GOOD:

QB- Stafford throws for 5k and 30+ Td's
RB- MJD returns to a top 5 back along with CJ2K
WR- with a new qb Bowe plays like a baller

BAD:

QB- Brady is not top 5 in pts among qbs
RB- Richardson finishes outside the top 10
WR- Cruz stays hurt and plays 50% of the games
TE- Gronk doesnt play until after week 8


Crazy:

QB- Griffin is replaced by cousins as the starter
RB- Mendenhall is the leading rusher in the NFC west

Good

QB: Stafford ascends into the top 3 in points at QB. Throwing for nearly 5k yards and 40 TDS like in 2011

RB: Steven Jackson, despite an average OL, is a top 5 RB at years end. The ATL passing game opens lanes for him, & he is a TD vulture scoring 13-15 TDs. Also catches 50 balls

WR: Torrey Smith is welcomed into the top 10 WR grouping. With limited options to throw to, Smith becomes more than just Flacco's depth threat. THe man goes for 85/1350/11TDs

TE: Jared Cook, who is a popular sleeper this year, puts up a top 5 TE season. Bradford will look early and ofter to Cook, both between the 20's and in the redzone. He's great after the catch as well. Let's say 70/875/8TDs


BAD

QB Tom Brady who has been able to make any WR corps great, struggles to do so with this one. Amendola & Gronk with possible injuries, along with a few rookies make it hard for him to remain in that top 3-4 QBS. However he doesn't finish that far behind.

RB Demarco Murray, DMac, Forte- Oh, you picked them and they got hurt? Cry a little more! No one saw that coming (yawn)

WR: Reggie Wayne - ive seen a lot of people taking him as a WR1 after his huge year last year, but im not sure he can repeat that. I still like the guy, but DHB(yes, him) will cut into some of his catches, as well as Cody Fleener in his 2nd year. He may catch 75-80 balls instead of the 106 he had last year.

TE: Kyle Rudolph - i love his size and all, but he was only relevant last year because he caught TDs. Everyone knows that TDs are year to year, very hard to replicate. His yards and catches were poor, mainly because of shitty QB play. And well, they have the same QB. So i expect similar yards, with maybe half the TDs. People have been taking him as a TE1.


Crazy:

QB: Ryan Fitzpatrick takes the reigns from Locker early in the season, and becomes relevant to teams looking for QB help. WIth a nice stable to WR and running game, Fitz flourishes as a week to week starter.

RB: Jonathan Dwyer is a borderline RB1/2. Every time ive watched him dating back a few years, he's always looked impressive. Big and nimble. And he's not a bad pass catcher. I think by the time Bell comes back, he will have taken that job and ran with it.

WR: Julian Edelman has always shown flashes when he has been given a chance. With all the injuries and new WRs in New England, he is one of the lone hold overs that has chemistry with Brady. I think if he stays healthy, you're looking at a 70-80 catch season. And if Amendola were to go down, look out.

TE: Daniel Fells- ill go back to the NE passing game. This guy has always impressed me when Ive seen him. ANd i know people are falling in love with this Sudfield guy, but this is crazy predictions, right? Daniel Fells will be the Aaron Hernandez to Gronk's Gronk. look for him to grab 50-60 balls!!

GOOD. Matt Forte - 1800 total yards 14 TDS.

BAD. Vincent Jackson - lucky to get 700 yds. 4 TDS.

CRAZY. Anyone who had Peterson penciled in for over 1400 yds. To me, he's more of burden/obligation as the#1 overall pick. Anyone with cajones would pass on AP and select Calvin.

good:
kaepernick is a total bust this year both professionally and fantasy wise

MJD will produce RB1 numbers

Arian Foster does not play in all 16 games

bad:
Cam Newton will not only be a top 3 fantasy qb, but a top 3 qb period.

Wes Welker will be a FA bust

RG3 experiences a big time sophmore slump

bat shite crazy:
adrian peterson will only score 10 TDs +/- 1

drew brees will throw for 51 TDs and break his single season yardage record

Justin Blackmon becomes a WR1/2 when he comes back from suspension

Eddie Lacy will rush for 1300 yards and 12 TDs

Carson Palmer will throw for 4000 yards and 25+ TDs

Matt Ryan will contract the HIV virus

Jake Locker becomes a fantasy qb stud

I heard on the radio Dwyer was up to 265 this offseason and that Redman will end up being the starter. From the Steelers beat writer

Good

RG3 stays healthy, puts up MVP numbers and finishes as the top scorer. 4000 yds 30-35 TDs less then 7 INTs 800 yds 7-10 TDS

CJ Spiller finishes tops in yds and finshes among the top 2 RBs. 1700 yds 8 Tds 600 yds 3 TDs

SJax has the most rushing TDs in the league. 1100 yds 16 TDs 400 yds 2 TDs.

Dez Bryant dethrones Megatron. 1700 yds 15 TDs

Jordan Cameron has a top 5 TE year. 900 yds 10 TDs



Bad

Russell Wilson struggles out of the gate with ints. Still has a good year but finishes outside of the top 10.

Trent Richardson gets injured early, one of those leg injuries resurfaces and he finishes outside the top 10. 800yds 7 TDs 300 yds 2 TDs

Julio remains 2nd fiddle to Roddy and SJax eats up TDs. He'll have a great year, but his ADP will be much higher than his production. 1200 yds 5 TDs.

Gronks injury woes continue and he misses more than half the season. Will be a 2nd half stud, but still.


Crazy

Brandon Weeden becomes Tony Romo, not a fantasy stud, but a defiantly an acceptable starter. 4300 yds 28+ TDs 14 ints.

Joesph Randle finishes above 1000 yds and 8+ TDs. Murray will get hurt and Randle becomes a steady 75-100 yd rusher.

Quinton Patton becomes the 2nd top receiver in the NFCw (behind Fitz). He's an extremely hard worker and showed a good relationship with Kap. 1300 yds 9 TDs.

Kenbrell Thompkins will win a ton of fantasy leagues for some lucky owners. 100+ catches 1400 yds 8 TDs.

I have no crazy TE predictions.

If you watched any preseason at all you know that's horse shite. Dwyers 240 at the max and has looked like hands down the best RB on roster.

i don't think there is anyway he is 260

he's looked good to me, esp vs WASH in the 2nd preseason game

But they always fall back to Redman. Who knows

He said he was 265 this offseason. Not right now.

I'm just telling you what the beat writer said

Good:

Stafford throws 40 TD's and goes over 5,000 yds. Top 3 fantasy QB

CJ2K lives up to his name and returns back to his 09-10 form.

Roddy will have more points than Julio this year

Bad:

Kap won't be in the Top 10 of QBs this year

Lynch won't reach 1,000 yds this year

No TE ranked in the top 5 (outside of Graham) will live up to their ADP

Crazy:

Ray Rice will be the highest scoring RB in fantasy

Emmanuel Sanders will have more pts than Antonio Brown and be a solid WR2.

Mark Ingram will have 10 TDs this year.

GOOD:

QB- Joe Flacco and Andy Dalton both finish the season with more fantasy points than Colin Kaepernick

RB- Steven Jackson finishes the season with career numbers in TDs going from the team who threw more than any other inside the ten to the team who ran more than any other inside the ten

WR- Julio Jones benefits from another year of decreased targets to Roddy White and is a top three fantasy WR and emerges as a top three WR for 2014.

TE- Jimmy Graham is too easy...Jordan Cameron will catch 9 TDs, lead the Browns and be a top tier TE next year

BAD:

QB- Stafford will lead the league in INTs

RB- Shady McCoy totals 5 TDs with the ball being spread out alot more in Philly under Kelly and looks up to backs like Sproles, Gio and Vereen who will all have more TDs.

WR- Dwayne Bowe loses almost all his fantasy value after relying on Alex Smith who can't even see 15 yards downfield.

TE- Gronk will be a shell of him former self for more than half the season after taking 6 weeks off with total inactivity. When he returns, he is good, but too little, too late.


Crazy:

QB- Vick shines in Kelly's new offense that was built for a player like himself thrusting himself into the top 5 fantasy QBs

RB- CJ2K part II....not Chric Johnson, but the real CJ.....Spiller that is. 2000 all purpose yards, 12 rushing TDs and 4 recieving

WR- Alshon Jeffrey has a monster year feeding off of double teams to Marshall reeling in 70 catches, 900 yards and 9 TDs

I don't think people are "down" on him.

He just has those nagging injuries and Ryan has been trusting Roddy for years.
