# Mike Harmon: Harmon values Ashton Jeanty as only an RB2 now that Zamir White/Washington is eating into the Raiders backfield, and he expects Jameis Winston to remain the Giants' starting quarterback rather than the newly acquired J.J. McCarthy. **Claimed:** Oct 4, 2026 **Pundit:** Mike Harmon — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/mike-harmon **Outlet:** Fox Sports Radio (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fox-sports-radio-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.omny.fm/d/clips/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/551c44d9-d7e8-4da3-bacd-ae2e0038717f/207d5ded-4f89-4860-89a0-b4d900a808ea/audio.mp3?in_playlist=be0668fc-1028-4ce5-80eb-ae2e00387188 2 checkable claims — 1 depth chart call and 1 positional finishe — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > I mean, he's an RB back in RB two for me. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jameis Winston to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jameis Winston, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ashton Jeanty to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: too vague to check ## Who this take is about - Jameis Winston — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jameis-winston - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Ashton Jeanty — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ashton-jeanty - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders ## What others said about the same people - Gregg Rosenthal on New York Giants: Rosenthal's under picks and a few freebie leans: Colts under 7.5 (possibly the worst team), Commanders under 9.5, Saints under 5.5 (possibly 2-15), Bears under 8.5, plus stated likes on Dolphins under 8.5, Giants over 5.5 and Ravens over 11.5. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3f529d87-3976-4268-b793-c31075d71d04 (scored 0) - Danny Parkins on Las Vegas Raiders: Filling in for Colin Cowherd, Parkins gave over/under picks for all 32 NFL teams for the 2025 season, plus specific win-total projections for several clubs. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8fb10c9f-9ceb-4be5-a8eb-c15baf405f23 (scored 0) - Nick Wright on Las Vegas Raiders: Nick Wright gave his early AFC win-total leans: overs on the Jets, Ravens, Jaguars, Chiefs and Raiders, plus projected win ranges for the Dolphins, Texans, Chargers and Broncos, and predicted the Raiders take Ashton Jeanty at No. 6. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cc9d1905-c3e9-4d7f-8dbb-0f840dbb7535 (scored 0) - Kyle Crabbs on Sam Brown: Crabbs projects all seven rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft, starting with Cam Ward going No. 1 overall to Tennessee, Travis Hunter second to Cleveland and Abdul Carter third to the Giants. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e8a40874-e85c-44ec-a4c8-b6f0edbd22d2 (scored 0) - Joshua Schulman on Las Vegas Raiders: Schulman picks Las Vegas to hand Kansas City its first loss, expecting Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty to exploit a Chiefs defense he believes will be exposed. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/924a6708-33e0-4e60-97a3-4fb98ce00f1d (scored 0) - Brooke Cersosimo on Las Vegas Raiders: Picked winners and exact scores for every Week 4 game, including the Bears over the Jets, the Cowboys in the Battle for Texas and an upset of the Chiefs by the undefeated Raiders. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7717b6ff-86ce-4cda-b192-202b3b80c3c7 (scored 47.62) ## More depth chart calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Mike Moraitis on Tyson Bagent: Previewing the Bears-Packers Week 5 matchup, he states Tyson Bagent will again start at quarterback for Chicago, while framing Green Bay's receivers, pass defense and return game as threats.
