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.

Greg Dulcich to outplay his draft cost (ECR: TE36)
Greg Dulcich could be THE late-round tight end to draft in 2026. ... No tight end in this class has a wider gap between his projection rank and his consensus rank than Greg Dulcich, at +14
Dallas Goedert to be 2nd on the depth chart
With A.J. Brown out of town, Goedert could easily be the clear second option in the Eagles’ passing attack this season.

Greg Dulcich to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
I won’t be surprised if he finishes the season as a TE1.
Pat Freiermuth to outplay his draft cost (ECR: TE26)
If new Steelers head coach Mike McCathy and new offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio make Freiermuth a bigger part of the Pittsburgh offense than he was under Smith last year, the veteran tight end could surprise.

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.
Chig Okonkwo to fall short of his draft cost (ECR: TE17)
Okonkwo is an intriguing sleeper at tight end, but it would be reckless to count on him as a fantasy starter.
Chig OkonkwoWashington Commanders
Dallas Goedert to finish top 6 at his position, by fantasy points
I wouldn’t rule out Goedert finishing as a top six fantasy tight end again in 2026.

Jalen Hurts to fall short of his draft cost (midrange QB1 price)
With sensational rushing yards no longer bankable, Hurts is a fade.
De'Von Achane to fall short of his draft cost (the second round of fantasy football drafts)
It's possible Achane's talent overcomes the adverse conditions he faces in 2026, but that's not a bet I'm eager to make in the second round of fantasy football drafts.
Tony Pollard to outplay his draft cost (lingering in the RB3 range in plenty of drafts)
Pollard will be lingering in the RB3 range in plenty of drafts, but I think he returns strong RB2 value and production this season.
David Montgomery to be 1st on the depth chart
Many will worry that Montgomery will split Houston's backfield workload with Woody Marks this season, but I don't see that happening. Montgomery should absorb a workload close to what Joe Mixon saw in 2024.
Tony Pollard to be 1st on the depth chart
Tony Pollard remains the clear leadback for the Titans entering the 2026 season... Brian Daboll, his new offensive coordinator, has historically ridden one running back in his offenses, and Pollard looks to be that guy this season.
Carnell Tate to be 1st on the depth chart
Tate will have to contend with Wan'Dale Robinson and Calvin Ridley for the WR1 spot in the Tennessee offense, but he has the talent to be the clear WR1 from Week 1.
Ted Hurst to outplay his draft cost (RK76)
the athletic profile, target-earning ability, and landing spot make Hurst an appealing upside bet for both dynasty and deeper redraft formats
Jordyn Tyson to be 2nd on the depth chart
Jordyn Tyson lands with the New Orleans Saints and should be the immediate second target in an ascending passing game led by Tyler Shough.

K.C. Concepcion to outplay his draft cost (RK53)
his ability to create offense on his own makes him one of the more intriguing rookie sleeper receivers in fantasy football considered he has first-round draft capital
K.C. ConcepcionCleveland Browns
Antonio Williams to outplay his draft cost (RK77)
Antonio Williams is a sneaky Day 2 value who projects into an immediate slot role in Washington's offense.
Antonio WilliamsWashington Commanders
Antonio Williams to be 2nd on the depth chart
there's a clear path to volume behind Terry McLaurin

Makai Lemon to outplay his draft cost (RK42)
Still, Lemon's talent and long-term upside make him an intriguing bench stash and rookie breakout candidate
Makai LemonPhiladelphia Eagles
Carnell Tate to outplay his draft cost (RK30)
Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward's ability to take off in his second season... I'll be drafting Tate a ton.
De'Zhaun Stribling to outplay his draft cost (RK66)
Stribling is a great late-round selection in fantasy football drafts in 2026.
De'Zhaun StriblingSan Francisco 49ers
Jordyn Tyson to outplay his draft cost (RK38)
If so, he could take off in his rookie season for a team that could easily be pass-happy.
Jordyn TysonNew Orleans Saints
Drake Maye to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points
He's a top-five fantasy quarterback moving forward.
Lamar Jackson to finish QB1 (1–12) at his position, by fantasy points
Jackson has been an elite fantasy scorer at the position for so long that it's reasonable to think better health will propel him to another high-end QB1 season.
Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost (Late-Round)
