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.

Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost
Price could find plenty of running room in Week 1 ... (listed under Strong Starts)
Bryce Lance to outplay his draft cost
Lance is a deep league flex that could pay off handsomely in Week 1.
De'Zhaun Stribling to fall short of his draft cost
I’m sitting him in Week 1. I need to see what his role is with all of the other talent around him.
Cade Otton to outplay his draft cost
He’s a viable streaming option for Week 1 against a Cincy defense that was ripped in half by tight ends last year.
Bryce Lance to be 3rd on the depth chart
With Jordyn Tyson injured to begin the season, I expect Bryce Lance to be in the starting trio of receivers for the Saints.
Devaughn Vele to outplay his draft cost
Vele isn’t the sexiest name, but in deeper leagues he’s a viable flex play for Week 1.
George Kittle to fall short of his draft cost
Kittle could have another amazing season in 2026 for fantasy, but I’m willing to sit him in Week 1 with the playing time concerns and a tough matchup.
Hunter Henry to fall short of his draft cost
Henry is an easy sit this week.
TreVeyon Henderson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Especially out of the gate for the 2026 season, I expect Rhamondre Stevenson to retain the lead back role.
Brock Purdy to finish top ? at his position, by fantasy points
Purdy could still post QB1 numbers this week, but it won’t be easy.
Terrance Ferguson to fall short of his draft cost
I would have to be desperate in a DEEP league to start Ferguson for Week 1.
Travis Etienne to be 1st on the depth chart
He’s set to see a similar workload in 2026 with the Saints... Etienne should see enough volume that it won’t matter with Alvin Kamara already injured to begin the season.
Rhamondre Stevenson to be 1st on the depth chart
Unless Stevenson falls off in 2026, he should remain the lead back for New England after playing at least 57% of the snaps in nine of his 14 games played in 2025.
AJ Barner to fall short of his draft cost
Barner will have streamable moments in 2026, but this isn’t a week where it’s likely worth going this direction for your fantasy lineups.
Dontayvion Wicks to be 1st on the depth chart
A.J. Brown‘s departure from Philadelphia left lot of vacated targets, and Wicks is expected to fill Brown’s role as the starting X receiver.
Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart
Or at least I think Tucker will be the Raiders’ lead receiver, and his preseason usage certainly suggested it.
Malik Willis to record 1,000 rushing yards
But the appeal of Willis is that if he plays 17 games, he might run for 1,000 yards. Yes, he’s that good of a runner.
Malachi Fields to be 2nd on the depth chart
Third-round pick Malachi Fields is expected to open the season as the Giants’ No. 2 receiver behind Malik Nabers, who’s coming back from a major knee injury.
Ja'Kobi Lane to outplay his draft cost
The Ravens are thin at wide receiver beyond Zay Flowers, and Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the game. Lane is a compelling sleeper.
D'Andre Swift to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm not worried about him threatening Swift as the clear lead back
Kenny Gainwell to be 2nd on the depth chart
The 27-year-old is now in Tampa Bay, where he will play second fiddle to Bucky Irving.
Kenny GainwellTampa Bay Buccaneers
TreVeyon Henderson to be 2nd on the depth chart
it's clear that TreVeyon Henderson is not going to be the Patriots' No. 1 RB to start the season
TreVeyon HendersonNew England Patriots
Malik Nabers to outplay his draft cost (discounted price)
it's worth checking if you can steal Nabers away at his discounted price.
Courtland Sutton to be 2nd on the depth chart
With Jaylen Waddle in town, Courtland Sutton's days as the Broncos' No. 1 WR are over.
Courtland SuttonDenver Broncos
Ladd McConkey to fall short of his draft cost (high-end WR2 value)
I can't get behind McConkey's current high-end WR2 value.
