# Rich Hribar: In his Week 1 Broncos-Chiefs fantasy preview, Hribar sets weekly fantasy tiers for the key skill players — Mahomes as a floor-based QB2, Nix on the QB1/QB2 line, Kenneth Walker as an RB1, Harvey an RB3/FLEX, Waddle an upside WR2 who leads Denver in targets, Rice a floor-based WR2/WR3, Sutton a WR3/FLEX, Worthy a WR4/FLEX and Kelce a TE1 — and projects several Kansas City defensive starters. **Claimed:** Sep 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Rich Hribar — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/rich-hribar **Outlet:** Sharp Football Analysis — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sharp-football-analysis **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/chiefs-broncos-week-1-fantasy-football-preview-nfl-worksheet-rich-hribar-2026/ 12 checkable claims — 6 depth chart calls and 6 positional finishes — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 13 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. > This move pushes Walker into the RB1 field, though Josh Simmons missing Week 1 and the Denver matchup limit the odds of a ceiling outcome to open the year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Alohi Gilman to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Alohi Gilman, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Nohl Williams to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Nohl Williams, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jaylen Waddle to finish WR2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Jaylen Waddle, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashee Rice to finish WR2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **J.K.
