5 Predictions for the Fantasy Football Season

On the day of the 2010 NFL Kickoff, I thought it would be a good time to go over some of my bold, or not so bold, predictions for the 2010 fantasy football season.  Please excuse my bias towards the Eagles or hatred for the biggest undiagonosed manic depressive I have ever heard of.  Let's start with him..

Brett Favre will return to Brett Favre. Interceptions will be handed out all across the league and he’ll conveniently blame it on his ankle or some other abstract injury that no one will know about. His only threw 7 interceptions last year and I expect it to at least double and expect his TD passes to drop into the low 20’s. He’ll barely be a #2 QB by the end of the season.


Chris Johnson will ghost ride his whip (made more famous by Marshawn Lynch) to the stadium each week and have more fantasy points than last year. Yes. That’s correct. More TDs will put him over his mark from last year. Marshall Faulk we’ll be moving down to the 3rd all time leader in yards from scrimmage.

Your Philadelphia Eagles will have the best Defense/Special Team in the league for fantasy scoring. With Brandon Graham and Trent Cole pressuring the quarterback, we will see more rushed passes, which will lead to more interceptions and also more sacks. Expect a minimum of 50 sacks this season with 4 this weekend against the Packers. Broken turnstiles on the edges. Turnstiles.

Despite having those said turnstiles, Rodgers will still lead the league in TD passes. Simon says 44. Unfortunately he’ll start the season with 2 against the Iggles. But, don’t expect me to give you a prediction of the game this weekend, that’s above my pay grade.

Michael Crabtree and Calvin Johnson will be the leading Wide Receiver’s this season. Both are the up and coming WRs in the league and if these guys are on your team, get pumped. Or as some of you forty something’s would say, “That’s boss.” And for you 80 something’s out there that are reading this and dominating your leagues, “It’s the bee’s knees.”
