# Jake Ciely: Seely sees Egbuka as a fringe WR1/2, agrees on fading Rashee Rice, pegs Ashton Jeanty as only a back-end RB1, is bullish on Harold Fannin Jr. (81 catches, ranked behind LaPorta but ahead of Pitts), views Tyler Shough as a QB2 with roughly 3,700-3,800 passing yards, loves Quentin Johnston (approaching 900 yards and nine TDs), has Javonte Williams as RB13, and projects Carnell Tate for over 1,000 yards and six scores. **Claimed:** Aug 8, 2026 **Pundit:** Jake Ciely — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jake-ciely **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast/8-players-fantasy-football-projections-love-draft-values-for-2026-ep-2116 15 checkable claims — 7 player season numbers, 4 positional finishes, 2 sleeper calls, 1 fantasy bust call and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 16 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 3. > I am in on Quinton Johnston. I have him higher. I have him over eight hundred yards ... approaching nine hundred yards, and I have him approaching nine touchdowns. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver forty two ADP overall one oh six)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **I go laporta fan and pits** - Kind: Fantasy Rankings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Harold Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft cost (tight end, five in ADP overall sixty four)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to record 6 receiving tds** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Carnell Tate, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ashton Jeanty to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Shough to record ? rushing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carnell Tate to record 1,000 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Carnell Tate, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Harold Fannin Jr. to record 81 receptions** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Shough to record 3,800 passing yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Emeka Egbuka to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rashee Rice to fall short of his draft cost (ADP Wide Receiver eleven ... overall ADP twenty nine)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Javonte Williams to finish top 13 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Javonte Williams, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quentin Johnston to record 900 receiving yards** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Quentin Johnston to record 9 receiving tds** - Kind: Player Season Numbers · About: Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Shough to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Quentin Johnston — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/quentin-johnston - Los Angeles Chargers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chargers - Harold Fannin Jr. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/harold-fannin-jr - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/browns - Carnell Tate — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/carnell-tate - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/titans - Ashton Jeanty — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/ashton-jeanty - Las Vegas Raiders — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/raiders - Tyler Shough — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tyler-shough - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/saints - Emeka Egbuka — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/emeka-egbuka - Tampa Bay Buccaneers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/buccaneers - Rashee Rice — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/rashee-rice - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Javonte Williams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/javonte-williams - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cowboys ## What others said about the same people - Chris Brockman on Baker Mayfield: Brockman's season-preview overreactions: Fernando Mendoza becomes an Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist; Dak Prescott wins MVP and the Cowboys win the Super Bowl; Jesse Minter's Ravens win the AFC North; C.J.
