Takes in each band
Everyone writing under this banner, pooled into the numbers above. Counted by article, with a paginated series counting once — the same rule used for an individual, from the published methodology.
Teams and players where FantasyPros’s writers keep landing outside the room: at least twice, a call published under this banner sat beyond every other pundit who made a comparable one — higher or lower than all of them, in a room of at least five voices. The bar is the banner’s standing lean (+100 would be the most bullish voice in every room), and the accuracy covers just those out-on-a-limb calls, once they settle. Computed, never chosen.

Chris Bell to outplay his draft cost (rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo leagues)
There's a clear path to targets on this team, giving Bell a ton of upside. He's my second favorite waiver wire stash on this list, behind Michael Mayer.
Adonai Mitchell to be 2nd on the depth chart
Adonai Mitchell is the clear-cut No. 2 WR on the Jets, as Omar Cooper Jr. has taken time to get it going in this offense.
Michael Mayer to outplay his draft cost (rostered in 21% of Yahoo leagues)
If Michael Mayer is still on your waiver wire, add him immediately... he has huge upside against the Dolphins in Week 1.
Michael MayerLas Vegas Raiders
Pat Bryant to outplay his draft cost (rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo leagues)
If you have a roster spot, give him a shot now and see what happens versus the Chiefs.
Michael Mayer to finish top 7 at his position, by fantasy points
Still only rostered in 21% of Yahoo leagues, Mayer is my TE7 for Week 1. I'm that high on him.
Michael MayerLas Vegas Raiders
Malachi Fields to outplay his draft cost (rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo leagues)
Malachi Fields is a rookie wideout who could be in line for an uptick in targets if Malik Nabers (game-time decision) doesn't play... This is exactly the kind of dart throw you want to make in your league as you search for upside.
Adonai Mitchell to outplay his draft cost (rostered in fewer than 30% of Yahoo leagues)
He's the kind of deep threat that you want to stash on your bench if you have room. The Titans aren't a matchup to fear in Week 1.
Michael Mayer to be 1st on the depth chart
Michael Mayer is forced to take over as the No. 1 TE for the Raiders with Brock Bowers sidelined.
Michael MayerLas Vegas Raiders
Garrett Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart
Wilson is the unquestioned WR1 who thrives regardless of the quarterback based on pure volume.
DK Metcalf to be 1st on the depth chart
Metcalf should lead the way for Pittsburgh's passing attack in Week 1.
Quentin Johnston to be 1st on the depth chart
Quentin Johnston could easily be the Bolts' WR1 this season because when he was healthy last season, that's exactly who he was.
Christian Watson to be 1st on the depth chart
Christian Watson got the bag this offseason and should be considered the clear WR1 for the Green Bay Packers.
Jalen Coker to be 2nd on the depth chart
The Carolina passing attack will flow through Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker this season.
David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
David Montgomery will likely operate as the team's workhorse.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
I expect Jonathon Brooks to lead the backfield this season, but Hubbard should still be a sizable portion of the rushing attack to open the season.
Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
Brian Daboll has a long history of utilizing one workhorse back in his offenses, so I'm still projecting Tony Pollard to be that guy.
Chuba Hubbard to be 2nd on the depth chart
I expect Jonathon Brooks to lead the backfield this season, but Hubbard should still be a sizable portion of the rushing attack to open the season.
Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost
This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.
MarShawn Lloyd to be 1st on the depth chart
MarShawn Lloyd looks primed to enter Week 1 as the Packers' workhorse back with Josh Jacobs on the commissioner-exempt list.
Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost
I think Goff will get it done in Week 1.
Kyler Murray to fall short of his draft cost
I'm not hopeful that Murray begins the 2026 season with a monster game, though.
Bo Nix to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
He could easily be a QB1 this week
Bo Nix to outplay his draft cost
He could easily be a QB1 this week against a pass defense that allowed the 13th-highest passer rating last year
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost
Willis' rushing ability gives him an incredibly high ceiling and floor for Week 1.
Jayden Daniels to fall short of his draft cost
Daniels' rushing ability will have to carry his Week 1 fantasy production because he'll be under duress when dropping back to throw against one of the best pass defenses in the NFL.
