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.

Fernando Mendoza to be 2nd on the depth chart
For now, he's working chiefly with the second team, but he has a shot to earn first-team reps over the next couple weeks.
Jadeveon Clowney to be 3rd on the depth chart
Clowney makes that group even deeper and more difficult to prepare for. ... Now, he can thrive as a third option on a dangerous defensive line.
Jadeveon ClowneyHouston Texans
RJ Harvey to be 2nd on the depth chart
Harvey's standing as the No. 2 running back and primary backfield pass-catching weapon remains strong.
Johnny Mundt to be 2nd on the depth chart
Johnny Mundt is getting the looks as the TE2, in "12 personnel" and "11 personnel."
Dontayvion Wicks to be 2nd on the depth chart
Lemon isn't leading the race for the WR2 battle. That belongs to Dontayvion Wicks, who has impressed early in training camp.
Uar Bernard to make the roster
He's never had a full padded practice, and will be learning on the developmental squad.
Darius Alexander to record 5 sacks
A versatile defensive tackle who can record five or more sacks should ensure the unit's growth in 2026.
Ruben Hyppolite II to make the roster
Their fourth-round pick from 2025 is going to be severely challenged to make the roster, particularly once T.J. Edwards gets back from his calf strain
Cam Lewis to be 1st on the depth chart
the slot battle between Jaylon Jones and Cam Lewis to replace injured Kyler Gordon. Look for Lewis to win that one eventually because Jones is new to that spot on the field and looks a bit overmatched.
Cole Wisniewski to be 3rd on the depth chart
He's behind Marcus Epps and Michael Carter II at safety, not really a factor in the starting safety battle.
Jalen Thompson to be 1st on the depth chart
Thompson was signed to a three-year, $33 million contract in free agency and is expected to be one of the starters at safety in 2026.
Tyler Linderbaum to be 1st on the depth chart
Las Vegas added Tyler Linderbaum to stabilize the interior of the offensive line.
Tyler LinderbaumLas Vegas Raiders
Kahlil Benson to make the roster
it's absolutely cause for optimism for Benson's path to making the 53-man roster
Jaylon Moore to be 1st on the depth chart
I'm still expecting Moore to start the season at right tackle when Kansas City takes the field in Week 1.
Josh Simmons to be 1st on the depth chart
second-year first-round pick Josh Simmons is the starting left tackle. That's easy.
Esa Pole to be 2nd on the depth chart
giving Moore the starting nod at right tackle while Pole continued to grow in a backup role with an eye toward 2027
Kolton Miller to be 1st on the depth chart
They expect Kolton Miller, DJ Glaze, and some combination of guards to solidify their starting offensive line.

DJ Glaze to be 1st on the depth chart
They expect Kolton Miller, DJ Glaze, and some combination of guards to solidify their starting offensive line.
Chuba Hubbard to be 1st on the depth chart
Hubbard should be considered the favorite to lead the Panthers' backfield out of the gate
Jonathon Brooks to be 2nd on the depth chart
we fully believe Brooks is going to be involved from the get-go with a fairly even split of touches
Tommy Togiai to be 2nd on the depth chart
By the end of last season, Togiai filled into the Texans' DT2 role next to Sheldon Rankins about as nicely as you could expect him to... So you can expect Togiai to have the chance at an even better season himself in what will be his third year with the Texans in 2026.
Rock Ya-Sin to be 1st on the depth chart
Ya-Sin has been the expected starter opposite of D.J. Reed
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. to be a starter
And that's probably where he'll have most of his time, but yet let's see what he can do inside too.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.Detroit Lions
D.J. Reed to be 1st on the depth chart
Rakestraw is expected to compete for the starting cornerback job opposite of D.J. Reed
Markel Bell to be 1st on the depth chart
Markel Bell should be the RT when Lane Johnson is out ... Perhaps Bell gets the next chance to play right tackle when lane Johnson is out. He should get that opportunity.
