3 Bold NFL Predictions for Week 7

DeShone Kizer Will Be a Top-12 Quarterback

Why This Is Bold: DeShone Kizer was benched in Week 5's loss and was demoted to second-string behind Kevin Hogan for last week's game. Kizer ranks just 31st in fantasy points per game among quarterbacks, in part due to his two mid-game benchings.

Why This Will Happen: The Cleveland Browns seem to realize that they're stunting Kizer's development and affecting his confidence by wavering in their trust in him. Kizer should get a full game to show what he's capable of this week against the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans are a fantastic get-right matchup for Kizer -- they rank 29th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. The 0-6 Browns are underdogs once again and should have to throw the ball to catch up. Kizer has actually performed relatively well fantasy-wise in games he's started and finished.
