30 Fantasy Football Bold Predictions for the 2017 Season

Ted Ginn Jr. Will Finish as a Top-30 Wide Receiver

Why This Is Bold: Fantasy owners despise Ted Ginn Jr. He's also a 12th-round draft selection.

Why This Will Happen: The Saints have vacated targets with the Brandin Cooks departure, which should help other pass-catchers on the team, but it also allows for Ginn to step into an interesting situation right away. He played first-team snaps during the team's first preseason game, too, so the opportunity continues to look golden.

Ginn also fits with what the Saints and Drew Brees do perfectly. We know he's a deep ball, vertical threat, and Brees has ranked first, third, second, first, fourth, and second over the last six years in yards compiled on passes that travel 15 or more yards through the air.

An attainable 15% market share in the Saints offense -- a number hit by 57 wide receivers last year alone -- would bring him close to 100 targets given New Orleans' pass-heavy tendencies. And getting 100 targets out of a Drew Brees wide receiver is money. Even if he drops a handful of them.
