Assumptions:

Takes must be on the boundary line of outlandish and possible. No obvious calls; we know Kelce is going to crush the TE position.

Doesn’t need to be fantasy scoring related. Total receptions, TDs, whatever.

Mine:
Gibbs finishes as a top 3 RB

Garrett Wilson leads the NFL in TD receptions and finishes as a top 3 WR

Daniel Jones and his Giants win a playoff game this year

Juwann Johnson and Sam LaPorta both finish top 10 amongst TEs and LaPorta is top 5.

I’d flip these 2. Juwan finishes top 5.

Javonte finishes top 15 coming off of his injury.

I'd love both of these. I have more Gibbs stock than I wanted.

Also, for TigerLunatik I would love that for LaPorta, lots of stock there, but mostly best ball. Rookie TEs are scary.

I don't have a lot of "hot takes", but I think Keenan Allen rebounds in a big way this year and finishes top 12 WR - maybe for the last time.

I also think Nuk Hopkins to Tenn will help Okonkwo out this season, but that's still a 2nd year TE.

Rachaad White will finish higher in PPR than a Breece Hall.

Darren Waller will finish TE2.

Calvin Ridley will finish top WR15.

Michael Thomas has a bounce back season and is fantasy relevant.

If ETN is injured, Bigsby will be a league winner.

Metcalf top 10 WR finish. Plus TD season after last year’s poor TD showing (not for lack of red zone targets)

Maybe I’m high on Gibbs and Wilson but those first two don’t feel very spicy.

So…
Metcalf doesn’t crack the top 18

Do you think seattle offense hits a decline or it will be good just spread out?

I’ve been watching Geno Smith even back to his WV days. Thought he’d be a beast at the next level way before now.

I’m just fading his rise this late in his career. But hope I’m wrong it’s a great story.

I think Geno has a decent chance to have a down year relative to last; Lockett stays involved and Njigba has some production later season without enough to go around.

Your post about Geno reminded me:

Tyler Lockett is top 15….once again. Dude just gets it done.

Nah, after game 6, Charbonet and Metcalf will be the only pieces worth starting. My prediction is several QBs that showed enough for optimism will disappoint this year: Geno, Tua, Fields, Jones, Dak, Deshaun. Hot take, Love finishes above all those.

To me, he’s more of a change of pace back, boom or bust. He’ll have a few nice games but won’t be someone you can start with confidence.
