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 Pro Football Focus’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.

Tyquan Thornton to be 3rd on the depth chart
Tyquan Thornton remains the WR3: While Cyrus Allen has received plenty of praise during training camp, Thornton remains high on Kansas City’s depth chart.
Malik Benson to be 2nd on the depth chart
However, Benson has played well enough in training camp to suggest he might be ahead of Thornton on the depth chart at this point.
Denzel Boston to be 1st on the depth chart
Boston has secured Cleveland’s X receiver role after he, Jerry Jeudy and KC Concepcion started the first preseason game.
Christian Kirk to make the roster
Kirk hasn’t been able to play with a calf strain and seems unlikely to make the roster
Zachariah Branch to fall short of his draft cost (late-round fantasy picks)
While several third-round wide receivers are worthy of late-round fantasy picks this year, Branch shouldn’t be one of them because his upside appears limited.
Malachi Fields to be 1st on the depth chart
That usage suggests Fields has won the starting X job, with Beckham as his backup.
Malik Davis to be 2nd on the depth chart
This suggests Davis is currently the favorite for the backup job
Jaylen Wright to be 2nd on the depth chart
Jaylen Wright remains the RB2 for Miami: Wright has played ahead of Ollie Gordon II for the second straight week.
Brenen Thompson to be a starter
Brenen Thompson was notably the starter in this game over KeAndre Lambert-Smith, making it clear the rookie is ahead on the depth chart.
Calvin Austin III to be 1st on the depth chart
Austin appears to be the primary slot receiver.
Odell Beckham Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
That usage suggests Fields has won the starting X job, with Beckham as his backup.
Jaydon Blue to fall short of his draft cost (the late rounds)
Blue was worth drafting in the late rounds when it seemed clear he was on track to win the backup job, but this is now a situation to avoid.
Stefon Diggs to be 3rd on the depth chart
On the first drive, McLaurin lined up at X, Burks at Z and Diggs in the slot in 11 personnel. ... His usage in this game suggests he could again be limited primarily to 11 personnel
Jaylin Lane to make the roster
That usage suggests Lane could be the odd man out if Washington keeps only seven wide receivers.
Bucky Irving to be 1st on the depth chart
All this game did was confirm that Irving is the lead back.
Eli Stowers to make the roster
Stowers should still make the roster given his draft capital
Ja'Kobi Lane to be 3rd on the depth chart
More evidence that Ja’Kobi Lane is the Ravens’ WR3: Lane appears poised for a significant role in Baltimore’s offense this season.
Omar Cooper to be 3rd on the depth chart
Omar Cooper Jr. starts for the Jets ... Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell appear set as the top two wide receivers
Roman Wilson to be 3rd on the depth chart
This suggests there is no clear favorite for the third spot, and if anything, Wilson has a slight lead given his playing time in the slot this week.
Darnell Washington to be 1st on the depth chart
This suggests Washington will play more snaps this season, but Freiermuth will run more routes.
Efton Chism III to be 7th on the depth chart
It’s clear through the first two preseason games that Williams and Chism sit sixth and seventh on the depth chart.
Demond Claiborne to be 3rd on the depth chart
Demond Claiborne locks into the RB3 spot ... his spot as one of Minnesota’s top three running backs appears secure.
Calvin Ridley to be 1st on the depth chart
For the first three drives, Ridley played X, Tate played Z and Robinson lined up in the slot. ... Titans’ wide receiver depth chart appears set
Erick All to finish top 37 at his position, by fantasy points
Fant finished as TE37 last season, while All was TE38 over the first nine weeks of 2024. A similar finish is a reasonable expectation for All this season.
Jonathon Brooks to outplay his draft cost (his current ADP)
His ADP has skyrocketed, but he still might be a value at his current ADP. ... Brooks is someone to continue targeting in drafts.
