Nathan Jahnke#72 of 87 NFL pundits · Aug 6, 2026

A PFF piece names five late-round running backs (16th round or later ADP) as sleepers with paths to expanded fantasy roles in 2026, led by Keaton Mitchell, who they say has top-10 upside at the position if they approach De'Von Achane's production.

How each call scored

11 checkable claims — 6 depth chart calls, 4 sleeper calls and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
