Bold Predictions Recap NFL 2019

My thoughts on the predictions are in italics.

1. Leonard Fournette and Devonta Freeman finish as top 10RBs this year Fournette snuck in there and Freeman was close I'm counting it. (This was correct almost, Fournette finished 6th through week 16 and Freeman was 21st.)

2. Sam Darnold finishes as a QB1 this year. (Yea so this was a no, he finished 27th overall.)

3. Antonio Brown show everyone he's still the king and finishes as the #1 overall receiver in 1/2 point ppr. (I don’t think this needs an explanation.)

4. Tevin Coleman is outscored by Jerick McKinnon and Matt Breida. (Close but Coleman won out for sure.)

5. Marvin Jones finishes inside the top 15 at receiver and has a better year than Kenny Golladay. (Was wrong but Marvin had a good year, finished 27th per NFL.com. Golladay is king and not getting enough respect for it, Golladay finished 9th.)

6. Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield finish outside the top 12 behind guys like Lamar Jackson, Ben Roethlisberger and Phillip Rivers. (They certainly finished behind Lamar but Big Ben was hurt so I’m not counting him and Rivers was bad (if i’m being nice). Murray finished 8th which was better than his adp, but Baker finished 20th.)

7. Todd Gurley is still stupid good and the Rams need him all the way through week 17 Gurley was good and the Rams needed him all year. (I’m counting this as a win, Gurley was used all year so the concern that he would be limited because of his injuries was short lived. He finished 14th this year so not stupid good but still good.)

8. Dion Lewis has a better year than Derrick Henry (Sometimes i’m really bad at this.)

9. Marqise Lee, Kenny Stills and John Brown outperform their adp and finish at least 15 WR spots ahead of where they were drafted. (Obviously John Brown did, Stills was close but not 15 spots better and Lee didn’t play much this year. Mixed bag for sure.)

10. Kenny Stills is a top 25 receiver in half point ppr. (No but maybe yes if he stayed with Miami and didn’t get hurt?)

More general non fantasy bold takes up next.

1. Josh Rosen wins more games than Kyler Murray and outplays him. (Wrong but Rosen wasn’t give as much of an opportunity as Murray was. I still have faith in Rosen in the future.)

2. The Steelers finish 3rd or worse on the AFC North. (Wrong by a little but if the Browns come around next year this is going to be right going forward.)

3. The Patriots don't make it to the ACF Championship game this year. (Not sure yet but they won’t have a first round bye this year, first time since 2009 by my count.)

4. Kirk Cousins wins 13 games and is the NFL MVP. (Welp they made the playoffs and won 10 games, so close right?)

5. The San Fancisco 49ers Win the NFC West with 11+ wins. (I’ll take this W to the bank.)

6. The New York Jets win 9+ games and make the playoffs. (Wrong but the Jets have somehow made it 7-9 lmao.)

7. Ryan Tannehill wins more games than Marcus Mariota and is the Titans starter next year. (I mean, could I nail this harder?)

8. The Broncos have the best defense in the league and win at least 8 games. (Won 7 games but the defense wasn’t as good as I’ thought it would be.)

9. D.D. Westbrook finishes 15th or better in receiving yards this year. (Nah but at least Chark was good.)

10. Le'veon Bell has over 2,000 yards from scrimmage this year. (Nope not this year, but at least he’s great in pass pro.)
