To celebrate the kickoff of the ESPN Fantasy Football Marathon, this week NFL Nation reporters will be giving their fantasy predictions for the top offensive players on the teams they cover.Todd Archer's prediction: Under. Bart Starr JerseysPrescott is using training camp to test his boundaries in risk-taking this summer, but when it comes to real games, he won't take unnecessary risks. He has too many receivers who can win early on routes. Will he go lower than last year's interception total of four? No, but he will have fewer than nine.
Archer's prediction: Over. The Cowboys were mindful of Elliott's snaps as a rookie and would have been mindful of them had he played a full season. If the six-game suspension is upheld and the courts do not get involved, Jordy Nelson Jerseysthen the Cowboys will not worry about Elliott's snaps. The Cowboys have a lot of weapons offensively, but Elliott is their best. Given that he will have fresh legs when he rejoins the Cowboys in late October, Clay Matthews Jerseysoffensive coordinator Scott Linehan will make sure to get him the ball as much as possible over the final 10 games.
Archer's prediction: Over. He had eight last season and missed three games. Eddie Lacy JerseysHis connection with Dak Prescott improved, especially late last season. The days of him catching 80-90 passes a season could be over, but Bryant remains a huge red zone threat and he is hard to stop after the catch. Oh, and he's healthy this season.
Archer's prediction: Under. Witten had just three last season in his first year of work with Dak Prescott, but it's hard for him to put up big touchdown numbers because of the Cowboys' other weapons. The best red zone teams run the ball into the end zone. and the Cowboys will have Ezekiel Elliott when he returns from suspension. Prescott rushed for six touchdowns last season, as well. Randall Cobb JerseysThen there's Dez Bryant, who is often a mismatch on the outside against corners. I can't go with the over, but I think Witten will have five on the dot.
