# Nic Bodiford: 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.

5 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls and 1 positional finishe — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 3.

> If healthy, he should be treated as the top candidate to lead the team in rushing attempts right away.
