# Nathan Jahnke: PFF's fantasy rankings place Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs as the No. 1 overall player, ahead of Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey, and list Rams receiver Puka Nacua as the top wide receiver. **Claimed:** Aug 31, 2026 **Pundit:** Nathan Jahnke — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/nathan-jahnke **Outlet:** Pro Football Focus — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/pro-football-focus **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-cheat-sheet-printable-rankings-for-any-league-format/ 2 checkable claims — 1 fantasy ranking and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Jahmyr Gibbs takes the top spot *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - “Jahmyr Gibbs takes the top spot: The Detroit Lions running back ranks ahead of Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey” - Kind: Fantasy Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Puka Nacua to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Puka Nacua — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/puka-nacua - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams ## What others said about the same people - Colin Cowherd on Matthew Stafford: Cowherd predicts Matt Stafford stays with the Rams rather than moving on, and says Travis Hunter may underachieve because they're being asked to play both ways — Cowherd doubts they're a No. 1 receiver and would slot them as a No. 2 receiver while being a No. 1 corner. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/005e6ad1-bc95-49da-9db2-3a9da2d5041d (scored 100) - Colin Cowherd on Matthew Stafford: Cowherd believes Matt Stafford's public negotiation posturing means he ultimately stays in Los Angeles, and he flags Travis Hunter as a high draft pick who could underachieve because trying to play both cornerback and receiver full-time will hurt him. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/2c1faeb3-7adb-456d-bd42-275be95269e8 (scored 100) - Pete Prisco on Los Angeles Rams: Prisco gives score predictions for every Week 9 NFL game, picking the Bengals to rout the Falcons in Madrid, the Cowboys to rebound at Indianapolis, and the Jaguars to win in Baltimore without Lamar Jackson. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/dc43909b-bc7f-47aa-b208-5cf7c95844bc (scored 92.86) - Chris Simms on Los Angeles Rams: Simms gave a predicted final score for every Week 9 game, picking the Bengals, Chiefs, Broncos, Lions, Giants, Rams, Cowboys, Saints, 49ers, Patriots, Seahawks, Texans, Bears and Bills, and also said they wouldn't be shocked to see Jacksonville reach the AFC Championship Game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/17eb747a-90b1-472f-bb6d-e71c0c69133a (scored 92.86) - Connor Rogers on Los Angeles Rams: Rogers picked straight-up winners in every Week 9 game, agreeing with Simms on all of them, and gave a 24-20 Bills score over the Vikings on Monday night. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/11646f69-18dd-4831-a7de-e4115ded875c (scored 100) - Jordan Dajani on Los Angeles Rams: Dajani picked all seven featured Week 9 games with final scores, including a blowout Jaguars win in Baltimore, an Atlanta upset of Cincinnati in Madrid, and a narrow Bills win in Minneapolis. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/103d86e2-5305-4b84-af26-05220db83778 (scored 92.86) ## More fantasy rankings The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Andrew Erickson: Erickson gave their own Week 3 running back ranks, high on Jordan Mason as an RB1 and relatively positive on Pacheco and Skattaboo, and predicted Kenneth Walker would out-snap Zach Charbonnet this week. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0c89878e-cd1b-4a9f-bf81-6c671a90147e (scored 77.93) - Rich Hribar: Hribar published their post-NFL Draft top-60 rookie fantasy rankings for the 2020 season, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire vaulting to No. 1 ahead of Jonathan Taylor and J.K.
