Takes in each band
Everyone writing under this banner, pooled into the numbers above. Counted by article, with a paginated series counting once — the same rule used for an individual, from the published methodology.
Teams and players where CBS Sports’s writers keep landing outside the room: at least twice, a call published under this banner sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is the banner’s standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.

Deshaun Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
even if it's not deemed enough for him to start Week 1, there's a good chance we see both quarterbacks play significant snaps in 2026
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
which is another sign the Raiders will probably roll with Cousins in their opener against the Dolphins.
Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
With Mendoza facing a steep learning curve, it doesn't seem like he's done enough to take the job from Cousins.
Colston Loveland to finish top ? at his position, by receiving yards
it's starting to feel like he could emerge as one of the top tight ends in the NFL this year
Braxton Jones to be 1st on the depth chart
Based on how the reps were divvied up Thursday, it's starting to feel like this is Jones' job to lose. He got most of the first-team reps during practice and performed well... Jones feels like the favorite right now
Aaron Donald to move to Los Angeles Rams
When asked if he expects to see Donald play for the Rams in 2026, McVay provided a wide-mouthed smile. When asked if he expects to see Donald play in the month of September, McVay flashed a grin that displayed nearly every tooth in his mouth.
Seattle Seahawks to beat Chiefs
Chiefs (First loss: at Seahawks in Week 7)

Joe Burrow to move to Cincinnati Bengals
Verdict: Exile ... My sentence to Burrow is exile, which might be fitting given last year's cryptic comments. Exile worked out pretty well for Matthew Stafford from Detroit.
Travis Hunter to be 1st on the depth chart
The apparent plan for this season is for Hunter to be a full-time cornerback and the No. 3 receiver.
Jacksonville Jaguars to beat Cleveland
Jacksonville opens the season Sept. 13 at home vs. Cleveland and is a 7.5-point favorite. ... I seriously doubt they lose
Travis Hunter to be 3rd on the depth chart
The apparent plan for this season is for Hunter to be a full-time cornerback and the No. 3 receiver.
The full list is right here , but this is how the middle of the rankings shook out: 20. Seahawks DT Leonard Williams 19. Chiefs DT Chris Jones 18. Lions QB Jared Goff 17. Chargers S Derwin James 16. Bears G Joe Thuney
