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.

Mark Andrews to fall short of his draft cost (top-15 consensus tight end)
But I'm afraid his decline will continue after he has failed to command the same type of volume over the last two seasons... Just say no.
Alec Pierce to fall short of his draft cost
With the addition of Keenan Allen and Pierce's continued health struggles, I'm avoiding him in drafts this year.
Jake Ferguson to fall short of his draft cost (fringe TE1)
Ferguson is facing a major uphill battle to rise above TD-or-bust TE territory. He's being overvalued as a fringe TE1
Matthew Stafford to fall short of his draft cost
Stafford can be very good this season, and I think it's a tough bet to expect him to repeat those numbers in 2026... Drafting Stafford this season feels like exclusively chasing last year's production
De'Zhaun Stribling to be 2nd on the depth chart
Stribling has been getting nothing but high praise out of training camp and will be the 49ers' No. 2 WR opposite Mike Evans.

Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
There is some congestion in the Jaguars' wide receiver room, but Parker Washington is emerging as one of Trevor Lawrence's top options in Jacksonville.

Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
Tony Pollard isn't anything special and plays behind a pitiful offensive line, but he's the starter and should get the majority of the carries.
Luther Burden III to be 1st on the depth chart
Malik Nabers, Luther Burden III and Parker Washington are projected to be the No. 1 WRs on their respective teams

Cyrus Allen to outplay his draft cost (his ADP price tag)
It's hard not to buy a ticket at his ADP price tag. He's basically free and has been earning first-team reps while capitalizing on the opportunity.
Kenny Gainwell to be 2nd on the depth chart
Here's a back who can pay out big dividends as the RB2 behind Bucky Irving.

Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost (high-end WR3 ... in the fifth round)
He's currently going off the board as a high-end WR3, but he has WR1 upside. ... Getting this kind of production as a WR3 is a smash click in the fifth round.

Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (his current ADP)
Most would agree that Corum has standalone value behind Kyren Williams. At his current ADP, he already provides great value as the backup.
Rashee Rice to be 1st on the depth chart
Rashee Rice is the No. 1 receiver
Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart
Most would agree that Corum has standalone value behind Kyren Williams. At his current ADP, he already provides great value as the backup.
Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost
This could be the big breakout season for Tuten... if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne's RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.
Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost
Price is an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026.
D'Andre Swift to outplay his draft cost
Swift should be a mid-range RB2 again this season.
Brock Purdy to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Consider him a low-end QB1 in 2026 fantasy drafts.
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost
Could this offense outperform expectations in a number of ways? Absolutely.
Mike Evans to be 1st on the depth chart
Free-agent addition Mike Evans is expected to be Purdy's new No. 1 receiver
Drake Maye to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
Maye should be considered a strong top-five fantasy quarterback option with the ability to push Josh Allen for the QB1 spot if everything goes his way in 2026.
Dak Prescott to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Prescott is a locked-in QB1 that could be a top-five option if they can put more touchdowns in the end zone in 2026.
Malik Willis to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Willis's running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone. If he and this offense surpass lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside in 2026.
