# Jeremy Brener: Brener 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. **Claimed:** Aug 9, 2026 **Pundit:** Jeremy Brener — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jeremy-brener **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/onsi/seattle-seahawks-biggest-training-camp-surprise-substitute-teacher 12 checkable claims — 11 depth chart calls and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 12 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 12 have settled so far, averaging 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 3. > If he continues to perform well in training camp, he will likely claim one of those spots *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims -
