San Diego Chargers: I say Ladarius Green, currently undrafted (as TE26), scores eight touchdowns this season and is a viable fantasy starter at the position. My thinking: Well, I've been on the Green bandwagon for a few years now, what's one more? The four-game suspension for Antonio Gates opens the door for Green to show what he can do, and the Chargers don't have a lot of great red zone threats.dress sneakersTampa Bay Buccaneers: I say Vincent Jackson has a better fantasy season than Mike Evans does. My thinking: I actually think Evans is really something special, but despite a down year last season, Jackson is no slouch, either. Their yardage totals were basically the same, and Jackson actually beat Evans in receptions and targets. The major difference between the two players was touchdowns, as Evans scored 10 more. Things like that tend to regress, so I could see Evans' total come down a bit, Jackson's go up, and frankly, my heart just wasn't into a bold prediction on Doug Martin, Jameis Winston and Austin Seferian-Jenkins (I feel like I've done a ton of tight end ones). I love Evans, but I do think the hate on Jackson has gone too far, so I wanted to basically highlight that.New Orleans Saints: I say Drew Brees, a surefire top-five and often top-three QB, finishes outside the top 10 at quarterback this season in fantasy points. My thinking: He says last season's sixth-place finish among QBs was because of injury, and maybe it was. But losing guys like Jimmy Graham, Kenny Stills and Pierre Thomas, going more run-based and hoping to keep that same production with a young and somewhat unproven Brandin Cooks, an injury-prone C.J. Spiller, a slowing-down Marques Colston and a raw Brandon Coleman is dicey. Plus, with downgrades at tight end and a growing number of talented quarterbacks in fantasy-friendly offenses, I can easily see another "down" year for Brees.Lee lives for the grind of the football season. The days pass seamlessly, with hours of strength work, film work and more film work. It’s how Lee gets his edge. He can know what an offense will do before it does it because he has studied so much.ralph lauren offersRobinson pointed out that Michael was asked to do a lot more in Seattle than he will in Dallas behind a dominant offensive line with No. 1 receiver Dez Bryant drawing safeties out of the box."If JPP came to our team, we would instantly become a way better defense just because he is a big part of our defense," Amukamara said. "But he's not here now -- [we] can't really depend on somebody who is not here.Adrian Coxson, who was taken off the Green Bay Packers' practice field in an ambulance on Aug. 1, announced his retirement from football Monday, saying the "next hit to my head could possibly kill me or be life-damaging."

Chip Kelly's Sam Bradford gamble pays off in the form of a Super Bowl title, and Bradford cashes in as a free agent.So here you go. One bold prediction per NFL team, in alphabetical order, with my thinking behind it. You heard me.Oakland Raiders: I say Michael Crabtree, currently being drafted as WR58, finishes the season as a top-30 fantasy WR. My thinking: This will be a much-improved offense from last season. There's rookie Amari Cooper, and Latavius Murray and Derek Carr are playing their second seasons. Crabtree looks fully healthy to me, and this team will throw, throw, throw.

Told of the Steelers' comments, Gronkowski said Monday that "you have to be ready for anything."ralph lauren offersAs the regular season inches closer, it's time once again for my eighth annual "bold predictions" column.The "you heard me" premise works like this. Pretend we are having a conversation:Kansas City is still waiting for Fisher to make good on his insane draft pedigree. He was regarded by many as the best blocker of the bunch in 2013, topping a selection process that saw three tackles taken with the top four picks. Entering the third year of a four-year, $22.19 million deal, Fisher remains one of the league's most overpaid "stars."dress sneakers"[That's] definitely not a shot at JPP, but I am just worried about who we have in this locker room and who we have on the field. If he definitely comes today, we would instantly become a better defense.""There's opportunity every day in practice," Garrett said Monday, via the team's official website. "We're going to evaluate guys in practice, and if they show that they're worthy of being part of our roster on Sundays, we'll give them a chance to do that. If they're worthy of getting some opportunities to carry the football, we'll give them a chance to do that, as well."

Tebow would have had several months of practice time to draw from. But Kelly said Saturday that he didn't think the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner was ready.wholesale polo ralph lauren for kidsHawley was known as one of the team's toughest players, so that aspect will be sorely missed.

Wallace ended up with 862 yards and 10 touchdowns, good enough to be tied for 18th among wide receivers. So technically, I got it wrong. He was NOT a top-15 fantasy wide receiver. But considering he was going 35th among wideouts and returned top-18 value, fantasy owners got a bargain with Wallace, and he paid off for anyone who drafted him there. I count that prediction as a win, and if you're using this column correctly, so should you.

One of the buzzier New York Giants stories of cut-down day Saturday was the news that they had reached out to the Seattle Seahawks to see what it would take to trade for disgruntled safety Kam Chancellor. This is true. The Giants did make that call. The Giants desperately need help at safety, and with Chancellor holding out with three years left on his deal, a source tells me the Giants did call to see whether Seattle would move him and for what.dress sneakersTeams were concerned with the longevity of Gradkowski's career prior to the 2012 draft due to a knee issue, according to ESPN's Adam Caplan.Chicago Bears: I say Eddie Royal sets career highs in receptions, which is currently 91. My thinking: Jay Cutler will have to throw it to someone. He and Royal have a rapport from their Denver days, I don't think the Bears' defense will be any good and the receiving corps is all sorts of banged up ... and thin. Royal is one of my favorite sleepers this year.A veteran would have been more likely to be ready if pressed into action early in the season. Morris will need time to get comfortable running Kelly's up-tempo offense.Coach Mike Pettine said Manziel should be ready to go Sunday, "barring a setback."

"I think he's making the right decision," Herbst told ESPN on Monday. "His health is more important than football."

Months and months of slow-building rehab led to one appearance in a preseason game and now has him ready for Sunday’s regular-season opener against the New York Giants.wholesale polo ralph lauren for kidsWhen Robinson explains that Michael was asked to do more in Seattle's offense, he's hinting at a running back who struggled with footwork, reads and assignments in Tom Cable's zone-blocking scheme that asks backs to patiently wait for "dark creases" to open."You might see the great cut one time and then not the next, and it's the exact same scenario," Cable said last year. "He comes across and makes a great blitz pickup one play and then he's supposed to chip and then, 'Oh, I'm going to get out for my route, and oops I forgot to chip.' It's just being able to put a good play together and then a good one the next time and the next time. When that becomes his habit, then he owns it. Right now he doesn't own it."

“When I was out, I’ve always tried to somewhat mentally stay in that, preparing and being in some of the meetings, so I’ve done it a lot,” Lee said. “I think I’ll fall back into it, but it’s one of those deals where I’ve got to get back into it quickly and make sure my week and the work I’m doing is effective.”

My thinking: It's gonna be the Carlos Hyde show, and Bush is a much bigger name than the actual production he offers. A better pass-catcher on third down than he gets credit for, Hyde is not coming off the field as much as people think. Bush is injury-prone as well, and his role on the Niners is little more than running back depth at this point.Also for the Giants, linebacker Jon Beason returned to practice with a "thick brace" on his left knee, per the Daily News. The run-stuffer hasn't played since spraining his knee in New York's second preseason tilt."Unfortunately, I got hit in the head in practice and it was really bad for me," he said. "I couldn't describe how bad it is. I'm blessed to have my life right now. I'll see how things work out as far as my health, but my health isn't in tip-top shape right now because of the concussion."

Second, he'd cost a lot to acquire. Because the Seahawks (who traded for a safety Saturday in an effort to improve their depth and leverage) are willing to wait for Chancellor to crack, they're not going to unload him for nothing. This would cost two good picks, including a first-rounder. And as good as Chancellor is, I don't believe the Giants are at a point in their franchise history where it makes sense to be trading away high picks. Let's just say they're not Kam Chancellor away from this year's Super Bowl."There have been a couple phone calls from other teams, people just kind of wondering what's going on," Carroll said. "We really are not interested in talking to them about that, so we don't."wholesale polo ralph lauren for kidsThat's why a key matchup in the game is Gronkowski versus the Steelers' inside linebackers. Pro Bowler Lawrence Timmons has had success in man-to-man coverage, and second-year linebacker Ryan Shazier is a rangy defender in zone coverage.The Steelers will likely mix and match both looks.So again, please use this column as intended: to highlight players I have a strong feeling about one way or the other, to make you feel better about your own predictions and to subtly remind you that I have a premium fantasy football site called RotoPass.com, now with a fancy box to the right!The trade leaves the Browns with two running backs on the 53-man roster: Isaiah Crowell and rookie Duke Johnson, who has been sidelined since he was diagnosed with a concussion in the third preseason game Aug. 29.
