Bold Predictions

I was wondering what I should write about as I headed home from work. My thoughts of what to write were interrupted by pure frustration as I wait for the elevator. "Why on earth is it taking so long for the elevator?! All I want to do is be able to change clothes, relax and produce some new content." My frustration began to build as a couple more minutes passed. I'm incredibly annoyed at this point. Then it hit me. The most inconvenient part of my day was waiting a few minutes for the elevator to escort me up to my highrise apartment. Life isn't so bad if this is my biggest inconvenience #firstworldprobs. I wonder if any NFL players have something inconvenient that will effect their 2019 outlook? Let's jump in with some bold predictions and spicey takes.

Damien Williams

What inconveniences could there possibly be in Damien's world ? He's set to be the lead back for the best offense in football right ? He excels as a pass catcher and has a generational talent as a QB. What could possibly stop him from being an RB1? Oh wait, now I remember! The Cheifs just signed LeSean McCoy, giving him 3 million guaranteed. You don't pay that kind of money to a RB if he's just an insurance policy or a depth addition. I believe the intent is to give McCoy a significant workload in the range of 12-15 touches per game. Many will argue that McCoy is washed up and will face plant if he is given an opportunity to earn a role. I get it. He averaged a career low 3.2 ypc last season and he's now 31. That was on a Bills team that no one feared getting beat from their passing game. Now he's reunited with Andy Reid in the system he flourished in. I've gone back and watched his 2018 tape. He still has the "Shady Shake". He was dangerous in space. McCoy also has 7 seasons of 40 or more catches. He is going to be a versatile asset for this team. My first BOLD prediction - LeSean McCoy finishes with more fantasy points than Damien Williams in both standard and PPR.


 Deshaun Watson

Watson averages 1.5 YPA and 1.5 TDs per game more with Will Fuller on the field. With the addition Laremy Tunsil, Watson will have more time to make big plays. Kenny Stills will only add to those big plays. The addition of Duke Johnson will present an upgrade in the pass catching RB arena. This could help swing plays that were sacks or hurried throws last year into checkdowns that turn into positive gains. Watson has 5,000 total yards and 40 total TDs in 2019.



Odell Beckham Jr

I've talked him up enough to forgo a breakdown. Beckham eclipses 1700 yards and has 17+ TDs this season.



Sony Michel

Sony Michel leads the NFL in rushing TDs with at least 18.



Will Fuller

Fuller stays healthy and goes en fuego. Finishes the year as a WR1 in both standard and PPR.


Saquan Barkley

Finishes the year with over 2200 total yards  but still finishes behind Ezekiel Elliot as the RB2 overall.



Justice Hill

Finishes with 1200+ total yards and 6+ scores. Ends the year as a top 20 RB



Baker Mayfield

Mayfield not only feels dangerous, but is dangerous to your opposing fantasy owners. Mayfield finishes with 4700 total yards and 40 total TDs



James Washington

Finishes as a top 25 WR eclipsing the 1000 yard mark.



Zach Ertz

Finishes outside the top 5 at the position.
