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.

Jake Ferguson to fall short of his draft cost (TE12, Overall RK117 | ECR vs. ADP: -8)
Ferguson's 2026 production could be limited as long as Lamb and Pickens are both healthy, so it's best to consider Ferguson a high-end TE2 in this year's drafts.
Oronde Gadsden II to fall short of his draft cost (TE20, Overall RK150 | ECR vs. ADP: -20)
I'll be avoiding Oronde Gadsden in drafts this season... Gadsden looks like he's locked in a tight end committee for 2026, which is something I don't have any interest in dealing with for fantasy purposes.
Dylan Sampson to outplay his draft cost (100 picks later)
I just don't see how the situation is so dramatically improved for an RB who is coming off a brutal season-ending injury to thrive. Give me Sampson 100 picks later.
Bucky Irving to fall short of his draft cost (RB22, Overall RK57 | ECR vs. ADP: -13)
Irving could be a nice bounce-back candidate in 2026 or a massive disappointment that loses work to Gainwell and Tucker all year. I'll buy the dip if he slips in some drafts, but I won't go out of my way to draft him this season.
Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart
With that type of draft capital investment, I think Love will be Arizona's lead back in 2026, but he could have his workload eaten into by Allgeier and/or Conner.
TreVeyon Henderson to fall short of his draft cost (RB24, Overall RK61 | ECR vs. ADP: -12)
Henderson could eat into Stevenson's workload more in 2026 if he can take another step and payoff as an RB2, but he 's best viewed as an upside RB3.
CeeDee Lamb to fall short of his draft cost (1.04)
Players to Avoid at 1.04 Fantasy Football Draft Pick ... CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) ... Pickens has slightly capped Lamb’s upside.
Jonathan Taylor to fall short of his draft cost (the third overall pick)
Another tough fade for this selection is Jonathan Taylor... do you deserve to be drafted with the third overall pick when your quarterback is coming off said achilles injury... Despite the new contract, this is too rich for Taylor.
Ja'Marr Chase to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
Burrow is fully healthy this offseason, and the ceiling is the name of the game at the top of the draft. Lock in Chase for another WR1 overall season.
Matthew Stafford to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)
Stafford seems well positioned for another big season.
Dak Prescott to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)
Dak Prescott seems primed for another big season ... quarterbacks he loves to target in the middle rounds of fantasy football drafts
Trevor Lawrence to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)
quarterbacks he loves to target in the middle rounds ... Trevor Lawrence (JAC) ... Now, we'll see if T-Law can pick up where he left off.
Brock Purdy to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
Consider him a low-end QB1 in 2026 fantasy drafts.
Justin Herbert to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)
Pat Fitzmaurice shares quarterbacks he loves to target in the middle rounds of fantasy football drafts. Justin Herbert (LAC) ... Herbert could have a banner season in tandem with new Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel
Brock Purdy to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)
quarterbacks he loves to target in the middle rounds ... Brock Purdy (SF) ... Consider him a low-end QB1 in 2026 fantasy drafts.
Darius Cooper to make the roster
former UDFA Darius Cooper, now seen as a virtual lock to make the final roster
Tre Tucker to be 2nd on the depth chart
with Jalen Nailor and Tre Tucker occupying the top two slots
Kayshon Boutte to be 4th on the depth chart
Kayshon wants a new contract and will not be happy with his role as the number four receiver behind A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, and Pop Douglas.
Elijah Moore to be 6th on the depth chart
Moore is clearly behind DeVonta Smith, Dontaviyon Wicks, Darius Cooper, Makai Lemon, and Marquise Brown.
Elijah Moore to make the roster
Elijah Moore is in danger of being waived by the Philadelphia Eagles at final cutdown unless he makes waves in preseason.
Jerry Jeudy to be 3rd on the depth chart
This means that the top three in Cleveland will be Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, and Jerry Jeudy.
Trey Benson to move to Green Bay Packers
we could see a trade between brothers that sends Benson to the Green Bay Packers
K.C. Concepcion to be 2nd on the depth chart
This means that the top three in Cleveland will be Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, and Jerry Jeudy.
John Metchie III to make the roster
It would be surprising if Metchie did not make the roster... so he should be safe
Deion Burks to make the roster
Burks, who is still running with the 3s, is in jeopardy of not making the active roster
