- Jeremy BrenerRoster Spot Calls · Cooper KuppHit · 100Brener projects Seattle's wide receiver room to include Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, Tory Horton, Jake Bobo and rookie Emmanuel Henderson Jr. on the 53-man roster, leaving Montorie Foster Jr. fighting for a spot despite a strong camp and preseason showing.
- Michael HanichRoster Spot Calls · Rodney ThomasHit · 100Hanich projects Seattle's updated safety and nickel depth charts after Bud Clark's injury, naming Julian Love and Ty Okada as starting safeties, A.J. Finley as Love's backup, and laying out a nickel pecking order with Devon Witherspoon first, Noah Igbinoghene third and Nehemiah Pritchett behind him. He also predicts roster outcomes for D'Anthony Bell, Rodney Thomas and Andre Fuller.
- Shannon SharpeRoster Spot Calls · Jalen MilroeHit · 100Sharpe expects Drew Lock to be Seattle's clear No. 2 quarterback, with Jaylen Milroe kept and Mitchell Trubisky released; he also predicts Shedeur Sanders will be named the Browns' starter and Deshaun Watson eventually released, and says Cleveland won't win the Super Bowl.
- Jeremy BrenerRoster Spot Calls · Jalen MilroeHit · 100Brener argues the Seahawks should trade backup quarterback Drew Lock — plausibly to the Lions for a Day 3 pick — and keep only two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster, with Jalen Milroe retained after his training-camp ascent.
- Jeremy BrenerRoster Spot Calls · Montorie Foster JrMiss · 0Brener projects Seattle's wide receiver depth chart with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp as starters, Tory Horton and Jake Bobo as backups and rookie Emmanuel Henderson Jr. claiming the sixth spot, while placing Montorie Foster Jr. 10th and expecting him to land on the practice squad rather than the 53-man roster.

More availability calls
The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
- Rich HribarAvailability Calls · Caleb WilliamsPendingPreviewing the Week 3 Monday night game, Hribar expects Caleb Williams to sit, doubts Tyson Bagent clears concussion protocol in time, and therefore has Case Keenum starting at quarterback for Chicago; he also expects Zach Ertz to play for Philadelphia in his first week back.
- Ezekiel TrezevantAvailability Calls · Isaiah Pola-MaoPendingReviewing the Raiders' Week 3 depth chart, he expects both safeties Treydan Stukes and Isaiah Pola-Mao to be on the field Sunday, and sees the rest of the unit largely settled.
- Bryan DeArdoAvailability Calls · Kyler MurrayPendingDeArdo ranks the NFL's eight 2-0 teams, splitting them into four he considers legitimate (Seahawks, Bengals, Bills, 49ers) and four pretenders (Chiefs, Eagles, Vikings, Raiders). He expects Buffalo to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl and believes Kansas City's soft schedule will still get it a playoff spot.
- Derek BrownAvailability Calls · Kyler MurrayPendingIn a Week 3 start/sit column, Brown works through quarterback matchups; the only non-weekly, gradable claim is that Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will start in Week 3.
- Colin CowherdAvailability Calls · Brock BowersPendingThe co-host (identified only as "Mitchell") made his own Week 3 picks, including blowout wins for Seattle and San Francisco, Cincinnati 27-17, Detroit 37-13, Denver 24-21 over the Rams, and predicted Jonah Coleman takes over the Broncos' running back role.
- Michael David SmithAvailability Calls · Brian BurnsPendingSmith expects Giants pass rusher Brian Burns' low ankle sprain to sideline him for at least the coming week's game.
