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.

Trevor Lawrence to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Just temper expectations, as a back-end QB1 finish may be the ceiling for Week 2.
Trevor LawrenceJacksonville Jaguars
Rome Odunze to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points
You can safely start Burden or Odunze as a strong WR2 this week. (Week 2 vs. Minnesota)
Baker Mayfield to outplay his draft cost
Good Matchup: Baker Mayfield (QB – TB) vs. Cleveland Browns ... Fire up Mayfield in Week 2 (Week 2)
Baker MayfieldTampa Bay Buccaneers
Nico Collins to fall short of his draft cost
Bad Matchup: Nico Collins (WR – HOU) vs. Cincinnati Bengals ... Collins may find it harder to create separation and produce another big fantasy outing (Week 2)
Jeremiyah Love to fall short of his draft cost
Bad Matchup: Jeremiyah Love (RB – ARI) vs. Seattle Seahawks ... Love may not get enough volume to finish as a top-end RB2 ... if he doesn't score, he may disappoint. (Week 2)
Jeremiyah LoveArizona Cardinals
Jacory Croskey-Merritt to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points
You might want to buy into the volume for Croskey-Merritt as a back-end RB2 or FLEX option. (Week 2 @ Dallas)
Jacory Croskey-MerrittWashington Commanders
Brock Bowers is expected to miss this game again (Week 2 @ Los Angeles Chargers)
Luther Burden III to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points
You can safely start Burden or Odunze as a strong WR2 this week. (Week 2 vs. Minnesota)
Luther Burden IIIChicago Bears
Chuba Hubbard to be 1st on the depth chart
Brooks might take high-value touches away from Hubbard, but we’re not there yet, and any clear No. 1 RB on an offense deserves to start more often than not.
Tetairoa McMillan to fall short of his draft cost
Tetairoa McMillan (WR – CAR) at Atlanta Falcons ... McMillan is a talented player, but it’s far from a comfortable situation right now.
Chuba Hubbard to outplay his draft cost
Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR) at Atlanta Falcons ... For now, though, you shouldn’t have any concerns about playing Hubbard.
Baker Mayfield to fall short of his draft cost
Baker Mayfield (RB – TB) vs. Cleveland Browns ... for now, it might be worth taking a wait-and-see approach with Mayfield.
Tony Pollard to fall short of his draft cost
Week 2 Risky Fantasy Football Starts — Tony Pollard (RB – TEN) vs. Philadelphia Eagles ... This backfield isn’t a clear enough split in Pollard’s favor right now for volume alone to matter.
Derrick Henry to outplay his draft cost
Week 2 Safe Fantasy Football Starts — Derrick Henry (RB – BAL) vs. New Orleans Saints ... You should feel very good about rostering Henry right now.
Justin Jefferson to outplay his draft cost
Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN) at Chicago Bears ... Jefferson saw a first-read rate of 53% in Week 1 and had nine targets. This week he could easily hit double digits.
Mike Gesicki to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
he could be in line for another top-12 finish
Mike GesickiCincinnati Bengals
Kenyon Sadiq to outplay his draft cost (14% Rostered)
For fantasy managers willing to look at Week 2 ... and beyond, Sadiq is particularly interesting because he could be growing into an expanded role.
Hunter Henry to outplay his draft cost (54% Rostered)
With Pittsburgh in town and Brown out of the way, there is now a clear path for 5-7 potential targets for Henry.
Hunter HenryNew England Patriots
Mike Gesicki to outplay his draft cost (2% Rostered)
Mike Gesicki went largely undrafted in 2026. His rostership will shoot way up after his Week 1 performance against Tampa Bay.

Week 2 D/ST Rankings & Projections — table ranking all 32 team defenses for Week 2
Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost (46.7 % Rostered)
Shough should have no problem doubling Jones’ fantasy production against the Ravens.
Bryce Young to outplay his draft cost (11.2% Rostered)
He faces the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, the Cleveland Browns next week and the Detroit Lions in Week 4. All three matchups give him top-10 upside.
Carson Wentz to outplay his draft cost (0.1% Rostered)
However, if Murray doesn’t play, Carson Wentz has top-10 upside against the Bears on Sunday.
Jordan Love to outplay his draft cost (42.1% Rostered)
Fantasy players should love the idea of streaming Love against Aaron Glenn’s defense.
Jalen Coker to fall short of his draft cost
I would love to get Chuba Hubbard, Christian Watson, Jalen Coker and Dallas Goedert off my roster.
