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.

Jarrett Stidham to be 2nd on the depth chart
But Stidham shined in Atlanta, with 131 passing yards and a touchdown, showing clear separation between himself and Ehlinger. It's looking like a fourth straight season of Stidham as QB2 behind Bo Nix.
