# Nathan Jahnke: A PFF fantasy article names five wide receivers — Rashee Rice, Davante Adams, Courtland Sutton, Jakobi Meyers and Wan'Dale Robinson — as players being drafted for past production who should decline and not return value at their consensus ADPs. **Claimed:** Aug 26, 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-wide-receivers-to-avoid-in-2026-drafts/ 4 checkable claims — 3 fantasy bust calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. 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 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > The wide receivers featured in this article are being drafted as though they will replicate their recent production. However, there are legitimate reasons to expect a decline in fantasy output. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Davante Adams to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 4.12)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Carnell Tate, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jakobi Meyers to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 10.09)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Jakobi Meyers, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashee Rice to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 3.03)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Davante Adams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/davante-adams - Los Angeles Rams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/rams - Carnell Tate — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/carnell-tate - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/titans - Jakobi Meyers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jakobi-meyers - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Rashee Rice — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/rashee-rice - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/chiefs ## 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.

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.
