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.

Jalen Coker to outplay his draft cost
Breakout Candidate — The Panthers have already demonstrated their belief in former undrafted free agent Jalen Coker... Instead, 2026 presents an opportunity for him to earn more recognition as a versatile secondary option who can make plays both from the slot and out wide.
Luke Fortner to be 1st on the depth chart
While Luke Fortner enters the season as the likely starter, Hecht has a realistic path to becoming Carolina's starting center in the near future.
Zachariah Branch to be 4th on the depth chart
don’t be shocked to see rookie third-round draft pick Zachariah Brand finish fourth on this team in targets

Jawaan Taylor to be 1st on the depth chart
Kaleb McGary retired... leaving a significant hole along the offensive line... but Taylor provides a solid replacement after earning PFF pass-blocking grades of 69.5 and 67.3 over the past two seasons.
Tua Tagovailoa to be 1st on the depth chart
There are no guarantees he will return in time for the start of the regular season, giving Tua Tagovailoa the early edge in the quarterback competition.
Drake London to be 1st on the depth chart
Wide receiver depth is a concern: Drake London remains the clear No. 1 option
Jayden Higgins to outplay his draft cost
Instead, someone like Jayden Higgins of the Houston Texans is a better pick. Higgins only finished 47th in fantasy points per game last season, but he is younger; there is more reason to expect his role to increase
Khalil Shakir to fall short of his draft cost
He is a fine bye-week fill-in or flex option in a deeper league, but he is not the kind of player who will win you your fantasy league.
Alvin Kamara to be 2nd on the depth chart
Alvin Kamara, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Woody Marks are all backups now.
Isaac TeSlaa to outplay his draft cost
Instead, consider drafting a player with potential upside, like Isaac TeSlaa.
Woody Marks to be 2nd on the depth chart
Alvin Kamara, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Woody Marks are all backups now.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
Alvin Kamara, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Woody Marks are all backups now.
Jonathon Brooks to be 1st on the depth chart
A healthy Jonathon Brooks should lead the Carolina Panthers backfield: The former second-round pick is finally healthy, and if he proves he can stay on the field, he has a clear path to becoming Carolina's lead back.
After cycling through every position on the field, PFF’s individual player rankings have now reached the final defensive spot: Safety. ... Kyle Hamilton comes in No. 1 ... 29. Camryn Bynum , Indianapolis Colts
PFF's offseason NFL positional rankings continue with cornerbacks... Devon Witherspoon leads the way... 2. Sauce Gardner, Indianapolis Colts... Nixon has become the Packers' best cornerback.
Josh Allen takes the top spot: The Buffalo Bills quarterback has consistently ranked at or near the top overall spot at quarterback, and he has shown no signs of slowing down.
Nick Cross to finish top 1 at his position, by interceptions
Nick Cross leads all defensive backs: Cross has over 120 combined tackles each of the last two seasons and will be a tackling machine for the Washington Commanders.
Devon Witherspoon to finish top 1 at his position, by interceptions
Devon Witherspoon is the top cornerback: The Super Bowl champion has recorded 249 combined tackles over three seasons.
Jimmy Horn Jr. to make the roster
Unless Carolina keeps seven wide receivers or injuries create another opening, Horn appears unlikely to make the 53-man roster.
Xavier Legette to be 3rd on the depth chart
Brazzell was expected to compete with Xavier Legette for the No. 3 receiver role, but his injury makes Legette the clear favorite for the job.
Reggie Virgil to make the roster
fifth-round rookie Reggie Virgil is likely to make the roster
Bam Knight to be 3rd on the depth chart
Knight is currently fifth on the depth chart, but he has a chance to be named RB3 on the depth chart.
Ja'Tavion Sanders to be 3rd on the depth chart
Sanders fell to third on the Panthers’ unofficial depth chart behind Evans despite playing more than him last season.
