This season’s hot takes come in three flavors: medium, hot, and atomic. We’re breaking down three bold predictions that could make or break your fantasy football team.
Courtland Sutton is poised to have a career year in 2025, with Pro Football Focus predicting he’ll exceed 1,200 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns if quarterback Bo Nix improves. With an elite offensive line and new additions like Evan Engram and RJ Harvey, Denver’s offense is primed for success.
However, the Bears’ passing attack looks bleak, with Caleb Williams struggling to process plays in Ben Johnson’s offense. The team added tight end Colston Loveland, who could cut into targets for DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze, making them unappealing fantasy options at their current prices.
The biggest bold prediction of all comes from Ja’Marr Chase, who could become the first player in NFL history to reach 2,000 receiving yards in a single season. With Cincinnati’s extreme pass-happy tendencies and a lousy defense, Chase is set for a massive season.
While these predictions are high-risk, they have the potential to pay off big time. Will Sutton exceed expectations? Will the Bears’ passing attack collapse under pressure? Can Chase break through as a 2,000-yard receiver? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: only the bravest (or most foolhardy) fantasy owners will attempt to ride these atomic hot takes all the way to victory.
