# Zachary Pereles: A panel of 13 CBS Sports NFL writers voted on an All-Breakout Team for 2026, naming Caleb Williams, Bhayshul Tuten, receivers Luther Burden III, Josh Downs and De'Zhaun Stribling, tight ends Colston Loveland and Tucker Kraft, and offensive linemen Josh Simmons, Will Campbell, Grey Zabel, Zach Frazier, Tyler Booker and Amarius Mims as 2026 breakout players. **Claimed:** Aug 24, 2026 **Pundit:** Zachary Pereles — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/zachary-pereles **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2026-nfl-breakout-team-caleb-williams/ 15 checkable claims — 13 sleeper calls, 1 depth chart call and 1 pro bowl and all-pro call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 23 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > Thirteen voters, made up of CBS Sports NFL writers and analysts, voted on their All-Breakout Team for 2026, and here are the results for the offensive side of the ball. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Bhayshul Tuten - Verdict: not settled yet - **Grey Zabel to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Grey Zabel, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Will Campbell to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Will Campbell, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **De'Zhaun Stribling to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: De'Zhaun Stribling, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Josh Simmons to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Josh Simmons, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **De'Zhaun Stribling to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: De'Zhaun Stribling, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Luther Burden III to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Caleb Williams to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Zach Frazier to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Zach Frazier, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tyler Booker to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Tyler Booker, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Zach Frazier to make Pro Bowl** - Kind: Pro Bowl and All-Pro Calls · About: Zach Frazier, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Amarius Mims to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Amarius Mims, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Josh Downs to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tucker Kraft to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Bhayshul Tuten — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/bhayshul-tuten - Grey Zabel — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/grey-zabel - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Will Campbell — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/will-campbell - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/patriots - De'Zhaun Stribling — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/de-zhaun-stribling - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Josh Simmons — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/josh-simmons - Kansas City Chiefs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/chiefs - Luther Burden III — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/luther-burden-iii - Chicago Bears — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bears - Caleb Williams — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/caleb-williams - Zach Frazier — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/zach-frazier - Pittsburgh Steelers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/steelers - Tyler Booker — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tyler-booker - Dallas Cowboys — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/cowboys - Amarius Mims — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/amarius-mims - Cincinnati Bengals — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/bengals - Colston Loveland — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/colston-loveland - Josh Downs — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/josh-downs - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/colts - Tucker Kraft — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tucker-kraft - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/packers ## What others said about the same people - Tyler Sullivan on Drew Lock: In an unsigned Week 2 odds roundup, the piece states that with Sam Darnold hurt, Drew Lock will likely start at quarterback for Seattle against Arizona. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/8a14b5e6-066b-457f-b409-a3ddbd512aca (scored 0) - Mike Moraitis on DaRon Bland: Moraitis names five Cowboys he expects to be playing their final season opener in Dallas in 2026: George Pickens (likely tag-and-trade or departure), Malik Hooker, Luke Schoonmaker, DeMarvion Overshown and DaRon Bland. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/66b5ed7b-41bd-4f67-9b4d-16eae4675e67 (scored 100) - Bucky Brooks on Keenan Allen: Brooks predicted J.J.
