# Nathan Jahnke: An unsigned PFF fantasy piece argues several running backs are being overdrafted relative to their likely 2026 roles — Henderson behind Stevenson in New England, Tuten stuck in a three-man Jacksonville committee, Skattebo facing added competition from Najee Harris — while endorsing Travis Etienne as a top-25 back and Tony Pollard as a value at his ADP. **Claimed:** Aug 26, 2026 **Pundit:** Nathan Jahnke — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/nathan-jahnke **Outlet:** Pro Football Focus — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/pro-football-focus **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-running-backs-to-avoid-2026/ 10 checkable claims — 5 depth chart calls, 3 fantasy bust calls, 1 positional finishe and 1 sleeper call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 5. > Tuten is currently being drafted as a low-end RB2, but there is serious risk at that price. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Bhayshul Tuten to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **TreVeyon Henderson to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 6.01)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cam Skattebo to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 4.04)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Cam Skattebo, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Rhamondre Stevenson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Travis Etienne to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Travis Etienne, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tony Pollard to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 8.01)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Travis Etienne to finish top 25 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Travis Etienne, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bhayshul Tuten to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 6.02)** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **TreVeyon Henderson to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cam Skattebo to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Cam Skattebo, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Bhayshul Tuten — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/bhayshul-tuten - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - TreVeyon Henderson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/treveyon-henderson - New England Patriots — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/patriots - Cam Skattebo — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/cam-skattebo - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/giants - Rhamondre Stevenson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/rhamondre-stevenson - Travis Etienne — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/travis-etienne - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/saints - Tony Pollard — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/tony-pollard - Tennessee Titans — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/titans ## What others said about the same people - John Shipley on Jack Kiser: Shipley projects a full 16-player (plus one international/exemption spot) Jaguars practice squad for 2026, naming specific players at each position he expects to land there. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c0a52b7c-63b2-4e18-b7da-9342dbbc111f (scored 0) - Jared Dubin on Daniel Faalele: Dubin grades the Faalele trade, predicting Faalele has a decent chance to be Jacksonville's Week 1 starting right guard in competition with Wyatt Milum, and that Evan Neal's odds of making the Giants' 53-man roster improved while Jon Runyan and Francis Mauigoa hold the Giants' starting guard jobs. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/aae46267-fc6d-44c1-a96c-7355b3db857b (scored 0) - John Shipley on Patrick Mekari: Shipley projects second-year cornerback Jabbar Muhammad to make the Jaguars' 53-man roster and describes him as the team's clear No. 5 cornerback, a role that would earn him a game-day jersey.
