Week 5's bold predictions were a mixed bag. Some, like predicting Alshon Jeffery would struggle, went well. Some, like touting Deonte Thompson, backfired spectacularly. To review:
Jeffery caught 3 of 4 targets for 31 scoreless yards against Patrick Peterson and the Arizona Cardinals, failing to finish as a top-50 wide receiver in both point-per-reception (PPR) and standard, non-PPR leagues.
Not only was Deonte Thompson not a top-24 receiver, but he wasn't even targeted once. To make matters worse, the Chicago Bears cut him the day after the game. Oops.
Randall Cobb wasn't a top-5 wide receiver last week, but this prediction was made before Davante Adams was cleared to play in the game. While Cobb didn't have a strong outing, Adams did finish inside the top-5 at his position last week.
Let's get into this week's predictions.
