Over the last three weeks, the Chargers defense has allowed an opposing running back to rush for at least 100 yards and at least one touchdown in every game. Mike Boone will continue to rotate in, but less frequently than Gordon did with a healthy Javonte Williams.įor Week 6 specifically, the Broncos are heading to Los Angeles for an AFC West battle with the Chargers on Monday Night Football. Though the team did add Latavius Murray, he’s nearly 33-years old and should act as depth more than anything. I fully expect Gordon to see the bulk of the backfield workload moving forward.

The bold predictions won’t always have a 100% success rate but do provide a well-educated guess for the ceiling each player can achieve each week.īe sure to follow all of these bold predictions and more on Twitter and on Instagram! We believe they have a chance to help win you the week and put up big numbers. These weekly bold predictions are meant to tip the scale in favor of the players below. It’s undeniable, though, that you will run into a few lineup decisions that could make or break your week this season. You’re going to start your studs of course week in and week out. Sometimes it’s a good thing, other times it can ruin your week. While the four touchdowns is a pleasant surprise, predicting Kelce to have just 25 receiving yards, with how often he scored, goes right in line with the unpredictability I’m speaking to. While we put in the work and research to make quality bold predictions, sometimes the way things go are simply unpredictable! A good example of this is Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce’s, stat line from Monday night: Seven receptions for 25 yards and FOUR touchdowns. Shakir did log 75 yards exactly and find the end zone…but needed just three catches to do so.


I have to give a shout out to Reese Jones, though! His bold prediction, that Buffalo Bills wide receiver, Khalil Shakir, would catch six balls for 75 yards and a score was nearly dead-on. After a good chunk of success in the first four weeks, we came back down to Earth. Accountability is important because it will only make us work harder. Week 5 is the worst collection of bold predictions from our Fantrax writers this season.
