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.ralph lauren outlet saleJets coach Todd Bowles does not expect rookie wideout Devin Smith (ribs) to play Sunday against the Browns."You could imagine how I felt that day. In a split-second, something can happen, anything can happen. You walk outside and, God forbid, something can happen.He said the entire ordeal has been "tough," adding the "most disappointing part is not being able to practice and play. Everything else takes care of itself. I'm not putting my mind in a place where it shouldn't be."ralph lauren polo saleNo preseason games, no problem. That's the word from New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.No player can truly know whether they can handle a full season until they go through it.That would be running back DeAngelo Williams, who's now a father of three after the birth of a baby boy on Friday.
Pittsburgh Steelers: I say Heath Miller, currently being drafted as TE19 in the 14th round, scores more fantasy points than Jason Witten, currently being drafted as TE6 (in the seventh round), does. My thinking: I'm sort of cheating here. Miller had more receptions, more yards and just two fewer targets than Witten last season. Witten had two more touchdowns, but touchdowns are fluky. Honestly, with Martavis Bryant suspended four games and Le'Veon Bell suspended for two, there will be more opportunities for Miller early on.Panthers defensive tackle Star Lotulelei watched Monday's practice in shorts as he continues to deal with a "stress reaction" in his surgically repaired right foot, per Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer. Ryan Kalil (knee) also missed the session, but the veteran center said last week that he expects to play in Sunday's opener against the Jaguars.calvin klein canadaArian Foster's rehab is ahead of schedule and will be back "sooner rather than later," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Monday.Jason Pierre-Paul returned to the New York Giants on Monday to meet with the team and take a physical, a source confirmed to ESPN's Josina Anderson.In a mild surprise, the New York Jets' final round of cuts Saturday included quarterbacks Matt Flynn and Josh Johnson, according to sources. Both performed well in the final preseason game as they battled for what appears to be a short-term No. 2 job.
ralph lauren polo saleMiami Dolphins: I say that currently injured rookie wide receiver DeVante Parker ends up with the most fantasy points among Dolphins pass-catchers this season. My thinking: Odell Beckham Jr. has taught us you don't need to play in Week 1 to make an impact. I love Jarvis Landry this season but see him running more short routes like he did last season, with Parker becoming the deep threat and No. 1 WR. His talent is off the charts. He just needs to get healthy, and he's getting close.ralph lauren polo saleTennessee Titans: I say Delanie Walker is a top-five fantasy tight end. My thinking: Walker is a nice, big red zone target for a rookie QB while Dorial Green-Beckham gets up to speed. Walker has been a top-10 guy with much worse QB play. He is my favorite later-round TE this year. See? Weird. Lotta tight ends this year in bold predictions.How bout dem Cowboys , Dallas here I come.Jordan Mills (@JordanMills_67) September 7, 2015ralph lauren outlet saleHouston Texans: I say Arian Foster is a top-10 running back this season, in total points. My thinking: As of this writing, we don't know how much time Foster will miss, just that he suffered a bad groin injury at the start of camp and there were varying timetables for his return. We've heard rumors he'll return by the end of September, but that hasn't been confirmed. So my belief is that those rumors are true, that because of the fantastic shape he was in when he got hurt, he will heal a bit quicker. He missed three games last season and still finished as a top-five fantasy running back. So given his talent and workload, top-10 is easy. That's not the bold prediction part; it's the health. That's a gut call more than anything, but so is a lot of this column. Foster has at least one great season left in him. And something to prove."Some games I get jammed the whole game, some games I never get jammed. So when we go out there and practice, we practice everything -- getting jammed, not getting jammed, how to get off it, a little move. Whatever comes, I have to be ready, go out and perform," he said.
Finally, it's worth noting that the Giants or any team acquiring Chancellor would have to do something about his contract, right? He's not all of a sudden going to show up in New Jersey and be happy about the same contract he has right now in Seattle. To get Chancellor, the Giants would have to fork over two high picks -- say a first and a third -- and tear up Chancellor's contract and replace it with a new one that reflects the top of the safety market ($10 million per year). That's a hefty price and a major commitment to one player by a team with a ton of short-term and long-term needs all across its roster.calvin klein canada"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."
So here you go. One bold prediction per NFL team, in alphabetical order, with my thinking behind it. You heard me.

When asked about his limited reps, Williams said they won't be limited Thursday.buy ralph lauren australiaBuffalo Bills: I say Tyrod Taylor, currently being undrafted, is a top-15 fantasy quarterback. My thinking: They'll need to generate offense somehow, and Taylor, while raw, has the running and passing combo that equals fantasy goodness. He has more than 100 yards rushing and a score in the preseason; people forget how good a fantasy QB Tim Tebow was, and Taylor is much better than Tebow. If he's even halfway competent, he'll keep the job all season. You heard me.Pierre-Paul had his right index finger amputated in July and underwent surgery to repair fractures in his right thumb following the fireworks accident. The five-year veteran is prohibited from signing a long-term contract until after the 2015 season concludes.Coach Chip Kelly said Saturday that he would add a third quarterback, either on the roster or on the practice squad. By claiming Morris off waivers, the Eagles placed him on their 53-man roster.Bucky Brooks: Seahawks over Colts. The Seahawks pummel Andrew Luck and Co. behind an impressive effort from the Legion of Boom. Sticky coverage from Richard Sherman and Cary Williams allows the defensive line to beat up Luck in the pocket. With the spectacular passer unable to find his rhythm, the Colts fall apart in the second half.
Colleen Wolfe: Colts over Packers. Quarterbackpalooza. Set your DVRs for all the quarterback goodness in this game. Aaron Rodgers plays well; Andrew Luck plays better. Indy wins it all and Luck captures his first title.

Gradkowski played three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens and started all 16 games in 2013.
Atlanta Falcons: I say Julio Jones has the best fantasy football season for a wide receiver in the history of the NFL. My thinking: Well, I wanted to do a bold prediction for the guy I already have ranked No. 3 among wideouts, so there you go. But with no run game to speak of and a defense that should struggle, Atlanta should be throwing early and often. Playing the "X" in Kyle Shanahan's offense, there's a very good chance Jones leads the NFL in targets and, with Matt Ryan as his QB, a very good chance he catches most of them.ralph lauren outlet saleLinebacker Jasper Brinkley was released to make room for Mills, per the team's official website.Baltimore Ravens: I say 90 receptions, 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns for Steve Smith Sr., who hasn't reached all three of those levels since 2005. My thinking: The Frank Gore of the receiving world, Smith will not die. As Rudy Tomjanovich once said, never underestimate the heart of a champion. That's Steve Smith, who will go out with a bang in his final season. It helps that he has a very fantasy-friendly coordinator in Marc Trestman, who will keep a lot of Gary Kubiak's scheme (which worked well for Smith last season), and there is not a lot of competition for targets on the Ravens.To help at the position, the Browns signed Austin Davis, who started eight games for the St. Louis Rams last season, and placed rookie cornerback Charles Gaines on the short-term injured reserve list -- meaning he'll be eligible to play after Week 8.ralph lauren polo saleSafety Mike Mitchell said Gronkowski is the best tight end in the world, but added, "He has success when people don't put their hands on him."The Browns lack skill-position talent at every position on offense, but their O-line is considered one of the league's best. They'll need to prove themselves without Moeller to start 2015.For now, it leaves rookie Bryce Petty as the backup to starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. The only other quarterback on the roster is Geno Smith, who is recovering from a broken jaw.
