30 Fantasy Football Bold Predictions for the 2017 Season
Kenny Golladay Will Be the Top Scoring Rookie Wide Receiver
Why This Is Bold: Golladay -- no, sorry, Babytron -- was a third-round selection in the NFL Draft, and would have to beat out players like Corey Davis and Zay Jones to become the top scoring rookie wideout in fantasy football this year.
Why This Will Happen: With a light wide receiving depth chart, Golladay has instant opportunity to become the number-three guy right away. And, really, it intuitively makes sense to place him in the X receiver role while Marvin Jones and Golden Tate move to their more natural flanker and slot roles, respectively.
But even if Golladay doesn't see the field often right away, the Lions were fourth in the NFL in three-wide sets last season, meaning he should see at least a decent amount of action. And at 6'4'', 218 pounds, he could be a big red zone threat for Matthew Stafford and company.
