2. Dorian Thompson-Robinson scores at least 15 total touchdowns

In the first month of play, Dorian Thompson-Robinson accounted for 11 total touchdowns. He had nine passing scores and two rushing touchdowns and he’s going to have a huge month of October with 15-plus total scores.

Thompson-Robinson looks like he has turned the corner as a starting quarterback and you have to feel good for him seeing as it’s taken four years for him to really settle in. He is off to his best start with 919 passing yards and nine touchdowns with one interception. He showed promise last season with 12 touchdowns to just four picks and a 65 percent completion rate and he’s continued that in 2021.

We’re going to see him really put the offense on his back in the month of October with well over 1,000 passing yards and 15 total touchdowns. He might even throw 15 touchdown passes and add a couple more scores on the ground.

Big month approaching for DTR.
