Nic Bodiford· Aug 25, 2026
A PFF rookie-tracking piece projects Miami third-rounder Caleb Douglas as a potential Week 1 starter and No. 1 wide receiver, with Chris Bell challenging him for the top target share; it also sees Cyrus Allen as at least the Chiefs' No. 4 receiver, Emmett Johnson as Kansas City's No. 2 running back, and Jadarian Price leading Seattle in rushing attempts if healthy.
“If healthy, he should be treated as the top candidate to lead the team in rushing attempts right away.”
