Bold Predictions Thread

Adam Thielen will lead the panthers receiver core:

Andy Dalton loves to throw short passes and will look for a guy who can win on first down situations. He played with Adam Thielen last year and Thielen got 14 targets, 11 receptions, 140 yards, and a touchdown. He's also the guy for end zone targets. This year he will split some of those first down targets with DJ and end zone targets with Legette but he will still likely be the first read on the offense in both situations. I see him getting 7, 80, 1 for roughly 21 points ppr.

Mason will put up a top performance. Aiyuk will underperform:

The rams defense is banged up but so is the 49ers offense. Aiyuk is out of shape and will likely get double teamed without kittle or deebo to block/draw coverage. I don't think Aiyuk will be able to get open enough to catch on short to immediate plays and may only get a few big plays. Jauan Jennings may help but I forsee Shannahan running the hot hand on the run game. Jordan Mason will get 140 yards, 1 td, and 3 receptions for 20 yards (25 ppr). Aiyuk will go 3 rec on 8 targets for 40 yards and maybe a TD if he's lucky (7-13 points ppr).

Josh Downs will fix the colts offense. Pittman and Pierce will do well:

Anthony Richardson can't throw short. He has a great arm and can lob it to Pierce better than he can get it to Pittman on a third down situations. His accuracy is off. BUT downs fixes a hole in the colts offense and gives AR another option on first down situations. He also is a great blocker. This frees up pitman to handle 3rd downs and give Richardson more time to throw. Downs himself probably will be WR2 material (think 7 for 50 i.e 12 ppr) but he will elevate pitman back to WR2 level too. Michelle is the odd man out as a rookie
