We’re going into the last weekend before the NFL season. It’s going to be a huge fantasy drafting weekend. I myself have three leagues yet to draft. One being our Platinum league here on MrFantasyFreak.com; which will NOT be one of the four leagues Alex predicted he will win this year in his 40 bold predictions article. One draft will be Tuesday... the night before the season starts. I’m stoked.
This is the time many fantasy writers are giving you bold predictions which we may be able to go back and brag on or choke on humble pie. Here I will simply give you by postion my predictions on who finishes the season as the top player, the bust, and the sleeper.

The Ravens needed to get down to 53 players. They did just that Friday night.
Once again the Ravens elected to keep two quarterbacks by cutting Curtis Painter. Painter showed a few things in his playing time during the preseason, but the Ravens obviously feel Tyrod Taylor is the better option to back up Joe Flacco.

The Ravens apparently aren’t done tweaking their roster. The team has agreed to sign former Patriots safety James Ihedigbo, according to the player’s Twitter account.
The move hasn’t been made official so I don’t know the specifics of who the Ravens let go to get Ihedigbo on the roster.

The Ravens have fallen behind the St. Louis Rams in their final (hooray!) preseason game in the first quarter.
Sam Bradford led the Rams on a drive from under the shadow of his own field goal posts. The drive was aided by a long pass play in which Jimmy Smith fell down in coverage.
On the next Ravens’ offensive possession Tyrod Taylor lost a fumble.
The Ravens are down 14-0 in the first quarter.
