# Jordan Dajani: Co-authored CBS Sports' offseason roster rankings, ordering NFL teams from No. 32 through No. 17 based on projected starting lineups, plus various depth-chart and outlook claims about those rosters. **Claimed:** Aug 25, 2026 **Pundit:** Jordan Dajani — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jordan-dajani **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2026-nfl-roster-rankings-32-17/ 28 checkable claims — 25 depth chart calls, 1 player season number, 1 positional finish and 1 power ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 40 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 23 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > Below, CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani and Tyler Sullivan examined every team's roster and attempted to rank the starting lineups around the league. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Luke Fortner to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Luke Fortner, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jauan Jennings to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jauan Jennings, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brian Robinson to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Brian Robinson, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **Fernando Carmona to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Fernando Carmona, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Addison to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tytus Howard to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Tytus Howard, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - “Here are their first rankings, from No. 32 to No. 17. 32.
