Bold Fantasy Predictions

1. Jordan Cameron is the 3rd best fantasy TE


Cameron looks to be the go to receiver in Cleveland whether it's with Brandon Weden or with Brian Hoyer this week.  He is averaging 90 receiving yards a game and has four TDs.  Currently Cameron is second in yards, 2nd in catches and tied for first in touchdowns for TEs.  All behind or tied with Jimmy Graham.

Gronkowski's return should put Gronk back into the top TE consideration as Brady's favorite target and one of his only returning weapons from last season.  Cameron could prove to be the second best TE if Gronk struggles to comeback as good as he was the last couple of seasons.

2. Eddie Royal will have more TDs than Hakeem Nicks and Mike Wallace combined


Eddie Royal has started out this season as hot as any receiver could.  In his first two games he had 5 total receiving touchdowns and looks to be Philip River's favorite target in the red zone.  He could have been seen to have a bad week this week with only 34 yards and no TDs but he had a touchdown called back but holding and Rivers still looked his way a lot.

Nicks has zero TD catches this season and Manning has looked awful with 8 INTs and had 0 TD passes this week.  Wallace had an awful week 1 catching only one pass and then he scored the next week on a screen pass.  Tannehill does not throw the best deep ball where Wallace really excels at and I think this combo will not connect on many more scores this season.

I think Royal will get 10 TD catches this year, which is only 5 more this year for 13 more games, and Nicks will get 4 while Wallace also will get 5.

3.  Robert Griffin III will finish a top 5 fantasy QB



After 3 games RG3 has been a really big disappointment.  You would think this is true but he was drafted as the 7th or 8th QB and is currently the 11th best ranked fantasy QB.  This is not that bad of a place to be after seeing the Redskin offense look lost and RG3 not making many plays.  I believe he can really turn it around and have a great season.

To get to the top 5 RG3 would have to pass the likes of Rivers, Ryan, Newton, Luck, Stafford and Bradford.  Vick is in the top 4 and could easily fall out as well Rivers and Bradford seem like they do not belong in the top 10 at all.
