# Nathan Jahnke: PFF's fantasy recap of a Broncos-Chiefs Week 1 game makes several forward-looking calls about roles: Dobbins ahead of Harvey in Denver's backfield, Waddle finishing ahead of Pat Bryant in receiving production, Bryant surpassing Sutton, Engram's tight-end value, and Walker/Johnson's roles in Kansas City. **Claimed:** Sep 15, 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-broncos-recap-chiefs-week-1/ 7 checkable claims — 7 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 9 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 1 and below it on 6. > While it wouldn't be surprising if Bryant surpasses Sutton in receiving production this season, it would be surprising if he finishes ahead of Waddle. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Emmett Johnson to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Emmett Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **RJ Harvey to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: RJ Harvey, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kenneth Walker III to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Kenneth Walker III, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jonah Coleman to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jonah Coleman, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Courtland Sutton to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **J.K.

He is unenthusiastic about the Falcons' offense either way and treats Bryce Young as a fringe fantasy starter. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/124ac755-a942-4382-8bad-177da7f8170d (scored 0) - Bradley Locker on Carson Wentz: PFF's unsigned adjusted power rankings after Week 1 of the 2026 season place the Bills first, the Rams second and the Dolphins last, with notes on quarterback situations in Seattle, Minnesota and Cleveland. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a3716f21-0488-4fc8-a414-c25c2d781a6e (scored 100) --- 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.
