# Nathan Jahnke: PFF's preseason fantasy recap makes a large number of depth-chart, role and fantasy-value calls across the league, including Chig Okonkwo as a top sleeper tight end, Tre Tucker as the Raiders' top receiver, and various backfield hierarchies. **Claimed:** Aug 24, 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-2-recap-2026/ 59 checkable claims — 41 depth chart calls, 12 roster spot calls, 3 positional finishes, 2 fantasy bust calls and 1 sleeper call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 85 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 6 of 59 have settled so far, averaging 83.3 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 37 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 8 and below it on 29. > Tucker appears to be the clear option at this point. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -

Chris Simms on Kansas City Chiefs: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia. He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/662b7ba3-1bf6-4ad0-9f93-9f2ab83143fd (scored 100) - Connor Rogers on New York Giants: Rogers picked Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle and the Giants to win their Week 3 games, saying the Chiefs win by two touchdowns and the Giants by a field goal. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/83d1e88b-95a0-45ba-83d3-f86297170c6c (scored 100) - Chris Long on Cincinnati Bengals: Long liked the Rams over the Broncos on Sunday night even without Puka Nacua, and expected the Bills to beat the winless Chargers in Buffalo. He also backed the Bengals over the Steelers, expected an angry Detroit team to handle the Jets, and still thought both the Lions and Vikings could win the NFC North. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3df9ea25-e57f-4fd7-b20c-c910a1c3633a (scored 0) - Steven Ruiz on Las Vegas Raiders: Previewing Week 3, Ruiz picked the Ravens to beat the Cowboys in Brazil, Jacksonville over New England in a low-scoring game, an upset by the Broncos over the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears, the Lions over the Jets, and his Hail Mary that Houston beats Indianapolis by two touchdowns. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a30ff469-4972-4c48-855b-ba984e4de9d0 (scored 100) - Nate Tice on Baltimore Ravens: Tice matched his guest on every Week 3 game, picking the Ravens over the Cowboys, the Jaguars over the Patriots in a close game, the Broncos to upset the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears and the Lions over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b8378e16-ea5c-4107-a883-28aaf0e71134 (scored 100) - Chris Simms on Green Bay Packers: Simms picked the Packers to beat the Falcons in the Thursday night game by a low score, expecting a defensive struggle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b12420c5-837c-4a24-8a8e-c74b10cc697c (scored 9.52) ## More depth chart calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Emmett Matasovsky on Christian Izien: Matasovsky says Dobbs is currently leading the backup quarterback race and suggests Christian Izien may be pressed into a starting safety role in Week 1 while Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph rehab. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9715ee92-1646-4ee4-8911-e3e4cbae9027 (scored 0) - Jared Dubin on Daniel Faalele: Dubin grades the Faalele trade, predicting Faalele has a decent chance to be Jacksonville's Week 1 starting right guard in competition with Wyatt Milum, and that Evan Neal's odds of making the Giants' 53-man roster improved while Jon Runyan and Francis Mauigoa hold the Giants' starting guard jobs. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/aae46267-fc6d-44c1-a96c-7355b3db857b (scored 0) - John Shipley on Patrick Mekari: Shipley projects second-year cornerback Jabbar Muhammad to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster and describes him as the team's clear No. 5 cornerback, a role that would earn him a game-day jersey. He also identifies Patrick Mekari, Walker Little and Ezra Cleveland as projected Week 1 offensive line starters. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/dd093e7d-3a57-4ecb-ae09-af7eadfb15b0 (scored 0) - Bradford Banta on Taylor Decker: Banta predicted Taylor Decker will return for an 11th season and be the Lions' left tackle, and expects Kelvin Sheppard to remain the Lions' defensive coordinator for a second year and eventually become an NFL head coach. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/2f421870-0054-42e7-830f-8bcd7291a9f6 (scored 91.67) - Jerry Ostroski on Dion Dawkins: Ostrowski insisted Dion Dawkins will remain the Bills' left tackle and will not be moved inside to left guard. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e254023a-db0f-405a-a8a1-f5145c1c8294 (scored 100) - Gregg Rosenthal on Wyatt Teller: Rosenthal unveils his ranking of the top 101 free agents of 2026, headlined by Malik Willis at No. 1, George Pickens second and Jaelan Phillips third, and running all the way down to Jadeveon Clowney at No. 101. He also expects Quincy Williams to sign in Tennessee, thinks Wyatt Teller will start somewhere in 2026, and wouldn't be surprised if David Onyemata is picked up by Dennis Allen's defense. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/4ca3c765-a025-4d97-9298-8e37a332a313 (scored 91.67) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
