Summary

It’s to make sure your heart hasn’t taken you too far in the wrong direction, whether it be raising a player up your board that you like or moving one down that you dislike.There are some who’ve worked on models for years where it spits out projections based on them, but what I do is go through each team individually, look at the past tendencies of the head coach, offensive coordinator, look at what they’ve done with their personnel and how it may affect the way they approach the game, as well as player benchmarks.Projections aren’t a perfect process, because there are some opinions inserted, but it’s a much better gauge than simply sitting down and putting names in order, because that’s nothing but opinion. I projected the Panthers wide receivers for a massive 394 targets, though none of them came out higher than WR18 in the projections. If there’s a team that can churn out three top-36 wide receivers, it’s the Bengals, who I have projected for 644 pass attempts. Initial projections came in Chase WR21, Higgins WR24, and Tyler Boyd WR38.Cleveland Browns: For as good as Nick Chubb is and projecting him to average 5.0 yards per carry with 10.5 rushing touchdowns, he still comes in as the RB10 due to the presence of Kareem Hunt. Not a single wide receiver eclipsed 85 targets in the projections, which is certainly problematic for someone like Henry Ruggs. Even projecting him at wide receiver, he’d come in at No. 11 on that list.Los Angeles Chargers: If there’s one player who shocked me while going through projections, it was Ekeler popping up as the RB8. It certainly helps that he’s one of just two running backs (Christian McCaffrey being the other) projected for 100-plus targets, but it’s also important to note that I only projected him for 200 carries. The exit of Gerald Everett has allowed Tyler Higbee to get into the 90-100 target territory, which netted him TE10 in my initial projections.Miami Dolphins: Despite bumping the Dolphins pass attempts to 621 for this 17-game season, I can’t find more than 105 targets for any one pass catcher in this offense, which is problematic for stability on a week-to-week basis, though Will Fuller and Jaylen Waddle should be valued over DeVante Parker, who wound up at WR62 in my initial projections. I know they were both top-12 last year, but Thielen caught 14 touchdowns on 74 receptions, something that’s not happening again.New England Patriots: They’re the only other team I’m waiting to do projections on (Texans were the other), as the difference in offense run with Cam Newton and Mac Jones is night and day, so we need to pay attention to this battle as the offseason progresses.New Orleans Saints: As of now, I’m preparing for Jameis Winston to start for the Saints, though Taysom Hill will steal some attempts, along with a lot of goal-line work. Even projecting him at 152 targets, he came in at WR7. Even projecting Jones to take a massive leap and finish with 26 passing touchdowns, I couldn’t get Kenny Golladay into the top-20 wide receivers in projections. I want to like Miles Sanders, especially with Hurts under center, but everything the Eagles have done under Nick Sirianni screams timeshare, so I had to cap him at 215 carries and 59 targets which landed him at RB18 in the projections. Aiyuk can certainly get there by scoring eight-plus touchdowns, but I just can’t project him there.Seattle Seahawks: Russell Wilson may be boring, but there’s a reason he’s continually finishing as a top-10 quarterback, including five top-six finishes over the last seven years. Tyler Lockett came in at WR17 in the projections, but he’s not someone I’d draft there, as he’s much more volatile than you’d want your WR2.Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The good ol’ reliable Tom Brady checked in at QB9 in the projections, which is a projection I feel good about, though I can’t say the same about the running backs in Tampa Bay. I have them projected for 381 carries, which broke down like this: Ronald Jones 178, Leonard Fournette 147, Giovani Bernard 42, and Ke’Shawn Vaughn 14. It’s possible they all share the targets (and my projections highlight exactly that) and limit the appeal of all of them, which would mean none finish as a top-24 option.Tennessee Titans: The loss of Arther Smith changes everything for this offense, as they ranked No. 31 and No. 30 in pass attempts during the two years under him. Anthony Firkser was someone who could’ve flirted with 80-plus targets, but the arrival of Jones curbs our enthusiasm.Washington Football Team: It’s easy to say you love Antonio Gibson going into 2021, but it’s another thing to look at the projections and figure out where his production will come from.
