If I had to do 5 I would put Kittle (TE #8) because I'd rather have the above guys later, the Achilles injury and Tonges (TE) playing well and also extended by SF.
Sleepers!
Just going from QB to TE, no order here
1. Ok so for QB it's just kinda odd I would just take one of these in like the 3rd to last round in a standard 1QB league.

Hot Takes/Bold Predictions
1. Jonah Coleman, Mike Washington Jr., Kaytron Allen, and Demond Claiborne will outscore Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price on a per game basis.
2. The top 3 WRs in the 2021 Draft Class will all finish as Top-10 wide receivers in Half-PPR this season and each will beat out where they were drafted from (Ja'Marr Chase #5, Jaylen Waddle #6, and DeVonta Smith #10).
3. If you miss out on the top guy at the onesie positions (QB + TE) don't worry the middle option is still just as good, Jalen Hurts (PHI) will outscore Drake Maye (NE) and Joe Burrow (CIN) and Tyler Warren (IND) will outscore Tre McBride (ARI) and Colston Loveland (CHI) in 0.5 ppr on a per game basis.
4. San Francisco 49ers miss the playoffs and have a top 10 pick.
5. One of, if not both, New York teams win 10+ and the division this year.
6. The Steelers finish last in the division and go 0-6 in their games inside the AFC North.
7. The best rookie WR on the Browns will be Denzel Boston who will have at least 200 more yards and 5 more TDs than KC Conception.
8. "The Age of the 25' Draft Class WR is over, the time of 25' Class RB has come"
- All three of the top "sophomore" WRs (Tetairoa McMillan, Luther Burden III, and Emeka Egbuka) do not live up to their ADP.
- Bayshul Tuten, Dylan Sampson and Jordan James all finish at least 10 spots higher than their ADP.
9. The Bengals will nearly double their sack total from last year, recording at least 60 sacks, finish top 5 and at least two player will have more sacks than Dexter Lawrence.
10. One of the two teams that have never won an MVP and have never made it to the Super Bowl do both this year (HOU and JAX).
Bonus Meme (because it fits with my earlier one too much): Both former and current Jets coaches, Aaron Glenn and Robert Saleh are fired early in the season and their respective teams win at least double the amount of games they had won when the coaches were fired.
