Hot Sauce Guy

Give me one "hot take" "bold call" for the 2017 season. Something no one here at FBG is talking about or predicting - epic bust, epic sleeper, one name, and why. 

Go! 

 
Eli Manning finishes top 5 QB (I do believe he has a decent shot at top 10 with all the weapons... or just as likely sub top 15)

 
One for each position:

QB: Carr is a top 5 QB this year after Rodgers, Brady, and Jameis Winston.

WR: Davante Adams continues his 2016 success and breaks into the Top 10 as Jordy and Cobb become more decoys than threats.

RB: Bilal Powell cracks Top 10 for overall yards from scrimmage thanks to the insane volume he will get as the only effective Jets offensive weapon.

TE: Ebron stays healthy and is a Top 5 TE.

 
One for each position:

QB: Carr is a top 5 QB this year after Rodgers, Brady, and Jameis Winston.
Made a decent size bet with league mates that Carr will finish to 3 in qb fantasy scoring. Those qbs except Winston ahead of him. If Crabtree repeats his performance from last year, this seems like a great call.

Here's a bold call, Jordan Howard is this year's Jordan Howard and finishes in top 5 rb non ppr for the year. 

 
ADP gets hurt again, Ingram benched and Kamara gets 1800 total yards and 14 TD's

Doyle is the #3 TE with 120 targets and 80 catches 

Wentz is top 5 QB

rookie Stewart in NY catches 85 balls

 
Laquon Treadwell finishes Top 30 WR..... can be had with Mr. Irrelevant pick in almost every draft

 
Josh Gordon gets reinstated in late September...

...spends October reacclimating himself to the rigors of the NFL...

...and then goes on an Odell Beckham-esque run in November & December; leading his owners to the....

...Championship!!!

 
melvin gordon has fewer than 200 carries this season

Paul Perkins rushes for over 1000 yards

Bills and Colts go 0-16

James Conner leads Pitt in rushing yards after Bell shows up late to the team ( sept 1) and rushes into action too soon , and gets hurt.hammy? ankle? quad? the poster child for inability to stay healthy fails to do so AGAIN in 2017. 

 
Kyle Juszczyk is 2nd on the 49ers in receptions and takes over as the GL back when Hyde misses some time on his way to a top 15 PPR RB finish.

Ameer Abdullah will approach top-5 RB this season.

Why?

  - Some people mistakenly claim he's injury prone -- simply untrue.

  - Some people claim he fumbles too often -- simply untrue -- look at his college numbers and you'll notice he improved each season until it was a non-issue.

  - Boldin's leaving will simply mean Theo Riddick will run more routes, not that he will claim any of AA's run-between the tackles role (which would tip the defense off as to the play-call   since he's decidedly NOT a between the tackles runner).

  - AA's explosiveness will be evident starting week 1 when they play Arizona, the team that coincidentally badly wanted to draft AA only to settle for D. Johnson once Detroit took him.

  - The OL injuries come at the tackle position not the interior, which is much improved, and which will play to its' run blocking strength.

  - Detroit hasn't run as much recently simply because they haven't had the healthy/run inclined personnel they needed -- this has now changed.

  - Yes, he'll likely lose some goal line touches but he'll still get his...

 
Gronk will suffer some sort of mild/moderate injury.  The Pats will want to make sure that he's fully healthy for the post season--so he ends up missing extended time--which in turn will make Dwayne Allen a very fantasy relevant TE for a moderate to big portion of the fantasy season.   This is why I think that all gronk owners should handcuff him with Allen.
