TODAY'S SIGNAL
High
Fresh coach and team evidence strengthened two eligible endgame cases, while San Francisco’s major receiver news remains important market context rather than a reason to break the ADP gate.

WHAT'S NEW
SF WRMARKET CONTEXT
Deebo returns as Pearsall re-aggravates PCLSan Francisco confirmed Pearsall re-aggravated his PCL and plans to involve Deebo broadly after his return.
Why it matters: Deebo and Stribling are outside our endgame range at current ADPs, but the news increases uncertainty around the 49ers pass-game hierarchy.
PIT WRENDGAME SIGNAL
Roman Wilson earns multi-position role praiseMike McCarthy said Wilson has done exactly what was asked, can play X, Z and F, and has impressed both inside and outside.
Why it matters: At an ADP around 216, Wilson remains inexpensive, and direct praise from Mike McCarthy adds another reason to believe he can earn a meaningful role in Pittsburgh’s offense.
CAR WRCONFIRMED BENEFIT
Legette gets another post-Brazzell endorsementDave Canales said the Panthers have big plans for Xavier Legette and emphasized his timing and familiarity with Bryce Young after Brazzell’s season-ending surgery.
Why it matters: This corroborates the existing injury-beneficiary thesis and keeps Legette near the top of the endgame board.
CAR TEENDGAME WATCH
JT Sanders earns strong camp praiseCanales called Sanders amazing, highlighted his route work and reliability, and noted multiple tough catches in camp.
Why it matters: At an ADP around 216, Sanders is inexpensive, and strong camp praise gives us more reason to believe his receiving role can grow. Carolina’s tight end rotation still limits the ceiling for now.

TODAY'S BOARD
Top 10 Endgame Targets
Ranked by current endgame value. Draft rationale explains the specific case for each player.
| Rank | Player | ADP | BBS Score | Conviction | Draft Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pat Bryant | 203.1 | 75.2 | High | Role SecuredExisting late-round thesis remains intact; no contradictory evidence in today’s sources. |
| 2 | Adam Randall | 215.8 | 70.5 | High | Contingent UpsideRare contingency profile and organizational investment remain the strongest stable late-round RB case. |
| 3 | Xavier Legette | 215.9 | 70.0 | High | Role ConfirmedBrazzell’s season-ending surgery plus Canales’ follow-up endorsement strengthen route and role stability. |
| 4 | Ty Johnson | 215.7 | 67.5 | High | Price AdvantagePassing-down role thesis remains unchanged at near-free acquisition cost. |
| 5 | Tyquan Thornton | 209.9 | 67.1 | Medium | Role CompetitionPrior reports continue to support his role in the Chiefs receiver competition. |
| 6 | Jordan James | 207.9 | 63.0 | Medium | Health UncertaintyRib injury interrupts an otherwise attractive RB2 path. Keep exposure paused until health clarity. |
| 7 | Elijah Sarratt | 205.7 | 62.8 | Medium | Needs ConfirmationRole remains attractive, but entity-resolution uncertainty caps conviction. |
| 8 | Roman Wilson | 216.0 | 62.5 | High | Role ExpansionMcCarthy says Wilson can play X, Z and F and has done exactly what the staff asked; prior GM praise corroborates the rise. |
| 9 | Jaylen Wright | 215.7 | 61.6 | High | Opportunity RisingDirect coach praise adds support to an open RB2 competition and upgrades his late-round case. |
| 10 | Ja'Tavion Sanders | 215.7 | 60.9 | Medium | Camp Role SignalCanales praised his route work, reliability and tough catches; committee usage still caps conviction. |
WATCH LIST
Do not convert uncertainty into false convictionSignals Requiring More Evidence
Kaelon BlackSF RB · WATCH
Jordan James’ rib injury plus direct praise of Black’s NFL-ready running style creates a legitimate contingent role signal. Eligible at ADP 214.3.
Brenen ThompsonLAC WR · WATCH
Mike McDaniel said Thompson captured the QB room’s attention with his ownership of the offense and professional approach. Eligible at ADP 215.9.
Skyler BellBUF WR · WATCH
Independent support remains positive, but today produced no new corroboration strong enough to keep him above the fresh Wilson/Sanders signals.
Juwan JohnsonNO TE · NOT ENDGAME
Positive leadership and QB-connection evidence still matters as NFL context, but canonical ADP 156.0 makes him ineligible for the endgame board.
Draft implications: publish recommendations only for canonical ADP ≥193 players. Roman Wilson enters the Top 10 and Ja’Tavion Sanders enters at No. 10; Jordan James remains paused. Juwan Johnson, Deebo Samuel and De’Zhaun Stribling are context only, not endgame recommendations.
