# Brian Peacock: Peacock predicts Stribling won't produce much fantasy volume as a rookie in 2026 but becomes a starting outside receiver long term, sees fourth-rounder Ephesians Prysock making the roster as depth rather than starting, and thinks Jaden Duggar may end up a practice squad player. **Claimed:** May 5, 2026 **Pundit:** Brian Peacock — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/brian-peacock **Outlet:** Locked On 49ers (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/locked-on-49ers-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/f9f75c/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/0a6076b9-74e2-4b01-846e-5cc0d0b8031c/episodes/806c4fec-882c-4cae-91ae-88a3721a3577/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0a6076b9-74e2-4b01-846e-5cc0d0b8031c&awEpisodeId=806c4fec-882c-4cae-91ae-88a3721a3577&feed=P83yLSb_ 3 checkable claims — 2 roster spot calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 2 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 50 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > So I think expectations for volume, statistically, for your fantasy football team should probably not be super high for Daejeon Stribling *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Ephesians Prysock to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Ephesians Prysock, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Jaden Dugger to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jaden Dugger, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **De'Zhaun Stribling to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: De'Zhaun Stribling, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Ephesians Prysock — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/ephesians-prysock - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Jaden Dugger — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jaden-dugger - De'Zhaun Stribling — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/de-zhaun-stribling ## What others said about the same people - Tom Jensen on Sebastian Valdez: Jensen projects the 49ers' final 53-man roster ahead of the August 30 cutdown, naming a long list of players he expects to be released outright, another group he expects to be cut and return on the practice squad ("boomerang cuts"), and three borderline players (Jordan James, Jacob Cowing, James Thompson Jr.) he believes San Francisco will keep. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/30bfad12-5ff9-49d2-8849-9df9b47a054d (scored 0) - Parker Hurley on Jaden Dugger: Reviewing 49ers rookies after the first preseason game, Hurley says linebacker Jaden Dugger has secured a spot on the roster after starting at MIKE. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/633eccb2-2e55-4252-832c-74f8ad98cbdb (scored 100) - Grant Cohn on Ogbo Okoronkwo: Cohn expects Nick Bosa to start and play heavily at defensive end in the season opener against the Rams despite knee tendinitis, with Keion White also starting at defensive end (moving inside to tackle on third down), and predicts the 49ers will call up veteran Ogbo Okoronkwo from the practice squad for the game. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/a2029952-7f5b-46c3-8531-0b2eaa516239 (scored 0) - Parker Hurley on James Thompson: Hurley projects the San Francisco 49ers' 17-man practice squad, naming specific players at each position he expects to land on it (with a few either/or spots). — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/67e61dba-ee2d-4c4b-ae3b-f0e9a744cd6c (scored 0) - Parker Hurley on Nick Bosa: Hurley says Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams and Romello Height are certain to make the 49ers' roster, while the fourth edge spot remains unsettled. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/51ad1f3e-8222-402d-93d4-3151b828f3ee (scored 100) - Jose Sanchez on Jacob Cowing: Sanchez says the preseason opener hurt several 49ers: he expects Christian Kirk and Jacob Cowing to be cut, Nick Martin to be off the team (possibly traded to the Titans), and he sets De'Zhaun Stribling as the No. 3 receiver with Demarcus Robinson No. 4. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/219f274f-6c63-44e0-a95e-72f2c0f2cf4d (scored 0) ## More roster spot calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Thomas Martinez on Patrick Herbert: Martinez projects the Chargers' starting lineups on offense and defense for their Week 3 game at Buffalo, with injuries forcing several changes — Oronde Gadsden II at tight end, Trevor Penning at left guard, Jamaree Caldwell at defensive tackle and RJ Mickens at safety — while expecting Ladd McConkey to play and Marquez Valdez-Scantling to debut. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/bcc0c9e2-6313-45af-bc99-f1cd46806da6 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Jake Haener: Sullivan expects the Giants, thin at quarterback after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee injury, to elevate Jake Haener from the practice squad for Week 3. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/eb928ca7-b6fd-41e7-8b48-b38e4f64ce09 (scored 0) - Ethan Hurwitz on Jeremiah Pharms Jr.: Hurwitz writes that the elevations of Jeremiah Pharms Jr. and Mike Brown likely mean Leonard Taylor III stays a healthy scratch and Joshua Farmer could be one too for the Week 3 game at Jacksonville, and that both elevated players will revert to the practice squad after Sunday. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/fc98ac5c-1a8e-4462-94fa-993b02c52d00 (scored 0) - Randy Gurzi on Reddy Steward: Gurzi predicts the Cowboys' 17-man practice squad, naming each player he expects Dallas to sign, including a surprise addition of released Giants tackle Evan Neal.

The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
