# Nick Faria: Faria projects the Jets' depth chart entering the third week of training camp, naming starters, backups and bubble players across every position group, plus roster-spot calls on Jelani Woods, Xavier Newman, VJ Payne, Tre Brown and Samuel Womack III. **Claimed:** Aug 10, 2026 **Pundit:** Nick Faria — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/nick-faria **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/jets/onsi/updated-jets-depth-chart-after-first-2-weeks-training-camp-rising-falling-01kzkky7yj6k 34 checkable claims — 29 depth chart calls and 5 roster spot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 35 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 34 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 14 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 13. > As things stand, I think Klubnik has done enough to walk into preseason games as the Jets' immediate backup quarterback to Smith. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
