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.

Garrett Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart
Wilson is the unquestioned WR1 who thrives regardless of the quarterback based on pure volume.
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.
DK Metcalf to be 1st on the depth chart
Metcalf should lead the way for Pittsburgh's passing attack in Week 1.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
David Montgomery will likely operate as the team's workhorse.
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.
Tyler Shough to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
Shough could post QB1 numbers in Week 1.
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
Baker Mayfield to outplay his draft cost
Mayfield should have a strong Week 1 performance... In a contract year, I'm expecting a big bounce-back season from Mayfield if he can stay healthy all season
Trevor Lawrence to fall short of his draft cost
Lawrence could rise above a tough on-paper matchup for Week 1, but it's ok if you have some worries.
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.
Jaxson Dart to outplay his draft cost
Dallas should be viewed at least as a league-average matchup for Dart, with the upside to be a very good one.
Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost
I think Goff will get it done in Week 1.
Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost
Shough could be in line for a big day if he can pick up where he left off last year.
Patrick Mahomes to fall short of his draft cost
Denver is a tough test out of the gate for Mahomes.
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost
Willis' rushing ability gives him an incredibly high ceiling and floor for Week 1.
Bo Nix to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
He could easily be a QB1 this week
Kyler Murray to fall short of his draft cost
I'm not hopeful that Murray begins the 2026 season with a monster game, though.
Week 1 K Start/Sit Grades — Cameron Dicker (2, A-) through Joey Slye (28, D-)
Week 1 QB Start/Sit Grades — Rank/Grade/Name/Team listing from Joe Burrow (2, A+) through Quinn Ewers (54, F)
