# Jake Ciely: Seely fades Malik Nabers (WR13) and Justin Jefferson (WR12) over health and quarterback questions, is lower on DeVonta Smith and Brian Thomas Jr., and is aggressive on Marvin Harrison Jr., Wandale Robinson, Ricky Pearsall, Deebo Samuel and Chimere Dike; they also expect Jake Tonges to be a top-20 tight end. **Claimed:** Mar 1, 2026 **Pundit:** Jake Ciely — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/jake-ciely **Outlet:** FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast/2026-fantasy-football-wide-receiver-rankings-and-tiers-ep-1966 9 checkable claims — 9 positional finishes — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 15 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the rest of the room on every one. > So I just say, as of right now, I'm gonna put him at thirteen. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Malik Nabers to finish top 13 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Malik Nabers, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **DeVonta Smith to finish top 26 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brian Thomas Jr. to finish top 40 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Marvin Harrison Jr. to finish top 32 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Wan'Dale Robinson to finish top 33 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Wan'Dale Robinson - Verdict: not settled yet - **Deebo Samuel Sr. to finish top 44 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Deebo Samuel Sr. - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jake Tonges to finish top 20 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Jake Tonges, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ricky Pearsall to finish top 31 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Justin Jefferson to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Malik Nabers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/malik-nabers - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - DeVonta Smith — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/devonta-smith - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Brian Thomas Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/brian-thomas-jr - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Marvin Harrison Jr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/marvin-harrison-jr - Arizona Cardinals — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/cardinals - Wan'Dale Robinson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/wan-dale-robinson - Deebo Samuel Sr. — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/deebo-samuel-sr - Jake Tonges — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jake-tonges - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Ricky Pearsall — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ricky-pearsall - Justin Jefferson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/justin-jefferson - Minnesota Vikings — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/vikings ## What others said about the same people - Parker Hurley on Khalid Kareem: Hurley predicts the 49ers will release Khalil Kareem when Nate Hobbs is activated and cut Brandin Cooks when C.J.
