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 Sports Illustrated’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.

Corey Rucker to make the roster
But don't bet against Chase Roberts and Corey Rucker, and keep a close eye on EJ Williams
Phillip Dorsett to make the roster
When you are a rebuilding team, clearly not in the Super Bowl hunt, you take his spot with a younger receiver like EJ Williams or Corey Rucker
Here's how the rookies rank before the Rams wrap up training camp. 5. DL Tim Keenan III (7th Round) ... 4. TE Max Klare (2nd Round) ... 3. OL Keagen Trost (3rd Round) ... 2. QB Ty Simpson (1st Round) ... 1. WR CJ Daniels (6th Round)
Chad Muma to be 3rd on the depth chart
Chad Muma, who's starting to lock himself in as the third linebacker, remained in that role.
Mike Sando of The Athletic, who polls GMs, coaches, scouts, and other league personnel every year... unveiled his 2026 preseason quarterback rankings. Based on the voting, Dart ranked 24th overall, just ahead of fellow 2025 draftees Cam Ward and Tyler Shough... Dart, who ranked one spot behind Kyler Murray
Jacoby Brissett to finish top 33 at his position, by passing yards
The Athletic recently tiered every quarterback ahead of the 2026 season. Admittedly so, Brissett's ranking of 33rd out of 35 passers obviously isn't great
Tyler Bass to be 1st on the depth chart
Although fans continue to wait for visual proof, Bass is apparently on track to be the Bills' Week 1 kicker.
Shedeur Sanders to be 1st on the depth chart
this “competition” will not deter them from starting Sanders the majority of the season.
George Pickens to move to Dallas Cowboys
If all goes well for Pickens in 2026 and he indeed commands the kind of deal he believes he's worth, the most likely scenario is the Cowboys tag the veteran and trade him to the highest bidder.
D.J. Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
The hopes are high for D.J. Moore as the Buffalo Bills' new No. 1 wide receiver.
Nohl Williams to be 2nd on the depth chart
Williams is quickly running away with the CB2 job... it's about as safe a bet as you can make that Williams will be seeing CB2 reps come Week 1 against the Denver Broncos.
Mansoor Delane to be 1st on the depth chart
everyone is wondering who will win the CB2 battle opposite first-round rookie Mansoor Delane on the boundary
Spencer Shrader to be 2nd on the depth chart
Veterans Blake Grupe and Spencer Shrader have both proven to be viable starting options in the NFL, but one has begun to separate themself as the favorite to earn the opening. ... makes him [Grupe] the favorite moving forward.
Blake Grupe to be 1st on the depth chart
Grupe has not missed a field goal attempt since donning the Colts' horseshoe, and as a result, is the favorite to earn the team's starting kicker opening after six training camp practices.
Asante Samuel Jr. to be 2nd on the depth chart
The way he's playing, he appears to be pushing for cornerback two reps. He's moved beyond being the first backup
Asante Samuel Jr.Pittsburgh Steelers
Quez Watkins to make the roster
Quez Watkins (remember him) is even getting reps with the first team. Watkins essentially has no shot of making this roster.
Britain Covey to make the roster
Covey is battling with Darius Cooper for a roster spot, and may make it based on his ability to return punts and chemistry with Jalen Hurts.
Kingsley Enagbare to record 6 sacks
If his early camp success carries over into this season and provides the Jets six or seven sacks, Enagbare would become much more than just help the run, emerging as one of the team's most valuable additions and playing a vital role in their pass rush.
Kingsley EnagbareNew York Jets
Chicago Bears to finish with 10 wins
Connor Orr predicted all 272 games of the 2026 NFL season, his annual tradition for Sports Illustrated, and he had the Bears finishing with a 10-7 record.
Shavon Revel Jr. to be 3rd on the depth chart
Overall, Durant has been the more consistent player over Revel, but the gap for CB2 has tightened a bit since the pads came on. If the Cowboys had to make their decision ... Durant would probably get the nod instead of Revel.
Cobie Durant to be 1st on the depth chart
If the Cowboys had to make their decision about who will start across from Bland today, Durant would probably get the nod instead of Revel.
Josh Jacobs to fall short of his draft cost (a fringe RB1)
Jacobs is being drafted as a fringe RB1, and better options are being drafted behind him.
Christian McCaffrey to fall short of his draft cost (being drafted as a top three fantasy running back)
CMC is being drafted as a top three fantasy running back this season. He is far too risky to buy into that and draft him that high.
Isaiah Likely to be 1st on the depth chart
The TE1 played with a two-time MVP quarterback in Lamar Jackson, and he notices some similarities in his new quarterback.
New York Giants to pick at number 10
Renner paired LSU offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, a Colorado transfer, with the Giants at pick No. 10.
