QB
Eli Manning Giants
He is ranked 10th on the QB list in front of guys such as Rivers, Newton and Tannehill. Manning will have some big games but then he will also have some really terrible games and I would rather take a chance on Rivers, who threw more TDs last year; Newton, who can make plays with his legs; or Tannehill who is projected to have breakout season with his new weapons.
Stat prediction: 4,200 yards, 26 TD, 16 INT
RB
CJ Anderson Broncos
Not sure that Anderson will get the carries that other top 10 RBs will get and that is my main concern. There is word that the Broncos want to get Hillman more carries and Anderson has not even had a full season of starting. Anderson did have two huge rushing games but the last 5 games of the year never got past 87 yards rushing and I would just not take him as a top 5 RB as many sites have suggested with Forte, Murray, Hill, and Mccoy ranked lower him.
Stat prediction: 900 rush yards 7 TDs
Frank Gore Colts
Last year I thought was going to be his last year as the ultimate workhorse and getting most of the carries as he had the 8th most carries last season and he only produced 4 rush TDs. A RB ranking of 11 is too risky in my mind as he will probably miss some games because he is injury prone and old. I really don't think the carries will be what fantasy owners expect for Gore. I would rather go with Ingram, Forsett, or Morris who are all ranked lower.
Stat prediction: 810 rush yards 6 TDs
WR
Amari Cooper Raiders
If he was on pretty much any other team I could maybe see ranking him as the 15th best WR but even that for a rookie is very high. Cooper has great skill and potential but I don't see him having a great fantasy season and a very inconsistent one. I would way rather take a chance on Andre Johnson or Keenan Allen, who are both #1 options with great QBs or number two options like Devante Adams or Martavias Bryant who also have great QBs. Also the Raiders haven't had a 1,000 yard receiver since '05 when Randy Moss was in Oak.
Stat prediction: 900 yards 5 TDs
Allen Robinson
Probably their #1 option this season but Bortles is not a top QB and their top WR the last 7 seasons has not broken over 1,000 yards or 7 touchdowns. Not really sure why Robinson has got all this love and the ranking of the 25th best WR, his production last year was the 3rd best WR on his team with 48 catches, 548 yards, and two TDs.
Stat prediction: 700 yards 4 TDs
