# Nathan Jahnke: An unsigned PFF preseason recap makes numerous depth-chart, roster and usage projections across the league, based on Week 3 preseason playing time — including Roman Wilson winning Pittsburgh's third receiver job, Luke McCaffrey's roster spot being in danger, Charlie Kolar as the Chargers' top tight end, and Kendre Miller as the Saints' RB2. **Claimed:** Aug 30, 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-takeaways-preseason-week-3/ 79 checkable claims — 43 depth chart calls, 32 roster spot calls, 1 fantasy bust call, 1 positional finishe, 1 sleeper call and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 104 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 18 of 79 have settled so far, averaging 77.8 out of 100, against 77.8 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 30 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 8 and below it on 22. > Roman Wilson appears to be the favorite for the Steelers' third receiver spot entering Week 1. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Bo Melton to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Bo Melton, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Van Jefferson to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Van Jefferson, Washington Commanders - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jonathan Mingo to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jonathan Mingo, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Tahj Brooks to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Tahj Brooks, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Feleipe Franks to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Feleipe Franks, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Ja'Tavion Sanders to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Ja'Tavion Sanders, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Brycen Tremayne to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Brycen Tremayne, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **C.J.
