Like I said, I don't think it will happen, but there are leagues where you can lose points for fumbles, fumbles lost and sacks.
That would mean that Campbell would have to lose about 32 points because of fumbles, fumbles lost and sacks. (that's based on my league) Will it happen? Probably not, but it's not impossible...@$$
All that said, just because they have projections doesn't mean that they don't consider things like upside, so maybe ESPN thinks Rodgers has more upside next season than Campbell.
I used to like this guy, but if you're going to correct people, you'd better be sure you're right. He makes his disdain for ESPN pretty clear before he gets into the article, but some of his points were a little weak.

impossible you say?
what about rodger's 43 tackles, or campbells 14 fumbles?
improbable is more like it.
