Fearless predictions for the 2007 season (1 Viewer)

[Bristol]

Here are some of mine:

1) Owen Daniels will be a top 5 TE

2) Vince Young will struggle and not justify the draft spot that people are taking him in

3) Both of the Jones will have better stats than Calvin Johnson

4) Favre will throw for 30+ TD's and 3500 yards

5) Texans will be the "surprise" team this year

What are yours?

 

[mcd]

1) R. Curry will put up top 20 Wr numbers in PPR leagues

2) J Garcia will put up top 12 numbers in games he starts.

3) T Heap will be the #1 TE this season.

4) Tomlinson will have a great season, but still be a disappontment to the guys expecting 400+ points out of him.

5) I agree, the 2 Jones combined will out produce C. Johnson (as long as they both play 16 games).

 

[Mimo]

1) LenDale White will have 1300 yards and 10 TDs

2) Ben Roethlisberger will be a top 5 QB

3) Jamaal Anderson will have 12 sacks and win Defensive ROY

4) Bo Scaife will have 80 catches

5) Raiders will go 9-7

 

[nygiants56]

2) Ben Roethlisberger will be a top 5 QB

3) Jamaal Anderson will have 12 sacks and win Defensive ROY

4) Bo Scaife will have 80 catches

5) Raiders will go 9-7

SWEEEEET!!! 1. Ladell Betts for rush for 1400 yards and 12 TDs, as Portis goes on IR by week 3.

2. Kevin Curtis catches 82 balls for 1050 yards and 11 tds.

3. Andre Johnson leeds all WRs' in yards/receptions/tds

4. Joey Harrington throws 22 tds and finishes as a top 12 QB.

5. Edgerrin James has a bounce back season,rushing for 1500 yards and 15 tds.

6. Houston goes 10-6.

7. Az goes 10-6

8. Brandon Jacobs rushes for less than 800 yards...

9. Marshawn Lynch is this year's biggest BUST

10. Matt Leinart tosses 26 TD passes and earns a spot in the Pro Bowl.

 

[pagermill]

Here we go:

1. CPep will be Top 8 in fantasy QB points

2. BJacobs will be a bust compared to his ADP...lucky to finish in the Top 25 RB's

3. ABoldin will be a Top 3 WR

4. McNabb will miss at least 6 games

And lastly, from left field:

5. Jerome Harrison will be a Top 30 RB. Nothing to impressive being in the top 30 but from a player on almost all 12 team waiver wires...Jamal Lewis will show that his terrible season in Baltimore was not a fluke. And Harrison will catch 35-50 balls this year.

Later

 

[whodeywhodey]

Love that call on the Texans being a surprise team. I love their big players for fantasy purposes. Green, AJ, Daniels, Jacoby and Schaub will all probably outperform their ADP. What other team can you say that about across the board???

And I really like the call on J Harrison pagermill

 

[LionsFan78]

In no certain order...

1. Owners will face a harsh decision next season with the #1 overall pick. Bush or LT

2. Brady Quinn starts for Cleveland by week 6.

3. Green Bay becomes a complete fantasy RBBC hell, with....wait for it...Noah Herron coming out the "starter" by the end

4. Fantasy GMs will kick themselves for taking Baltimore ahead of Chicago and San Diego.

5. Marcedes Lewis will finish as a top 10 TE.

 

[bonesman]

1. Peyton Manning will throw for more than 25 TDs.

2. Brett Favre will break the all time TD and yardage records.

3. Reggie Bush will have over 50 receptions.

4. Maroney will appear Questionable on the injury report at least 5 times.

5. The NFC will have more teams at or below .500 than the AFC.

I cant remotely agree with any of those being possible except perhaps Mcnabb missing time, which always seems to happen.

 

[Tibereas]

1. J. Kitna finishes a top 3 QB

2. Kellen Winslow II is the clear #2 TE in the league.

3. A.Green ends up in the top 10

9. Most of America turns off the volume of ESPN's Sunday Night Football and listens to the radio broadcast or nothing at all.

10. N.O. Saints win the SuperBowl

* not projections, just showing how silly the statement is

It's the radical out-on-a-limb stuff like this that makes these kinda threads great.My 02- CHI will be a huge disappointment, winning 8 games tops- MJD will be similar, failing to crack 1200 total yds or double-digit TDs- LJ will barely be a top 10 RB for one reason or other- Steve Smith will barely be a top 10 WR - if that - for one reason or other- OAK will win at least 7 games with Culpepper Comeback POY

 

[OU#1]

*Insert random wishful thinking*

Fun post, but don't build your team around these predictions!

 

[YoUnG GuNz]

1. Westbrook will catch over 100 balls

2. Randy Moss will mis 12 games

3. Ben Roethlisberger will be a top 5 fantasy QB

4. Travis Henry will be a top 3 RB

5. Marc Bulger will not finish in the top 10 fantasy QBs

 

[-Crippler-]

McNabb will be a top 2 QB by season's end

Adrian Peterson will put up top-10 numbers

Travis Henry will be a massive disappointment to every person on this board who took him too early, as he is demoted to 3rd string in week 2

Vernon Davis will end the season as a top-5 TE

Steve Smith will not finish in the top 5 WRs, despite being the concensus #1 of most

All were real bold besides the Davis one. Lemme guess Henry tears his ACL?

 

[EBF]

Chad Johnson will have the best season of his career.

Bernard Berrian will finish in the top 20 and possibly the top 15.

Marshawn Lynch will not be a bust.

Larry Johnson will be a disappointment.

Eli Manning will have a top 10 season.

 

[Gopher State]

Travis Henry will finish as a top 5 FF back

C. Johnson Det, "hits the wall" after 8 games, and McDonald ends up with more TD's/yards

Jacoby Jones is 2006 Colston clone

R. Bush does not finish as a top 10 FF back, in non-PPR leagues

James Jones ends up with more TD's then Jennings for GB

AP is the ROY

S, Moss clicks with Campbell and finishes the season with 10TD'S (He is an every other year production WR, and this is his year to produce)

 

[Xenopax]

Ok, time for some real fearlessness:

1) Willie Parker rushes for 1800+ yards

2) P Manning throws for less than 3000 yards

3) LT scores 10 or less TDs

4) Houston goes to the Super Bowl

5) No Bengals get arrested during the season.

 

[menobrown]

1. Michael Pittman is about to go Larry Centers on us and catch 80+ passes.

2. Ronald Curry will be top 10 in PPR leagues.

3. Jon Kitna will not be able to start more than 8 games due to the beating he is about to take and the entire Lions offense will sputter when he goes down.

4. Rickey Williams will play this season, Corey Dillon will not.

 

[pghrob]

Tarvaris Jackson will be in top 15 qb scoring in FFB
Reggie Bush will have >2250 combined yards from scrimmage
Jeff Garcia will pass for 3900 yards and 28 td's
Lamont Jordan will be top 10 back in PPR leagues
Jamal Lewis rushes for 1500+ yards

Daniel Graham will be catch 9 td passes in Denver
Chris Cooley will lead Redskins in receptions
Shaun Alexander will score 18 td's
Mike Furrey will have more receptions than Calvin Johnson
Deangelo Williams not be the starter at rb at all in Carolina
Randy Moss will be top ten wr
Larry Johnson averages less than 4 ypc
Cadillac Williams has 1800 yards from scrimmage and 10 td'sIs that fearless enough?

 

[kurtrudder]

1. Houston have a .500 or better season

2. Reggie Bush league MVP

3. Carson Palmer throws for 35 TD's

4. Washington win the NFC East

5. Vince Young defies the curse and is a top 5 QB

6. Pats start 0-2 but still end up 12-4

Some of the earlier predictions that beat me to the punch:

Jerome Harrison to put up top 30 RB numbers

Matt Leinart earns a spot in the Pro Bowl

AD ROY

Owners will face a harsh decision next season with the #1 overall pick. Bush or LT

Marcedes Lewis will finish as a top 10 TE.

 

[Dirty Weasel]

- Al Davis stops drinking enbalming fluid

- Jeff Garcia falls in love with his his center and gets accused of taking HGH for the wrong reasons

- Ashley Lelie leads the league in catch %

- Rudi Johnson catches 75 passes

- LenDale exposes his bra while performing a TD celebration dance

 

[ffchamp1]

1. Roy Williams will be the #1 WR in FF

2. MJD and Bush will not come close to suplicating last years stats

3. Randy Moss, Duante Culpepper, Willis McGahee, Jamal Lewis will all be major busts

4. BALT will win the Super Bowl

5. My Colts will not make it out of round one of the playoffs

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

2. Jamal Lewis will be a top 10 RB and will have a career year - excluding 2003.

3. Culpepper will be Oakland's starting QB for the full season and finish top 7 in FF for QBs.

4. Oakland will be .500 or above.

5. Chris Henry will be Tennessee's #1 RB by season's end.

 

[SammyJankis]

- Both of the really big stories will happen in the NFC. The first will be the resurgence of the Green Bay Packers. With a much improved defense combined with a capable offense. All you'll hear about from late September on is about "Brett Favre's last super bowl run". The Packers take one of the top two spots in the NFC.

- The other big story in the NFC will be the success of the Atlanta Falcon's. Left for dead with the departure of Mike Vick. The Falcons adopt the "us against the world" persona and make a run at the NFC crown. Joey Harrington plays much better than expected and Jerious Norwood becomes a star. In the end, the Falcons will settle the debate of the lack of passing success "was it Vick or the receivers?" Answer: Yep, it was Vick. The passing game surprises.

- The Ravens will have one of the best offenses in the AFC. Clayton continues to improve, Demetrius Williams explodes and McGahee proves a better fit for the offense. Combined with a strong defense, the Ravens are one of the best teams in the AFC.

- The Colts defense takes a step back, and Indy is forced to outgun teams. This leads to a 9 to 10 win season and an early playoff exit.

- Surprise worst team in the AFC: The Miami Dolphins. Can't score, can't defend. Cam Cameron might have a short stay in South Florida.

More individual player predictions:

- League MVP: Donovan McNabb. Knee brace and all.

- Cadillac Williams leads the NFC in rushing.

- Frank Gore (surprise!) gets dinged up and finishes outside of the top 20 RBs.

- Tomlinson is the most valuable player, but Addai finishes #2.

- Lamont Jordan finishes top 10 in Oakland and reminds everyone why they were so high on him a couple of years ago.

- Larry Johnson finishes outside of the top 10. Part of it will be the missing training camp/lack of fire due to new contract. More of it will be due to the fact that KC's QB and WRs stink. Teams gang up on Johnson and dare Huard to beat them.

- Brandon Jacobs is a top 10 RB for most of the season, but suffers an injury midseason due to his hard charging style.

- Anquan Boldin (and not Fitz) finishes as a top 5 WR. Boldin lines up all over the field and conistantly puts up good numbers each week.

- Clemens overtakes Pennington for the Jets by mid-season.

- Ben Watson - Top 3 tight end.

- Tony Romo is a turnover machine in Dallas. Talk to bench him starts early in October. He ultimately keeps the job (who else can they play at QB?) but Dallas brings in a big name FA QB next off-season.

- This year's "out-of-nowhere WR" ala Colston and Cotchery: Demetrius Williams

- Jerious Norwood, 1200 yards, 12 touchdowns. Leads the league in "highlight reel" type plays. Talking heads start comparing Norwood to Reggie Bush.

 

[whodeywhodey]

Sammy you have some serious man-love for Demetrius. You running for senate anytime soon?

 

[Jeff Haseley]

1. Clinton Portis will be Comeback Player of the Year and go to the Pro Bowl.2. Jamal Lewis will be a top 10 RB and will have a career year - excluding 2003.3. Culpepper will be Oakland's starting QB for the full season and finish top 7 in FF for QBs.4. Oakland will be .500 or above.5. Chris Henry will be Tennessee's #1 RB by season's end.

If #3 happens, #1 won't

 

[headcrack]

1. Drew Brees, league MVP.

2. There will be a serious player on official assault.

3. Adrian Peterson, Chicago will finish with more rushing yards than Adrian Peterson, Minnesota.

4. If Favre somehow gets GB as far as the conference championship, the league will do everything in it's power to give him the SB (see Bettis, Jerome).

 

[TheWick]

Good stuff in here!
