Against the grain

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.

Dontayvion Wicks to be 2nd on the depth chart
Well, he's taken advantage of the opportunity that he's got opposite Devonta Smith in Philadelphia... So Jontavion Wicks is probably going to have a very big role in the Eagles. Offense

Nkobe Dean off to the Raiders. They'll replace him with Jihad Campbell, who was their first round pick a year ago.

Miller Moss to be a starter
With quarterback Tyson Bagent out due to a hamstring injury and Caleb Williams not likely to play, then that 38-year-old arm of Case Keenum better be ready to crank it up Saturday. It should be Miller Moss time for at least a half.
