# Nathan Jahnke: In their preseason Week 1 fantasy reactions, Jahnke argues Jonathon Brooks will handle the bulk of Carolina's rushing work and be the more valuable back over Chuba Hubbard, sees Jeremiyah Love ahead of Tyler Allgeier in Arizona, warns off Cam Skattebo at their ADP, expects the Pollard/Spears split to narrow, and places several rookie receivers on their teams' depth charts. **Claimed:** Aug 17, 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-preseason-week-1-reactions/ 7 checkable claims — 7 depth chart calls — 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 7 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 4 and below it on 3. > That type of split would likely make Brooks the more valuable fantasy back of the two. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Matthew Golden to be 4th on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jonathon Brooks, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Caleb Douglas to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Caleb Douglas, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jeremiyah Love, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Malik Washington to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Malik Washington, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Isaiah Bond to be 4th on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Isaiah Bond, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Omar Cooper to be 4th on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Omar Cooper - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Matthew Golden — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/matthew-golden - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Jonathon Brooks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jonathon-brooks - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/panthers - Caleb Douglas — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/caleb-douglas - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/dolphins - Jeremiyah Love — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jeremiyah-love - Arizona Cardinals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cardinals - Malik Washington — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/malik-washington - Isaiah Bond — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/isaiah-bond - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/browns - Omar Cooper — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/omar-cooper ## What others said about the same people - Rich Eisen on Myles Garrett: Discussing Myles Garrett's trade request, Eisen said they expect Garrett to get their way and be moved out of Cleveland rather than stay, which is why staying would be shocking. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b61b90d2-d027-4022-b57a-d30ac36f21bc (scored 100) - Bill Huber on Green Bay Packers: Huber argues Green Bay has no excuses left and will beat New England in Foxborough, and expects Christian Watson to play despite their rib injury.
