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.

Tyler Warren to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
Warren is a top-five tight end this season that could sniff top-three status if everything goes according to plan.

AJ Barner to finish TE2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points
Consider Barner a midrange to low-end TE2 for 2026 fantasy drafts.
Brock Bowers (LV) — RK1 ... Trey McBride (ARI) — RK2 ... Colston Loveland (CHI) — RK3 ... Tyler Warren (IND) — RK4 ... Juwan Johnson (NO) — RK16 ... Hunter Henry (NE) — RK19 ... Dalton Schultz (HOU) — RK21 ... AJ Barner (SEA) — RK22 ... Gunnar Helm (TEN) — RK24 ... Pat Freiermuth (PIT) — RK26
Trey McBride to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
McBride could repeat this season as the TE1 overall.
Dalton Schultz to finish TE2 (13–24) at his position, by fantasy points
It's best to consider Schultz a midrange TE2 for fantasy, even though he was more than that last season.
Gunnar Helm to be 1st on the depth chart
Second-year man Gunnar Helm sits atop the Titans' depth chart at tight end now that veteran Chig Okonkwo has moved on to Washington via free agency.
Brock Bowers to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
2026 Brock Bowers could be 2025 Trey McBride and be the runaway TE1 for fantasy
Round 1 starts with a coin flip between Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs at the top ... Next come the “Big Three” receivers — Ja’Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, and Jaxson Smith-Njigba ... After that, it’s a McCaffrey-vs-St. Brown decision ... followed by Ashton Jeanty, James Cook, Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and Jonathan Taylor rounding out the round.
Jeremiyah Love to outplay his draft cost (Round 3)
His favorite Round 3 targets include Jeremiyah Love (leaning on the historical track record of top-12 rookie running backs)
Tetairoa McMillan to outplay his draft cost (Round 3)
His favorite Round 3 targets include ... Tetairoa McMillan
Brock Purdy to outplay his draft cost (ADP sits around where Michael Wilson goes)
while Brock Purdy’s ADP sits around where Michael Wilson goes — and a Purdy/McConkey combo of two weekly starters beats an Allen/Wilson combo
Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost (Round 3)
His favorite Round 3 targets include ... Colston Loveland
Zay Flowers to outplay his draft cost (Round 3)
His favorite Round 3 targets include ... Zay Flowers
Trey McBride to fall short of his draft cost (the second round)
he’s comfortable taking Brock Bowers or Colston Loveland at their going rate in the second round, but not Trey McBride, whose value is tied to a huge target total in Arizona that’s likely to shrink
Josh Allen to fall short of his draft cost (ADP sits right around where Ladd McConkey goes)
Josh Allen’s ADP sits right around where Ladd McConkey goes ... a Purdy/McConkey combo of two weekly starters beats an Allen/Wilson combo
Fantasy Football Expert Draft Rankings: Most Accurate Experts — RK 1 Jahmyr Gibbs DET RB1 ... 150 Hunter Henry NE TE19
Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
I favored Washington over Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers as the Jaguars’ main receiving threat for 2026
Malik Washington to outplay his draft cost (WR74)
Washington is the first Dolphins wideout listed on our ECR as a mid-tier 7 option, at WR74. I understand the hesitation, but the upside alone presents a massive return on investment
Wan'Dale Robinson to outplay his draft cost (WR43 in our rankings)
Dismissing last season as a fluke has caused his ADP to plummet and his ranking to slip; currently, we have him pegged at WR43 in our rankings. Much like Rodney Dangerfield, Robinson is currently getting no respect, and it is high time for to change.
Romeo Doubs to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)
I still envision Doubs as a WR3 play, but his upside warrants consideration in the middle rounds as a dart throw worth investing in.
Parker Washington to record 1,000 receiving yards
I don’t think that it is outrageous to project Washington for his first 1,000 receiving-yard season in 2026.
Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (a late-round value)
Washington is somehow slipping in drafts as a late-round value... He’s a favorite WR3 target for me in drafts this year.
Romeo Doubs to be 2nd on the depth chart
He slides in immediately as the WR2 opposite A.J. Brown
Travis Etienne to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 40 | (RB19))
Travis Etienne (RB – NO) ADP: 40 | (RB19) ... this backfield could still be split more than Etienne’s contract and ADP suggest.
Travis EtienneNew Orleans Saints
George Kittle to fall short of his draft cost (ADP: 91 | (TE9))
George Kittle (TE – SF) ADP: 91 | (TE9) ... Kittle is easier to fade at TE9 than his name value and history might suggest.
George KittleSan Francisco 49ers
