# Nathan Jahnke: PFF's fantasy football preseason recap projects depth-chart outcomes, roster spots and fantasy value for numerous players across several preseason games, including Chig Okonkwo's expanded role in Washington, Ja'Kobi Lane as Baltimore's WR3, Malachi Fields winning the Giants' starting X job, and Zachariah Branch being a fantasy bust relative to their late-round cost. **Claimed:** Aug 22, 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-takeaways-preseason-week-2-saturday/ 31 checkable claims — 26 depth chart calls, 2 roster spot calls, 2 sleeper calls and 1 fantasy bust call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 39 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 2 of 31 have settled so far, averaging 50 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 23 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 21. > That usage suggests Okonkwo and Bates are well ahead of Sinnott on the depth chart, while Okonkwo is positioned for a significant increase in playing time compared to his tenure in Tennessee. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
