Fearless Predictions for 2007 (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Pasquino]

I'll throw out a couple.

QB - David Carr starts at least 4 games for Carolina this year.

Tarvaris Jackson becomes the poor man's version of Vince Young.

Brett Favre is in the Top 12 again.

Alex Smith "comes out of nowhere" and plays well - close to QB1, but solid bye week coverage.

RB - People learn who Lorenzo Booker is. Same for Brian Leonard. And DeDe Dorsey.

SJax has far fewer catches than expected. Total touches shrink from last year by 10-15%.

Love the McGahee love earlier in this thread. I'll echo big numbers for him.

Neither NYG RB is worth starting.

Adrian Peterson - the original - is picked up a lot off the WW.

MJD owners are disappointed. Fred Taylor owners aren't.

WR - Plaxico Burress scores 10+ TDs.

Demetrius Williams starts by midseason and is a hot pickup.

Terrance Copper starts in NO.

Housh scores 12 TDs and overshadows 85, if that's even possible.

TE - People learn some names like Shiancoe and King, but the Top 10 remain starters for a reason - they're better.

Alge is #2.

Eric Johnson isn't the TE of choice in NO, but Billy Miller is.

Two TEs do emerge in SF, and one is Delanie Walker.

One TE does well in Cleveland, but he's named Heiden.

 

[-OZ-]

Grossman - top 10 QB ... was qb15 even after the horrible finish to the seasonBig Ben - top 5 QB ... has been a top qb in a conservative offense .. now more openMJD - top 5 RB ... was rb8 last year and fred is another year olderSantana - top 10 WR ... was two years ago and Campbell has approvedmore to come if time ....

I love these threads, not that anyone's opinions are right or wrong, but I have COMPLETELY different opinions on these players. And I mean LIGHT YEARS apart on some of them. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. That's why they play the games.

I'd like to read more on this. Why is Ben "LIGHT YEARS" from a top 5 QB? MJD and Grossman I don't agree with, but Santana has the talent, and Ben is #7 on my list - I just can't put him ahead of the obvious 2, the 3 B's and Kitna. Just a few for now:Ben = top 7 QBHines Ward = top 10 WRPortis = top 5 RBTitans = playoffsFavre = will miss a game Matt Jones = 10+ TDs

I said SOME not ALL. I'd give Big Ben the best chance of happening, but I think from a total points perspective I think he still will be quite aways short of the Top 5.

I'm not usually a fan of taking a segment of the season and extrapolating, but it's pretty clear that Ben was a mess in the early part of last season.So I won't do the "2nd half of the year argument". I'll do this:Take his final 12 games. That's almost the whole year. Weeks 6-17 he had 225 FPs - which translates to 300 pts for a full season. That's a reasonable number given that 225 was in 3/4 of the year.Even with Ben's bad start he finished 10th. Now we see that if he had 300 points, he would have tied Kitna for #6, just 4 points behind Palmer for Top 5.And that's under Cowher.

For starters, he needs to play in all 16 games and be healthy all year--something he hasn't been yet. Also, in most years the numbers he had last year would barely crack the Top 15. If the guys ranked near the head of the class stay healthy, I think they will be a fair amount better than Big Ben.I also think that part of the reason Big Ben did well later in the year last year was due to less than stellar defensive play. They had 6 games in a row that they allowed 20+ points. If the Steelers defense is stronger, I'm not convinced PIT will air it out like a Martz style offense.Now a lot can change as the season goes on. Guys above him could get hurt. The defense could take a turn for the worst. Maybe Parker gets hurt and they can't run. There are scenarios where he could end up having to pass a lot more. I suppose it's not impossible or maybe even improbable. I just don't see it (although I think he'll do pretty well all things considered).

 

[LHUCKS]

Joey Harrington Finishes in top 10

Lamont Jordan Finishes in top 5

Porter Finishes in top 10

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

Frank Gore tears his ACL

D. Henderson has better FF #'s than Colston

Julius Jones and Warrick Dunn get the better half of their RBBC

Steve Smith(carolina) will miss 6 games

Tatum Bell will be a top 15 RB

Benson will produce better FF numbers than T.Jones

Matt Schuab will only get sacked 43 times.

Maroney will be the huge let down of the 1st round picks

The Cleveland Browns will win 7 games and kill the Cowboys chances at the top RB.....good thing it wasn't McFadden and he will drop to them.

The Cardinals win the NFC West behind a run-based team

 

[awesomeness]

Willis Mcgahee is top 5 RB

Barring divine intervention, I have a hard time seeing how this is possible. Jamal Lewis rushed for over 2,000 yards and barely cracked the Top 5. BAL running backs COMBINED each year since then did not produce enough fantasy scoring to rank in the Top 5. So unless the Ravens are way more productive AND the other backs barely touch the ball, this one would be tough to reconcile mathematically. (I realize that anything is possible, but this one needs a lot of stars to align for it to happen.)But I like the going out on a limb factor. And I hope you're right, because I've owned McGahee every year since he came into the league.

First off, i didn't think any projection needed to be defended here because these picks are going on the limb but anyway. IMO McGahee is way underrated and i dont see him having any trouble of finishing higher than his ADP. Playing on the Ravens under their coaching and O-line should definitely help him out. The passing game should be significantly better as McNair had 3 solid receivers to throw to opposed to Losman's 1 which should also help him out. And after LT and SJax, there are some significant question marks for each RB so i see no reason why a miracle is required for McGahee to make it to the top 5.

 

[Blackjacks]

Tom Brady will come out of the closet. It will be revealed that his relationship with Giselle was just to get him into the modeling world.

In an even more shocking revelation it is revealed that Jeff Garcia is straight.

I think that is the craziest prediciton so far. Sorry buddy but your gonna be disappointed if your waiting for that one. Queerer than a 3 dollar bill.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

Clinton Portis will rebound in a big way, making the Pro Bowl while going over 1800 total yards and 12 TDs.

Jerry Porter will post his first 1000 yard season. Something along the lines of 80/1180/9TD.

 

[BLOX]

Not so shocking...

Palmer #1 QB in '07

TO #1 WR in '07

Portis returns to elite status.

Gates has his career year.

Off the wall...

Chris Brown is a top 10 RB

T.J. Houshmanzadeh finishes in the top 5 while Chad Johnson finishes outside the top 10

JaMarcus Russell starts and wins the last 5 games of the season for the Raiders

Cardinals dominate NFC West

Off my rocker...

Aaron Rodgers is a solid fantasy option by week 8

Two rookie WRs finish in the top 15 (C.J. and Jarrett)

Adrian Peterson (CHI) will lead the NFC in rushing the 2nd half of the season.

 

[ceo3west]

Joey Harrington Finishes in top 10Lamont Jordan Finishes in top 5Porter Finishes in top 10

If any of these happen, I will be at season's end.

 

[AmpLee]

Fun thread.....Ok here's mine...

- Thomas Jones has a monster year and wins Offensive Player of the Year.

- In the year of the underdog in the NFC. The 49ers and Cardinals battle it out for the NFC West with both teams making the playoffs...The Lions take a weak NFC North

- The first half of the year, the AFC South is a dog fight between the slumping Colts, Titans and surprising Texans.. The Colts eventually regain form and win the division but don't lock it up until week 16

- Jason Campbell finishes as a top 10 QB

 

[ceo3west]

I find these to be very intriguing. See comments Jeff - would like thoughts on some.

I'll throw out a couple.

QB - David Carr starts at least 4 games for Carolina this year. I CAN SEE IT

Tarvaris Jackson becomes the poor man's version of Vince Young. I LIKE THIS ONE, AND CAN BE HAD FOR NOTHING

Brett Favre is in the Top 12 again. IM ALWAYS A FAN

Alex Smith "comes out of nowhere" and plays well - close to QB1, but solid bye week coverage. DEPENDS ON DJAX HEALTH

RB - People learn who Lorenzo Booker is. Same for Brian Leonard. And DeDe Dorsey. BOOKER POSSIBLY, BUT I SEE BIG YEARS FROM SJAX & ADDAI - LEAONARD & DORSEY HAVE TO WAIT

SJax has far fewer catches than expected. Total touches shrink from last year by 10-15%. DON'T SEE THIS AT ALL - CAN YOU EXPAND ON THIS?

Love the McGahee love earlier in this thread. I'll echo big numbers for him. NOT SOLD ON BIG #'S HERE

Neither NYG RB is worth starting. AGREED

Adrian Peterson - the original - is picked up a lot off the WW. I HOPE NOT. I REALLY LIKE BENSON.

MJD owners are disappointed. Fred Taylor owners aren't. VERY BOLD - I LIKE IT

WR - Plaxico Burress scores 10+ TDs. THIS IS A GUY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT - I LIKE THIS A LOT - YOUR REASONS?

Demetrius Williams starts by midseason and is a hot pickup. TOO MANY OPTIONS IN BAL AND AN OLD QB

Terrance Copper starts in NO. I LIKE IT

Housh scores 12 TDs and overshadows 85, if that's even possible. WOW

TE - People learn some names like Shiancoe and King, but the Top 10 remain starters for a reason - they're better. AGREED

Alge is #2. DONT SEE IT

Eric Johnson isn't the TE of choice in NO, but Billy Miller is. ONLY IF EJ GETS INJURED AGAIN..

Two TEs do emerge in SF, and one is Delanie Walker. COULD HAPPEN, BUT VD WILL BE A STUD

One TE does well in Cleveland, but he's named Heiden.

 

[Sylira21]

Joey Harrington Finishes in top 10

NOOOOOO!!!!! Don't you know this is the seventh sign of the Apocalypse?Erm. Excuse me.

 

[Sleeper 43]

Travis Henry will finish 2nd among Rbs only behind LT.

LJ holds out / Bennett gets hurt / FA RB finishes for KC (Dillon?)

Jerome Harrison emerges after J-Lew gets hurt or fails to produce

Caddy gets comeback player of the year

Romo finishes top 5 among QB's

Brandon Jacobs shows the world he CAN carry the rock 20 x's a game. (Hes slimmed up this off-season)

Lee Evans busts

J.J Arrington gains more attention and a RB controversy ensues after the 07 season.

Rex gets pulled no later than mid-season for Griese (maybe wishful thinking)

 

[AnonymousBob]

Calling someone a moron for having uncoventional predictions is never a good thing. However, I do understand the need to know how and why people have come to their projections. If you predict Chad Pennington to finish as a top 10 qb I would like to know if you simply pulled some wild and crazy prediction out of your rear end just for the sake of being able to say something unique or if you have compelling reasons behind the statement.

I generally hate "gut feelings". It's nothing more than some crap ### way of telling the world you have no reasoning behind your way of thinking.

 

[shakeybarn]

As a case in point, last year I had roughly the following in terms of rankings . . .Vick 4Kitna 5Brady 8Rivers 11McNabb 12I was forwarded an email from the site owners from someone demanding for my immediate resignation or the guy wanted to cancel his subscription, so I had to send a justification response to this person fully explaining why I ranked the players as I did because only an idiot would rank Brady and McNabb that low. So I killed an hour writing a personal response outlining the 87 reasons why I had the guys ranked where I did.And here's how they ended up . . .Vick 4Kitna 6Brady 7Rivers 9McNabb 12I hope the guy demanded a refund and got it, because his approach and behavior was atrocious. IMO, while I'm sure the site would like to keep his money, I don't think there's any place for berating people and demanding people be fired. After all, it's a game and a hobby. This is not brain surgery with lives on the line.

Looks good, but curious why/where 1,2,3,6,7,9,10 ended up????!!! Curious why you just picked those up to match up nicely.I can pull out a SJax breakout call, and sweep a Bledsoe Top-5 finish under the rug.Regardless, keep up the good content.

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

West Virginia Wins the National Championship

Hey, it didn't say NFL predictions....lol

Division Winners: Chicago, Dallas, NO, St. Louis, Pats, Colts, Broncos, Baltimore

Wild Card: CArolina, SF, Tenn, S.D.

Conference Title: Pats over Ravens, Bears over Cowboys

Super Bowl : Pats over Bears

Norv Turner fired at end of year when Chargers go 10-6 and lose in Divisional Round to Pats....again - Ron Rivera named coach

 

[Beaumont]

Joey Harrington Finishes in top 10Lamont Jordan Finishes in top 5Porter Finishes in top 10

I'm in for top 15 for Harrington ...Thats about as fearless as I get ...

 

[nygiants56]

A lot of guys make predictions on this site, but few really go out on a limb. I always like to hear other guys' outrageous predictions so please add your own if you got 'em.

* J. Cutler throws 27 TD's and lands in the top 3

* K. Boller replaces McNair this year & becomes a solid fantasy QB

* T. Green gets back to fantasy respectability and leads the Fins to the playoffs

* R. Bush touches the ball over 350 times and lands in the top 3

* R. Droughns has more touches than B. Jacobs by year end

* A. Green has a top 15 season in Houston

* R. Moss regains elite status cracking the top 5 this year

* P. Crayton ends up with more fantasy points than T. Glenn

* G. Jennings catches 85 balls

* V. Davis ends up the #1 fantasy TE this year

* T. Scheffler catches 7 TD's

Love these predictions! jennings won't cath 85 balls with driver up there. The 'TE in Denver is a fantasy gem' theory, is just a myth now,has been since Sharpe retired. as long as Deuece is hanging around, Bush is nothing more than Eric Metcalf, v2.0.

here's mine:

Brandon Jacobs relinquishes the #1 spot to Droughns. before opening day.

Adrian Peterson, Bears, rushes for 1300 yards as a STARTING RB, and out rushes the other A. Peterson on the Vikings.

Tomlinson manages a mere 1300 yards rushing and just 14 total TDs..great stats for anyone other than LT!

Travis Henry rushes for 1500 yards/15 tds, and finishes as the #3 RB, behind sjax + lj..

McNabb plays less than 6 games in 2007.

Sammy Morris becomes the #1 RB in NE, rushing for 1300 yards and 11 tds ( Maroney gets hurt)

S. Holmes catches 80 balls, scoring 11 tds.

Andre Johnson FINALLY has the type of year we've been waiting for, i.e, 95 catches, for 1400 yards and 12 tds.

Lamont Jordan rushes for over 1000 yards as the Raiders' workhorse back.

Michael Turner gets traded before opening day, perhaps to GB.

I only mentioned the players I mentioned because those were the ones I was getting called out on by the disgruntled subscriber.

 

[bigmiiiiike]

Garcia's wife is the 2004 Playmate of the Year.

Projections:

Ahman Green is a top 10 back

The top 3 WRs by the end of the year will be Harrison, TO, and Randy Moss

No Falcons player is worthy of a start on ANY week (not really that out there)

Wade Philips falls in love with Marion Barber III and he takes over 65% of the touches, going for 1200 rushing yards, 350 receiving yards, and 15 TDs.

McNabb stays healthy all year long and finishes the year as the #1 FF QB.

Consequentially, Reggie Brown is a top 15 WR, and LJ Smith is a top 5 TE.

 

[zoonation]

Joey Harrington Finishes in top 10

Lamont Jordan Finishes in top 5

he won't finish top 15.

[Buck Bradcanon]

i kind of like the lamont jordan pick. not saying top 5 but that doesnt matter cause you wont have to draft him there.

-- clear starter weeks 1-4..what happens after that?

-- team better than last year with new coach? not always the case but they were awful last year

-- has been there before (top 10 i mean) albeit for one year only, but that was just 2 years ago

-- defense should again be top notch so they should be able to at least stay in games

i seem to remember some quote from someone last year where someone suggested running screens to RBs and Shell's response was "ill have to write that down"..something like that

Oak will be better and Lamont stand to benefit as much as anyone. whats his ADP right now?

Jordan is going 84th overall, or the end of the 7th round in a 12-teamer.Not a big fan of Jordan this year, I think the whole team will struggle once again. I do think it's crazy that guys like L. Betts & C. Taylor are being taken ahead of him though.

 

[Fantasy Warrior]

QB's

Rex Grossman throws 25 TD's

RB's

Fred Taylor scores 8TD's and 1100 Rushing

Larry Johnson scores 22+ TD's and 1500 Rushing

TE's

Greg Olson Scores 6+ TD's

Vernon Davis scores 7+ TD's

WR's

Fitzgerald and Colston both Score 11+ TD's

 

[spacevan]

Good thread! Ok here it goes:

QBs

Brees has great year and takes N.O. to Superbowl

Peyton gets throwing hand injured right before the playoffs

Harrington is replaced when Falcons are 1-7, Shockley comes in and leads them to 8-8

Romo busts

Alex Smith has a huge year!!!!

Matt Leinart is steady but not huge

Vick is banned from the NFL for life

John Kitna becomes Marc Bulger and Marc Bulger becomes John Kitna

Steve McNair is top 10 QB

RBs

LT is LT but Norv Turner holds him back to keep him fresh for playoffs, Michael Turner is in top 15

Thomas Jones makes Chicago look stupid

The Edge is in the top 5

Priest Holmes rushes for 1800 yards and 16 T.D.s if LJ holds out

Ronny Brown is in top 10

Giants miss Tiki

New England doesnt miss Dillon

WRs

Vincent Jackson has huge year

Chris Chambers has huge year

Ted Ginn Jr returns 8 for TDs

Moss is so so because Brady spreads the ball

T.O. goes nuts because Romo busts

 

[Cajun Heat]

"Bad Newz Kennels" will be the most popular name for fantasy football teams across the land.

 

[pmcdade]

Lets be bold:

Jamal Lewis will have more than 1200 yds rushing and 10 TD's.

McAllister will once again out perform Reggie Bush as a fantasy back. (Non ppr)

Tomlinson will not be the #1 fantasy back.

 

[Buckna]

Matt Schuab will only get sacked 43 times.

Not very fearless, that's how many sacks the Texans gave up last year.Here's fearless... the Texans go 9-7 for their first ever winning season.

 

[LHUCKS]

Joey Harrington Finishes in top 10

Lamont Jordan Finishes in top 5

Porter Finishes in top 10

he won't finish top 15.

I didn't say I would bet on it.

And I have even less love for Williams.

I'm with you on both.

 

[ceo3west]

- MJD- top 10 (Yudkin has no love for MJD)- De Williams Car rb- top 10 rb's

And I have even less love for Williams.

Dave - where can I find your rankings?

My positional rankings are in the group with everyone elses. I updated them today so they should be easy to spot.

 

[lawrence phillips]

Great thread. Ok here are my "off my rocker" fearless predictions

-Kenny Irons will be a must own by week 8 and a must start by week 11.

-Wes Welker will catch 90 balls.

-Lamar Woodley will get double digit sacks

-The Redskins will go 10-6 and win the NFC East

-LJ Smith will be a top 5 TE

-Demarcus Ware 15+ sacks

-The first commercial after the start of the 2nd quarter will be a Taco Bell commercial

 

[IAmTheBruteSquad]

Here goes nothing...

Reggie Bush gets hurt before the week 8 and is out for the rest of the season.

The Jags win the AFC South with a top 3 rush offense and Garrard at the helm.

Miami finishes with less than 3 wins.

Alexander returns to form with 23+ TD's.

Kevin Jones finishes as top 5 RB for 2nd half of season.

Baby T.O. (Brandon Marshall) leads Broncos in receiving and finishes above the elder T.O.

And finally, Eli Manning lives up to expectations and throws for more TD's than Peyton.

That's enough....I hear the patty wagon rolling up the drive to take me away to the asylum...

[Banger]

The Pats don't win their division

Rudi won't be top 10

Portis will finish top 7

 

[Riffraff]

Rudi Johnson and Torry Holt/Marc Bulger help many fantasy teams win their championship.

Rudi plays STL (home), SF (away), and CLE (home) during the FF play-offs (weeks 14-16).

Last year's rushing yards rank: STL #31, SF #19, and CLE #29

Torry and Marc play CIN (away), GB (home), and PIT (home) during the FF play-offs (weeks 14-16).

Last year's passing yards rank: CIN #31, GB #17, and PIT #20

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

I find these to be very intriguing. See comments Jeff - would like thoughts on some.

I'll throw out a couple.

QB - David Carr starts at least 4 games for Carolina this year. I CAN SEE IT

Tarvaris Jackson becomes the poor man's version of Vince Young. I LIKE THIS ONE, AND CAN BE HAD FOR NOTHING

Brett Favre is in the Top 12 again. IM ALWAYS A FAN

Alex Smith "comes out of nowhere" and plays well - close to QB1, but solid bye week coverage. DEPENDS ON DJAX HEALTH

RB - People learn who Lorenzo Booker is. Same for Brian Leonard. And DeDe Dorsey. BOOKER POSSIBLY, BUT I SEE BIG YEARS FROM SJAX & ADDAI - LEAONARD & DORSEY HAVE TO WAIT

SJax has far fewer catches than expected. Total touches shrink from last year by 10-15%. DON'T SEE THIS AT ALL - CAN YOU EXPAND ON THIS?

Love the McGahee love earlier in this thread. I'll echo big numbers for him. NOT SOLD ON BIG #'S HERE

Neither NYG RB is worth starting. AGREED

Adrian Peterson - the original - is picked up a lot off the WW. I HOPE NOT. I REALLY LIKE BENSON.

MJD owners are disappointed. Fred Taylor owners aren't. VERY BOLD - I LIKE IT

WR - Plaxico Burress scores 10+ TDs. THIS IS A GUY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT - I LIKE THIS A LOT - YOUR REASONS?

Demetrius Williams starts by midseason and is a hot pickup. TOO MANY OPTIONS IN BAL AND AN OLD QB

Terrance Copper starts in NO. I LIKE IT

Housh scores 12 TDs and overshadows 85, if that's even possible. WOW

TE - People learn some names like Shiancoe and King, but the Top 10 remain starters for a reason - they're better. AGREED

Alge is #2. DONT SEE IT

Eric Johnson isn't the TE of choice in NO, but Billy Miller is. ONLY IF EJ GETS INJURED AGAIN..

Two TEs do emerge in SF, and one is Delanie Walker. COULD HAPPEN, BUT VD WILL BE A STUD

One TE does well in Cleveland, but he's named Heiden.

I'll comment on SJax and Plax.SJax - 90 catches again is just unrealistic. They added a TE (McMichael) that is a Linehan guy from his Miami days to get more targets. They also drafted Leonard in the 2nd round and he's a great receiver.

I think both take 15-20 catches away from SJax and he winds up with 50-60 catches this year.

Plax - if the run game is average without Tiki at best, what does Eli do? Throw.

Plax has 22 Tds the last 3 years and he is a Top 20 WR even without a boost. He should be getting many targets and the G-men will be playing from behind. Also WR2 is improving (Toomer / Steven Smith), a problem the 2nd half of 06.

For more, read my Spotlights on both players.

Somehow all of these predictions make sense in my warped mind.

QB

Brooks Bollinger is the opening day starter for the Vikings (Although Childress justifiably says it is based on pre-season performance, most fans will believe Chilly is playing favorites. It won’t help Chilly’s popularity rating at all)

RBs

Chicago’s Adrian Peterson will look better and have a higher YPC than Benson. However, Peterson won’t be allowed to win the staring job outright. Chicago will distribute the carries strategically (ie Benson will get more goal line and garbage time carries) and Benson will he listed as the starter each week even though Peterson will be the play maker.

Tatum Bell will put the ball on the carpet so often that he will get benched by mid season whether or not Kevin Jones is ready to go.

Mike Bell will prove himself to just as productive as Travis Henry in Denver. By the end of the season, most Bronco fans will be willing to admit that Henry really isn’t worth all the extra money that they are paying him.

WRs

The over hyped rookies, Steve Smith (NYG), Anthony Gonzalez and Jason Hill, are out shined by the less hyped Sidney Rice and Laurent Robinson.

TEs

Shiancoe will prove his worth to the Vikings as a blocker but unfortunately his hands will prove to be so unreliable that he won’t be worth rostering on any fantasy team.

Minnesota’s undrafted TE Braden Jones will be this year’s version of Owen Daniels and will be a popular dynasty pickup.

- MJD- top 10 (Yudkin has no love for MJD)- De Williams Car rb- top 10 rb's

And I have even less love for Williams.

Dave - where can I find your rankings?

My positional rankings are in the group with everyone elses. I updated them today so they should be easy to spot.

Dave, do you have a link?

Roy Williams will be the top WR.

Brady unseats Peyton as the top QB.

SJax unseats LT as the top RB. Edge barely cracks top 20 RBs, Caddy finishes #26.
