competitive this season on both sides of the ball. That means a healthy dose of Gerhart, who could push for over 300 touches as a three-down back. After serving as Adrian Peterson’s understudy for four years in Minnesota, Gerhart will deliver 1,400 total yards and 12 touchdowns in his first season as a starter with the Jaguars.”
quote:
“Jay Cutler will finish as a top 4 QB this year. As many have pointed to, if you combine Cutler and McCown’s fantasy point last year, it would have given you the 3rd ranked fantasy QB in the league. Now granted, Aaron Rodgers was out for a good portion of last year, which is why I went with top 4 for this year. Cutler not only has a great system in place, but also may have the best overall group to throw the ball to if you include Matt Forte. Alshon Jeffrey really came on last year as well, so his emergence along with Cutler being more familiar with the Trestman system makes me believe he can finish in the top 4 in fantasy this year.”

I've been on the Gerhart train. I knew I should've picked the guy last night, but with PPR format I felt like Bush might be a slightly safer pick. I regret that decision, and hope I ended up making the right call. I do think Gerhart rushes for 1k though.

gerhart deffinitly gets 1k
even if it takes 400 carries to get there

i dont believe that at all. he hasnt even looked that great during preseason. rushed 6 times for 19 yards, then rushed 10 times for 32 yards with a long of 7.
i just dont see it.

Is Thomas a start if you're flex is Maclin? My starting RB's are foster and morris
Posted on 8/29/14 at 4:38 pm to BlacknGold
who else is taking the carries for Jax?
1k isnt that impressive of a feat for a workhorse veteran.

i think you have to see what maclin does. again, keep in mind these are BOLD predictions
Posted on 8/29/14 at 4:39 pm to BlacknGold
Yeah but even 77 catches he's a flex play in PPR
Posted on 8/29/14 at 4:41 pm to wildtigercat93
not every starting RB gets 1k. he also came out on a couple of 3rd down plays. im not saying its impossible for the guy. i just wouldnt put my money on it. with henne being named the starter, gotta believe defenses will just stack the box.
eta: but if you believe he gets 300+ carries, yeah its possible. but not even AP had 300 carries last year.

Why do people keep citing this instead of just prorating Cutler's stats??? Why do they give Cutler the benefit of McCown outplaying him?
Cutler played 10 games. In those games he had 16 TD's with 11 interceptions (and another INT in the game hue was hurt). So Cutler averaged a 30 TD 17.5 INT season.
Not top 3 points and not anything to write home about. He has had 8 seasons to prove himself. Is he going to all of the sudden stop turning the ball over and play like McCown did?

Exactly
He has 1 4k season under his belt and hasnt eclipsed 30 TDs yet in his career. I just cannot pencil the dude in for those numbers based off 11 games last year.

Pierre Thomas Wong catch 100 balls. Or 90. I'd almost bet it. I don't think he even gets 77 again

It's guys throwing shite against the wall, if he's wrong it'll never be mentioned if it's right he'll use it to sell subscriptions next season
