# Pat Fitzmaurice: Fitzmaurice recommends buying Harold Fannin Jr., predicts the Browns will bench Deshaun Watson for Shedeur Sanders, and suggests selling Chuba Hubbard as Jonathon Brooks' usage grows. **Claimed:** Sep 16, 2026 **Pundit:** Pat Fitzmaurice — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/pat-fitzmaurice **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/09/fantasy-football-players-to-buy-low-sell-high-in-week-2/ 3 checkable claims — 1 depth chart call, 1 fantasy bust call and 1 sleeper call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > It won’t be long before the Browns bench Watson for Shedeur Sanders, who might not be good but clicked with Fannin last year. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chuba Hubbard to fall short of his draft cost** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Harold Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Shedeur Sanders — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/shedeur-sanders - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/browns - Chuba Hubbard — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/chuba-hubbard - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/panthers - Harold Fannin Jr. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/harold-fannin-jr ## What others said about the same people - Mike Florio on Shedeur Sanders: Florio reports the Browns will start Deshaun Watson in Week 1 but predicts Shedeur Sanders will likely be the starting quarterback by Week 3. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cf6258b2-b55f-4f50-84f9-24269a5a006a (scored 0) - Paul Keren on Teven Jenkins: Keren says Teven Jenkins still projects as Cleveland's Week 1 starting right guard despite a push from KT Leveston, and that Carson Schwesinger and Quincy Williams will be the Browns' lead linebackers. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/86b36112-724c-4f9c-a4fd-cf74a38be8e4 (scored 0) - AJ Hawk on Carolina Panthers: AJ Hawk picked the Ravens over the Colts, Carolina to beat Chicago outright, the Bills at Houston, the Bengals over Tampa Bay, the Titans over the Jets, the Raiders over Miami, the Packers at Minnesota and the Cowboys over the Giants. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/74f9146c-d27f-4851-b8a4-4103d043308f (scored 0) - Brady Quinn on Carolina Panthers: In the show's Week 1 picks-against-the-spread segment, Quinn took the Steelers over the Falcons, the Panthers at home over the Bears, the Bengals over the Buccaneers, the Texans at home over the Bills, and the Cowboys on the road over the Giants. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/696da78f-ea04-4f40-9242-4fb9a3f93d91 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Carolina Panthers: An unsigned CBS Sports piece flags five Week 1 underdogs as upset candidates: the 49ers over the Rams in Melbourne, the Texans over the Bills, the Panthers over the Bears, the Jets over the Titans, and the Broncos over the Chiefs on Monday night. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cd6c3269-8c90-4044-9c48-0b1fc3537699 (scored 0) - Conor Orr on Cleveland Browns: Orr's Week 1 straight-up picks, including several upsets (Patriots, Buccaneers, Browns, Dolphins, Commanders, Broncos). — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/54ae8d21-7621-4c3d-816c-e879aed9b5c2 (scored 0) ## More depth chart calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Tyler Sullivan on Drew Lock: In an unsigned Week 2 odds roundup, the piece states that with Sam Darnold hurt, Drew Lock will likely start at quarterback for Seattle against Arizona. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8a14b5e6-066b-457f-b409-a3ddbd512aca (scored 0) - Ralph Vacchiano on Tua Tagovailoa: Vacchiano ranks all 32 NFL teams entering the 2026 season, with the Rams first and Dolphins last.
