Nathan Jahnke· Aug 17, 2026
An unsigned PFF fantasy football piece names five players whose current draft prices don't account for expected declines: Rashee Rice, Cam Skattebo, Davante Adams, Lamar Jackson and TreVeyon Henderson. It also expects Skattebo to lead the Giants in carries and Rhamondre Stevenson to remain New England's primary back.
“The players featured here are being drafted as though they will largely replicate their recent production, but each has a clear reason to expect a decline in fantasy output.”

- Depth Chart CallsCam SkatteboNew York GiantsAug 17, 2026
Cam Skattebo to be 1st on the depth chart

- Fantasy Bust CallsCam SkatteboNew York GiantsAug 17, 2026
Cam Skattebo to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 4.05)

Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
- Fantasy Bust CallsLamar JacksonBaltimore RavensAug 17, 2026
Lamar Jackson to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 3.08)
“the uncertainty surrounding his rushing workload, new coaching staff and supporting cast makes his top-five price difficult to justify when similar upside is available several rounds later”
Not settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.
TreVeyon Henderson to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 5.08)
“RB TreVeyon Henderson , New England Patriots (ADP: 5.08) ... If the two play at the level they did last season, Stevenson should remain the primary back, and Henderson would carry fantasy value mainly when the Patriots are blowing opponents out.”
