NFL Predictions Week 6: Predicting A.J. Green and Top 4 Receivers

A.J. Green, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall and Dez Bryant will put up big numbers through the air.  Each of these receivers have been playing at a high level, at times looking unstoppable.  In order for their teams to earn a victory, these receivers will need to be productive.

A.J Green

The Bengals rookie wide receiver A.J. Green has looked like a seasoned veteran.  He has used his athletic ability to make some spectacular plays.  His relationship with fellow rookie Andy Dalton has proven to be very strong.  These two players have brought a lot of hope to the Bengals franchise.

Green has also been benefiting from the play of running back Cedric Benson.  Benson's ability to run the football has drawn coverage away from Green.  Today's game against the Colts should provide Green with plenty of playmaking opportunities.

The Colts really struggle to stop the run, forcing them to put more men in the box.  This is going to provide Green with a ton of single coverage chances.  Green will have a big game, likely approaching 100 yards and a touchdown.

Calvin Johnson

The San Francisco 49ers have struggled to stop big-time wide receivers.  They have have allowed both Miles Austin and DeSean Jackson to have big performances.  Today, they will try to slow down Calvin Johnson, something that has proven to be a very tough task.

Johnson has found a way to make plays, despite gaining a ton of defensive attention.  The 49ers ability to stop Calvin Johnson could very will be the deciding factor in today's game.

Brandon Marshall

Brandon Marshall's has vowed to play with more emotion, even to go as far as declaring he would be ejected from Monday night's game.  The one thing that Marshall has proven is that if he is motivated he is virtually unstoppable.

The Dolphins need a spark and will likely feed Marshall the ball early and often.  He could easily have five or six receptions in the first quarter.

Dez Bryant

If the Dallas Cowboys want to beat the New England Patriots, they will need to throw the football.  Dez Bryant is Tony Romo's biggest playmaker, meaning he will get plenty of targets.  He is also facing a New England defense which ranks dead last in pass defense.
