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.

Kaelon Black to be 2nd on the depth chart
Kaelon Black starts for San Francisco: Black appears to have the lead in the competition for the 49ers’ backup running back job.
Brashard Smith to make the roster
It’s also possible Smith doesn’t make the roster if Kansas City keeps only three running backs.
Kyle Pitts to be 1st on the depth chart
Pitts could still be a fantasy starting tight end this season with that usage, but it would be more difficult for him to finish among the top-eight at the position.
Myles Price to be 4th on the depth chart
The fact that Price didn’t play in this game while Tai Felton did suggests Price is fourth on the depth chart.
C.J. Daniels to make the roster
This means sixth-round rookie CJ Daniels will only make the roster if the Rams keep seven wide receivers.
Justin Watson to be 6th on the depth chart
Justin Watson and Jared Wayne remain ahead of recently acquired veterans Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones for a potential sixth and seventh spot on the wide receiver depth chart.
Phil Mafah to make the roster
Mafah playing in this game makes it clear that he is behind both and could be in danger of missing the roster
Kendre Miller to make the roster
Miller’s roster spot now appears safe
Terry McLaurin to be 1st on the depth chart
Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs were two of the players locked in to the roster as they are the starters
Elijah Arroyo to be 2nd on the depth chart
Still, he remains the top backup receiving tight end and should see a decent amount of playing time this season.
Brycen Tremayne to make the roster
This means Tremayne is the one backup receiver who is a lock to make the roster.
Max Klare to be 5th on the depth chart
He will likely be a healthy inactive each week as long as the other four tight ends remain healthy.
Charlie Jones to make the roster
he is listed as Cincinnati’s top kick and punt returner and will likely make the roster because of his special teams value
Tom Kennedy to make the roster
Tom Kennedy is the next man up among the outside receivers, and appears to have secured a roster spot.
Justin Joly to make the roster
While tight end Justin Joly is likely to make the roster as a fifth-round pick, he didn’t enter the game until late in the second quarter
Devin Duvernay to make the roster
Duvernay appears locked into a roster spot, likely more because of his special teams value than his receiving ability.
Jahdae Walker to be 5th on the depth chart
Jahdae Walker appears locked in to the Bears’ fifth wide receiver spot.
Dohnte Meyers to be 5th on the depth chart
Colbie Young and Dohnte Meyers appear to be fourth and fifth on Cincinnati’s wide receiver depth chart.
Emmett Johnson to be 2nd on the depth chart
This suggests Johnson will be Walker’s primary backup to start the season.
Reggie Virgil to make the roster
Fifth-round rookie Reggie Virgil hasn’t been able to move up the depth chart but is also likely to make the roster.
Pat Bryant to be 3rd on the depth chart
In reality, Bryant is likely the third wide receiver, as he sat out this game.
Odell Beckham Jr. to make the roster
In this game, Beckham was the X receiver, Slayton was at Z and Berrios was in the slot... Assuming New York keeps six wide receivers, these are the likely six.
Charlie Kolar to be 1st on the depth chart
More evidence that Charlie Kolar is the Chargers’ top tight end: Kolar was the only Chargers tight end to play every snap with the starters.
Malik McClain to be 6th on the depth chart
The most interesting battle is for the Jets' potential sixth wide receiver spot, where undrafted rookie Malik McClain has played ahead of 2025 fourth-round pick Arian Smith throughout the preseason.
Tyjae Spears to be 2nd on the depth chart
Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are currently locked into the top two spots on the depth chart.
