I love bold predictions. I have always had two schools of thought on this. Bold predictions could happen. A long-shot, sure, but still possible. Hot takes are even more unlikely to happen.

Corey Clement (RB, PHI) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~125 CURRENT ADP: ~140 ANALYSIS: Owners continue to invest in Jay Ajayi and, for the life of us, we will never understand why.

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP: ~185 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki may be just the rookie tight end to hype, something that is very rare in fantasy football.
