I wanted to write this as a 12 Days of Playoffs song covering the actual 12 days left of fantasy playoffs, but I guess I'm just not much of a lyricist. Other than "Five Gronk touchdowns" and "Two predictions I get right" I couldn't come up with much. Instead I simply put together a list of 12 bold predictions I have for this one week, from least to most bold (well 11 for this week and one that applies to the rest of the year).
So in the spirit of the holiday season (and by holiday I mean playoffs), here we go from 12 through 1:
12. Julio Jones will be the top WR.
11. Ben Tate will be a top-10 back.
10. Demaryius Thomas will be a top-5 wideout.
9. John Kuhn will outscore Frank Gore, Rashard Mendenhall and Michael Turner.
8. Seneca Wallace is good for two scores and will be a top-10 QB.
7. Ryan Mathews will make the Baltimore defense look slow, posting his fourth-straight 100-yard effort.
6. Randall Cobb will score a minimum of 12 points in standard scoring.
5. Kahlil Bell will top 100 total yards.
4. Indy will hold CJ2K under 50 yards rushing. Again.
3. Golden Tate will post 100+ and a touch in Chicago.
2. LeGarrette Blount will be the No. 1 fantasy back the rest of the year.
1. Gronk will be held scoreless.|STAR|
|STAR| when considering predictions for both weeks in a cheesy Christmas song rip-off I really liked "Five Gronk touchdowns". I do actually think he'll be kept out of the end zone this week; however, I really wouldn't put it past him to score five next week when the Pats host Miami. So that line could still hold true.
