# Nathan Jahnke: An unsigned PFF preseason snap-count review that draws depth-chart, roster-spot and fantasy conclusions from the first week of preseason games — naming starters and backups across nearly every team, flagging sleepers such as Keaton Mitchell, Tyjae Spears, Jahan Dotson and Greg Dulcich, and fading players like Mike Gesicki, Pat Freiermuth, Gunnar Helm and Cam Skattebo. **Claimed:** Aug 16, 2026 **Pundit:** Nathan Jahnke — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/nathan-jahnke **Outlet:** Pro Football Focus — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/pro-football-focus **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-preseason-week-1-recap-immediate-takeaways-2026/ 41 checkable claims — 25 depth chart calls, 7 sleeper calls, 4 fantasy bust calls, 4 roster spot calls and 1 positional finishe — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 62 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 3 of 41 have settled so far, averaging 66.7 out of 100, against 66.7 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 19 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 5 and below it on 14. > Love started this game, suggesting he is already ahead of Allgeier on the depth chart. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
