    Not every NFL team exists with the same floor or ceiling and while some will surprise you, more often than not, teams are who we thought they were.  It’s still nice to be surprised and I like to assume good things will happen instead of being a doomsayer all the time.  Injuries are the third rail and most of the time unpredictable, but it’s part of the game.  Everyone likes to use hindsight with fantasy and the claim of “I knew that would happen” counts for little unless you can prove it.  I’m all about proving it, so here is one  bold prediction for each NFL team.

    Atlanta Falcons – Drake London and Bijan Robinson combine for 4000+ all-purpose yards

    London started slow last season, averaging just just 5.3 receptions, 53 yards and 10.6 PPR PPG, but in Weeks 4-11, London was otherworldly, averaging 11.2 targets, 7.3 receptions, 108.5 yards and 24.2 PPR PPG.  Robinson did his job, but the passing game was touch-and-go with injuries to Michael Penix and London himself.  They posted 3217 total yards as a pair last season and with more stability at QB and hopefully a fully healthy London season, everything will be funneled through these two superstars.

    Arizona Cardinals – Everyone struggles.

    Trey McBride was the TE1, Michael Wilson was elite in the second half and Jeremiyah Love went third overall.  With so many mouths to feed, a terrible o-line and questionable coaching, the wheels will fall of before the first turn.  This team was fun last season when it was pass-heavy and McBride and Wilson were able to feast.  Marvin Harrison Jr. needs touches and Love will be a featured as a runner and a receiver.  Lot of talent, no direction.

    Baltimore Ravens – Zay Flowers will have more TDs than his previously two seasons combined (9).

    With the demise of the elite TE and a lack of other WR targets, the offense will flow through Flowers.  If Derrick Henry finally starts to age and Lamar Jackson gets back to throwing 35+ TDs, Flowers could easily join the upper echelon of elite WRs after a semi-fraudulent WR7 finish last season.

    Buffalo Bills – Dalton Kincaid leads the TE position in TDs.

    The target number is 11 and the most Kincaid has gotten is five with nine career TDs in three seasons.  The problem is he can’t stay healthy, but Josh Allen loves targeting his TEs in the red zone.  Dawson Knox had 12 red zone targets compared to six for Kincaid, (Trey McBride led the league with 32) if he can get close to Hunter Henry’s 22, double digit TDs will be a lock.

    Carolina Panthers – Tetaroia McMillan leads the league in air yards.

    Last season he was the WR14 in air yards and the WR1 was Chris Olave with 1841.  McMillan is a true superstar in waiting, but I have zero faith in Bryce Young.  He’s maddeningly inconsistent week-to-week and I’m punting the entire CAR team this fantasy season.

    Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow throws for 50 TDs this season.
