Part of drafting a successful fantasy football team is predicting what each player will do this season. Will Player A rush for 1,000 yards? Will Player B have 80 receptions? Will Player C throw for 40 touchdowns? The fun thing about preparing for your fantasy football draft is projecting out how you see things going and then watching the season unfold to see how right, or heaven forbid, how wrong, you were.

Well, the staff here at Fighting Chance Fantasy want to share with you our projections for the upcoming season and that means it's time for our annual Fighting Chance Predictions Extravaganza! We will share with you not only how we see the NFL seasonal standings shake out, but also provide you with some fantasy predictions.

While it used to be just a few of us who played the part of Nostradamus, we have now grown to become a site full of brilliant NFL/fantasy minds. We want to show off that brilliance and include as many as we could with our predictions. One thing I would like to ask of you, dear reader. When you see a prediction from someone that you either really love...or really hate, make sure to let them know! We want to hear your feedback, so feel free to let us know on Twitter how you feel! Here is where you can find us.
