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 FantasyPros’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.

D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
Some believe that Kyle Monangai will replace Swift as the Bears' starting running back this season. However, there is nothing to suggest that it will happen.
James Cook to outplay his draft cost (ADP 9.6 | RB 5)
I happily draft him as the third running back off the board, easily ahead of Christian McCaffrey.
Rico Dowdle to be 1st on the depth chart
While he will split the work with Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh, Dowdle should be the lead guy on the ground.
Chase Brown to finish top 7 at his position, by fantasy points
fantasy players should expect another top-seven finish in 2026
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
Don't be surprised if Brooks takes the starting role from Chuba Hubbard sooner than later
Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost (ADP 59.8 | RB 26)
Price has a chance to be a massive steal at his current ADP, especially given how he stood out during training camp.
Quinshon Judkins to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Judkins could be a top-12 running back this season, especially after the Browns improved their offensive line.
Jordyn Tyson to fall short of his draft cost (around pick 135)
His fantasy football ADP has tumbled all the way down into the 12th round, around pick 135. Hopefully he can come back healthy, but risk-averse managers are looking elsewhere.

Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
Mendoza will need to speed up his mental process and deliver more accurate passes in order to usurp Kirk Cousins on the depth chart any time soon.

Darius Slayton to make the roster
If he can’t fit into this new offensive scheme, he will be cut as New York attempts to reach the 53-man roster limit. The longest-tenured player on the team could be shown the door.
Darius Slayton to make the roster
New York Post beat reporter Paul Schwartz made the point that “financial considerations are not going to save Slayton” at this point.
Makai Lemon to be 3rd on the depth chart
he looked tentative and appears to be listed behind Dontayvion Wicks and Marquise Brown on the Eagles’ depth chart
Makai LemonPhiladelphia Eagles
Michael Pittman to be 1st on the depth chart
Pittman could be Pittsburgh's top-passing game weapon, especially if DK Metcalf's mystery injury impacts his performance.

Chris Olave to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
Moreover, if second-year quarterback Tyler Shough and the offense take a step forward, Olave could see a few more touchdowns and reach his ceiling of a top-five finish in scoring at the position.
Harold Fannin Jr. to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
When it’s all said and done, Fannin is likely a low-end TE1 in 2026.
Justin Jefferson to outplay his draft cost (1.12)
if we see a bump to a similar range for Jefferson and his catchable target rate increases, then Jefferson should be fine
CeeDee Lamb to outplay his draft cost (1.12)
if you're happy to believe 2025 was a blip rather than the new normal, it becomes easier to see him as a value here
Saquon Barkley to outplay his draft cost (1.12)
With a new offensive coordinator and a healthy offensive line, it's not hard to start seeing positives for Barkley.
Ashton Jeanty to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
It's not hard to imagine a world where Jeanty is a top-five fantasy performer.
Brock Bowers to fall short of his draft cost (1.12)
Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn't really matter here. Neither should be drafted quite this highly.
De'Von Achane to fall short of his draft cost (1.12)
Players to Avoid at 1.12 Fantasy Football Draft Pick ... De'Von Achane (RB – MIA) ... without Tua Tagovailoa, his numbers in the receiving game could dip significantly
Trey McBride to fall short of his draft cost (1.12)
Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn't really matter here. Neither should be drafted quite this highly.
Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost (1.12)
One player available at this spot with undeniable upside is Ashton Jeanty.
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
thankfully, Kyler Murray will start the year at quarterback
Saquon Barkley to be 1st on the depth chart
He's the undoubted RB1 on an offense that is going to score points
