Time for more offseason predictions. I found this piece and, although fantasy football-related, I thought it was an interesting idea.

What are some of your ceilings, floors, and predictions?
Ceilings and Floors: Minnesota Vikings
QB1: Kirk Cousins
CEILING: 32 TDs, 4,400 yards, Kirk likes that.
FLOOR: 24 TDs, 3,500 yards, and the loss of Diggs shows Cousins is just average.
PREDICTION: Cousins has been pretty consistent the last few years, and I expect 27 TDs, 4,000 yards. I don’t like him that much, but you could do much worse at QB.

RB1: Dalvin Cook
CEILING: Cook stays healthy again, and rumbles for 16 total TDs along with 1,900 total yards.
FLOOR: Injuries could make his floor fall out, but if healthy, 8 total TDs and 1,200 yards look like a lock.
PREDICTION: Cook showed up in 2019, and losing Diggs might mean more touches for the dynamic playmaker. I will take 12 total TDs and 1,500 yards please.
RB2: Alexander Mattison
CEILING: Mattison complements Cook and spells him periodically, scoring 5 total TDs along with 800 total yards. If Cook goes down, a 16 game season could look like 10 total TDs, 1,200 yards.
FLOOR: Mattison has to fight for touches, is underutilized, and Cook goes nuclear. 2 total TDs, 400 yards.
PREDICTION: Mattison looked solid in his limited role last year. Cook is the workhorse, but Mattison will vulture some value. 3 total TDs, 600 yards.

WR1: Adam Thielen
CEILING: Thielen relishes the spotlight as the primary option, and responds with 10 TDs and 1,500 yards.
FLOOR: Thielen needs other weapons to keep the pressure off him, and regresses in a big way. 4 TDs, 800 yards.
PREDICTION: Big year for Thielen, he isn’t getting younger and he lost his running mate. I think 6 TDs, 1,000 yards is in the picture.
WR2: Justin Jefferson
CEILING: Jefferson carries last season’s momentum into the NFL, and vaults into WR1 for Minnesota. 10 TDs, 1,200 yards.
FLOOR: Jefferson takes a while to adjust, and struggles without a Heisman throwing him the ball versus college DBs. 3 TDs, 400 yards.
PREDICTION: Jefferson will have every opportunity to have a big year. I think by the end of the year he has it figured out. I will take 7 TDs and 1,100 yards.
WR3: Olabisi Johnson
CEILING: Johnson embraces WR3, He scores 5 times and adds 600 receiving yards.
FLOOR: 200 yards and 2 TDs, a regression from 2019.
PREDICTION: Johnson doesn’t jump off the page to me. I see WR3 as his ceiling, and WR5 as his floor. 2 TDs, 300 yards.
CEILING: Thielen relishes the spotlight as the primary option, and responds with 10 TDs and 1,500 yards.
FLOOR: Thielen needs other weapons to keep the pressure off him, and regresses in a big way. 4 TDs, 800 yards.

TE2: Irv Smith
CEILING: The offseason hype on Smith has been big. He lives up to the call, scoring 9 TDs along with 850 yards.
FLOOR: The hype was hollow, and Irv strikes a nerve with his fantasy owners, scoring 2 TDs along with 300 yards.
PREDICTION: I like Smith’s potential, but Rudolph impedes his growth towards an elite option. I still see 4 TDs and 600 yards.
