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 Sharp Football Analysis’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.

Aaron Jones to fall short of his draft cost (outside of the RB1 range in ADP)
That makes it tougher to bet on landing a big hit from team RB1 picks (per ADP) going later in Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren, Chuba Hubbard, Rachaad White, and Aaron Jones
TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost (the RB2 dead zone)
If we are paring down that initial list with overlap as pass catchers, Love, Skattebo, and Henderson are the best bets.
Tony Pollard to fall short of his draft cost (outside of the RB1 range in ADP)
That makes it tougher to bet on landing a big hit from team RB1 picks (per ADP) going later in Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren, Chuba Hubbard, Rachaad White, and Aaron Jones
Breece Hall to outplay his draft cost (the RB2/dead-zone range)
If looking at veteran backs currently going in the RB2/dead-zone range, Breece Hall and D'Andre Swift are the guys with a viable pass-catching resume to this point.
Rachaad White to fall short of his draft cost (outside of the RB1 range in ADP)
That makes it tougher to bet on landing a big hit from team RB1 picks (per ADP) going later in Tony Pollard, Jaylen Warren, Chuba Hubbard, Rachaad White, and Aaron Jones
Cam Skattebo to outplay his draft cost (the RB2 dead zone)
If we are paring down that initial list with overlap as pass catchers, Love, Skattebo, and Henderson are the best bets.
Kirk Cousins to be 1st on the depth chart
While it seems like Kirk Cousins will start in Week 1, 2026 should be about developing Fernando Mendoza.
2026 NFL Power Rankings: Best NFL Teams — Power Rank Team ... 1 Los Angeles Rams ... 32 Miami Dolphins
Kyler Murray to be 1st on the depth chart
I remain relatively high on the Vikings with Kyler Murray as the expected starting quarterback
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the division
The Bucs will hope for better from a healthy Baker Mayfield, and they are likely the best team in the NFC South.
Seattle Seahawks to make the playoffs
While I'm not betting on Seattle to miss the playoffs... While I don't expect them to miss the playoffs, it's more than reasonable to see a path in which they are battling for a Wild Card berth late in the season with many other fringe playoff teams.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba to finish top 1 at his position, by receiving yards
We still fully expect Smith-Njigba to lead Seattle in targets and for this passing game to run through him again
Tier 1 Fantasy Football WRs: Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaxon Smith-Njigba — We are starting with the four players who I believe have the best odds at finishing as this year's WR1 overall.
St. Brown is my favorite first-round fantasy pick this season after Jahmyr Gibbs , Bijan Robinson , Ja'Marr Chase , and Puka Nacua .
Penei Sewell to be 1st on the depth chart
Penei Sewell is expected to move over to left tackle following the release of Taylor Decker.
Christian Mahogany to be 1st on the depth chart
Christian Mahogany is still an expected starter this season.
Blake Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
First-round pick Blake Miller, out of Clemson, will take over at right tackle.
Tier 1 Fantasy Football RBs: Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson ... I am edging slightly towards Gibbs ... That is why I ultimately side with Gibbs when holding the first pick in drafts.
Cade Mays to be 1st on the depth chart
Detroit signed Cade Mays from Carolina to take over at center.
Josh Allen to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
We are opening with the player who has the highest odds of finishing as the QB1 in overall scoring.
Tier 1 Fantasy Football QBs: Josh Allen
Tier 1 Fantasy Football TEs: Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Colston Loveland
Jacoby Brissett to be 1st on the depth chart
Brissett remains the starter as an added positive
Trey McBride to fall short of his draft cost (the second round of non-TE Premium drafts)
they are why I would suggest he is not someone I would pull the trigger on in the second round of non-TE Premium drafts... Even with McBride having the best odds to run the most routes again, I am not drafting him at his current cost
Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart
I am entering the season expecting to see Carson Beck start games in 2026, and we could even see Gardner Minshew for a spell as a bridge to Beck.
