I said in another thread that I enjoy those threads where we all can go back and see how wrong we were. So lets do it for the 2018 season, we all have those takes that we're sure of. A few years ago we had the CJA would be the RB1, plenty of people willing to cast doubts on Barkley this year. So step up and plant your flag. What's your hot take? what position are you ready to be out there bold calling for everyone to give you props or laugh at you next year?

My Flag Planted
1. Barkley will be ranked dynasty RB1 in 2019
2. Ebron will finish as a Top 7 TE
3. Joe Mixon will finish as an RB1
4. Deshaun Watson will finish outside the top 10 of QBs

All flags planted assume standard PPR scoring.

1. Ty Montgomery will be the highest scoring GB running back.
2. Mark Ingram will outscore Alvin Kamara.
3. The top scoring WR will NOT be one of AB, OBJ or Nuk.

Go big or go home. Can't wait to see how this bumps in a year, haha.

1) Saquon Barkley & Carlos Hyde produce eerily similar numbers, both finishing (barely) among the top 10 RBs.
2) Kareem Hunt produces over 2000 yards from scrimmage, leading the league.
3) Julio Jones has a "bounce back" season, finishing as the #1 fantasy WR.
4) Mitch Trubisky sees meteoric rise, finishing as a top 10 QB in 2018.
5) Re-emergence of Randall Cobb with 80+ receptions and over 1,000 receiving yards.
