# Jason La Canfora: La Canfora writes that Adam Randall will be deployed in the regular season as a versatile "Joker" rather than as a volume runner, and that he sits third on Baltimore's running back depth chart behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. **Claimed:** Aug 17, 2026 **Pundit:** Jason La Canfora — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jason-la-canfora **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/onsi/rookie-adam-randall-keeps-shining-even-as-ravens-take-him-out-of-his-comfort-zone-01m069td90mc 3 checkable claims — 3 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > With Derrick Henry and Justice Hill ahead of him on the depth chart, it's about complimenting their skillsets. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Justice Hill to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Justice Hill, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Adam Randall to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Adam Randall, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Derrick Henry to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Justice Hill — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/justice-hill - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/ravens - Adam Randall — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/adam-randall - Derrick Henry — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/derrick-henry ## What others said about the same people - Nick Shook on Baltimore Ravens: Shook said he would take the Steelers and Jaguars to win outright on the road, still expects the Chargers to beat the Raiders, and thinks Baltimore's run game will turn the Saints game into a double-digit Ravens win. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/b377b42a-7d78-4210-af2a-f8d1088561b2 (scored 0) - Pete Prisco on Baltimore Ravens: Prisco picks final scores for every Week 2 NFL game, with several teams that lost in Week 1 — the Chargers, Patriots, Cowboys, Packers and Rams — bouncing back, and the Bills outlasting the Lions in a shootout. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/29185ff4-dec4-498f-aa45-4ca2d72dcbe3 (scored 35.71) - John Hendricks on Baltimore Ravens: John Hendricks picked Baltimore to win 23-17, predicted Derrick Henry would score two touchdowns, called for Devon Vale's first career 100-yard receiving game, and bought Chris Olave topping 1,300 receiving yards. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/22cb903f-acc6-4b67-8b16-37759beac69f (scored 47.62) - Darrion Gray on Baltimore Ravens: Darion Gray picked the Ravens to beat the Saints 28-20 and predicted Chris Olave would post a second straight 100-yard receiving game. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/94aa3be8-5be5-48d2-8072-b0728b59bc8b (scored 47.62) - Lance Moore on Baltimore Ravens: Lance Moore predicted the Saints would again score around 30 points but lose a high-scoring game in Baltimore, 35-31.

He is unenthusiastic about the Falcons' offense either way and treats Bryce Young as a fringe fantasy starter. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/124ac755-a942-4382-8bad-177da7f8170d (scored 0) - Bradley Locker on Carson Wentz: PFF's unsigned adjusted power rankings after Week 1 of the 2026 season place the Bills first, the Rams second and the Dolphins last, with notes on quarterback situations in Seattle, Minnesota and Cleveland. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/a3716f21-0488-4fc8-a414-c25c2d781a6e (scored 100) - Tyler Sullivan on Michael Penix Jr.: In a Week 1 recap with no named byline, CBS Sports suggested Michael Penix Jr. would take over as Atlanta's Week 2 starter if healthy, called Ashton Jeanty's sophomore breakout imminent, and warned readers not to overlook San Francisco as NFC West winners. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/1000d8d0-5de1-405e-b8ce-255cde75a32d (scored 0) - Bill Huber on Chris McClellan: Huber's first Packers rookie progress report projects second-round cornerback Brandon Cisse to hold onto his spot with the No. 1 defense, third-round defensive tackle Chris McClellan to start in Week 1, and fifth-round lineman Jager Burton to be the team's top interior backup rather than a starter. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/dcf9daae-b511-490c-b438-173cf91e8597 (scored 0) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
