The Baltimore Ravens are months away from starting the 2021 NFL season. However, bold predictions are already being set for players around the league.

On Wednesday, CBS Sports analyst Jason La Canfora assembled a list that he dubs “NFL 2021 fearless forecasts.” Among the 19 predictions, Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is featured on the list and predicted to lead the AFC in rushing yards.
