# Jake Ciely: Seely sees Egbuka as a fringe WR1/2, agrees on fading Rashee Rice, pegs Ashton Jeanty as only a back-end RB1, is bullish on Harold Fannin Jr. (81 catches, ranked behind LaPorta but ahead of Pitts), views Tyler Shough as a QB2 with roughly 3,700-3,800 passing yards, loves Quentin Johnston (approaching 900 yards and nine TDs), has Javonte Williams as RB13, and projects Carnell Tate for over 1,000 yards and six scores. **Claimed:** Aug 8, 2026 **Pundit:** Jake Ciely — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jake-ciely **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast/8-players-fantasy-football-projections-love-draft-values-for-2026-ep-2116 14 checkable claims — 7 player season numbers, 3 positional finishes, 2 sleeper calls, 1 fantasy bust call and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 14 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 3. > I am in on Quinton Johnston. I have him higher. I have him over eight hundred yards ... approaching nine hundred yards, and I have him approaching nine touchdowns. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver forty two ADP overall one oh six)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **I go laporta fan and pits** - Kind: Fantasy Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quentin Johnston to record 900 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to record 1,000 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Carnell Tate, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to record 6 receiving tds** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Carnell Tate, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quentin Johnston to record 9 receiving tds** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - 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 - **Tyler Shough to record ? rushing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Harold Fannin Jr. to record 81 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Shough to record 3,800 passing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Shough to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: too vague to check - **Harold Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft cost (tight end, five in ADP overall sixty four)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashee Rice to fall short of his draft cost (ADP Wide Receiver eleven ... overall ADP twenty nine)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Javonte Williams to finish top 13 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Javonte Williams, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Quentin Johnston — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/quentin-johnston - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Carnell Tate — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/carnell-tate - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/titans - Ashton Jeanty — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ashton-jeanty - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/raiders - Tyler Shough — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/tyler-shough - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/saints - Harold Fannin Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/harold-fannin-jr - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/browns - Rashee Rice — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rashee-rice - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Javonte Williams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/javonte-williams - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cowboys ## What others said about the same people - 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 Kansas City Chiefs: 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) - 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 Las Vegas Raiders: 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) - Sam Monson on Los Angeles Chargers: Monson picked the Chargers to beat the Bills outright (jokingly crediting Buffalo's gray 'Nickel City' jerseys), took the Vikings to win outright in Tampa, and said Seattle would destroy Washington.

He also takes the Browns to upset the Bengals and believes Myles Garrett gets at least two sacks to break the single-season record. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5a026afc-40fe-4b1f-b209-3ce53ae205d7 (scored 0) - Shannon Sharpe on T.J.

Watt over 3.5 tackles+assists, adding that Watt will get two sacks. He also predicted Rico Dowdle would make the Pro Bowl this season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1fbc5b8e-7449-41f4-a5a2-7029cc4ef65e (scored 0) - Rich Eisen on Micah Parsons: Eisen made a series of picks: Micah Parsons will out-sack any two Cowboys combined (after initially leaning the other way), the NFC North is more likely to produce a Super Bowl team than the NFC East, Eagles wins will outnumber Cowboys losses, Bo Nix/Courtland Sutton will out-touchdown Cam Ward/Calvin Ridley, and Marvin Harrison Jr./James Conner will beat Kamara/Olave in yards and TDs.
