# Rich Hribar: Hribar names Omarion Hampton a core Week 1 DFS play as a three-down back in a favorable matchup, and Tetairoa McMillan a tournament play expected to outperform his price thanks to increased slot usage against a weak Bears defense. **Claimed:** Sep 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Rich Hribar — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/rich-hribar **Outlet:** Sharp Football Analysis — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sharp-football-analysis **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/nfl-dfs-picks/ 3 checkable claims — 2 sleeper calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 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. > To open the year, we are catching Hampton as a three-down back attached to a double-digit favorite with a team total just below 30 points. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tetairoa McMillan to outplay his draft cost ($6,800 FanDuel/$6,100 DraftKings)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Omarion Hampton to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Omarion Hampton - Verdict: not settled yet - **Omarion Hampton to outplay his draft cost ($7,300 FanDuel/$6,800 DraftKings)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Omarion Hampton - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Tetairoa McMillan — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tetairoa-mcmillan - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/panthers - Omarion Hampton — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/omarion-hampton ## What others said about the same people - AJ Hawk on Carolina Panthers: AJ Hawk picked the Ravens over the Colts, Carolina to beat Chicago outright, the Bills at Houston, the Bengals over Tampa Bay, the Titans over the Jets, the Raiders over Miami, the Packers at Minnesota and the Cowboys over the Giants. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/74f9146c-d27f-4851-b8a4-4103d043308f (scored 0) - Brady Quinn on Carolina Panthers: In the show's Week 1 picks-against-the-spread segment, Quinn took the Steelers over the Falcons, the Panthers at home over the Bears, the Bengals over the Buccaneers, the Texans at home over the Bills, and the Cowboys on the road over the Giants. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/696da78f-ea04-4f40-9242-4fb9a3f93d91 (scored 0) - Tyler Sullivan on Carolina Panthers: An unsigned CBS Sports piece flags five Week 1 underdogs as upset candidates: the 49ers over the Rams in Melbourne, the Texans over the Bills, the Panthers over the Bears, the Jets over the Titans, and the Broncos over the Chiefs on Monday night. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cd6c3269-8c90-4044-9c48-0b1fc3537699 (scored 0) - John Pluym on Carolina Panthers: Pluym's Week 1 straight-up picks for all 16 games. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/e7e5c159-21f2-4766-92de-857294ef51cf (scored 0) - Zach Roberts on Isaiah Simmons: Roberts projects the Carolina Panthers' 53-man roster following the Hall of Fame Game, naming every player he expects to make the team at each position, and pegs AJ Dillon as the fourth running back on the depth chart. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/eef72be3-9114-401b-a6e8-2ffc335cc7fb (scored 100) - Nathan Jahnke on Feleipe Franks: An unsigned PFF preseason recap makes numerous depth-chart, roster and usage projections across the league, based on Week 3 preseason playing time — including Roman Wilson winning Pittsburgh's third receiver job, Luke McCaffrey's roster spot being in danger, Charlie Kolar as the Chargers' top tight end, and Kendre Miller as the Saints' RB2. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/47566b48-8024-4960-b25c-11c03fe43543 (scored 100) ## More sleeper calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Matt Money Smith on Tre Harris: Smith says Ladd McConkie is a legitimate No. 1 receiver who could post a Jaylen Waddle-like season of roughly 1,700 yards and eight touchdowns, and he predicts second-year Chargers receiver Trey Harris will have a big year under Mike McDaniel.
