Fantasy Football: 5 Bold Predictions for Week 2
By Jon Dove
Week 1 of the NFL Season was great and we saw some surprises now we can look at some bold fantasy football predictions for Week 2.
Last week my predictions didn’t go so well as I hit on only two of my bold predictions. The fantasy football world is a crazy beast with all sorts of surprises popping up around the corner. However, it’s always fun to go out on a limb and make some predictions.
It was very bold of me to predict that Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Rodgers would struggle in week 1. However, they both had tough matchups and the setting was for a down performance.
Rodgers did have a terrible start to the game against the Chicago Bears. His injury almost helped my prediction come true. Unfortunately for Bears fans, Rodgers came out after half time and put on his Superman cape.

Mike Wallace having a big game was another one of my failures. However, I didn’t expect Nick Foles to have such a terrible performance. Foles looked very hesitant and uncomfortable in the pocket.
On a positive note, James Conner had a huge day scoring some major fantasy points. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t hold anything back and used him just as the would’ve Le’Veon Bell. It appears that we could expect the same thing for Week 2.
Andy Dalton had himself a solid game and provided passable fantasy numbers. His interception early in the game wasn’t his fault. He saw his throwing motion interrupted by an offensive lineman getting pushed right into his body.
Dalton was able to quickly rebound from the turnover and help lead his team to victory.
