10 bold predictions for the 2018 fantasy football season

9. Allen Robinson will lead the Bears will have at least 10 touchdowns
Fantasypros is projecting Robinson to score around five receiving touchdowns. I’m doubling down and predicting he tops the 10-touchdown mark. The Bears aggressively pursued Robinson in free agency signing him to a deal that guaranteed him over $25 million in a three year period.
That type of investment means that the Bears see Robinson as a No. 1 receiver. He is going to get plenty of targets and be a major part of the game plan.
In 2015, Robinson was a huge red zone threat pulling down 14 touchdowns. He did this with shaky quarterback play and an offense that wasn’t overly creative nor explosive. Things are expected to be different in Chicago.

Matt Nagy is calling the plays and is known for putting his playmakers in good position. Mitch Trubisky is still a bit of an unknown, but comes with major upside.
Robinson’s size and aggressiveness makes him the ideal receiver to work with a young quarterback. He’s going to out battle and out muscle defensive backs in contested situation. His career has already featured a ton of acrobatic catches.
The one concern here is that the Bears have more weapons than expected. Trey Burton, Anthony Miller and Taylor Gabriel have all shown some promise during preseason.
