TODAY'S SIGNAL
High
Fresh coach and market evidence strengthened several endgame cases. Elijah Sarratt now has clearer support as Baltimore's leading WR3 candidate, Caleb Douglas earned direct praise for his contested-catch ability, and LeQuint Allen received specific confirmation of a third-down role path. Xavier Legette also gained meaningful independent market support. One player enters the Top 10.

WHAT'S NEW
ES
BAL WRROLE SIGNAL
Sarratt emerges as Baltimore's leading WR3 candidateThe latest camp review identifies Sarratt as the current leader over Jacobe Lane, with a defined slot and dirty-work role.
Why it matters: This resolves yesterday's uncertainty around his standing. At an endgame price, a clearer path to regular snaps in Baltimore's offense materially improves the case.
CD
MIA WRENDGAME RISER
Douglas earns direct praise after a major rankings riseJeff Hafley praised Douglas' contested catches, size and catch radius while noting he has been moved around the formation.
Why it matters: The praise is specific and independently supported by a large CSI best-ball rankings move. He enters the Top 10, although the coach's 'ways to go' caveat keeps conviction at Medium.
JAX RBROLE SIGNAL
Allen gets a specific third-down role endorsementJacksonville highlighted Allen's protection, toughness, route ability and receiving value as traits that fit third-down and two-minute work.
Why it matters: This is more actionable than generic camp praise because it identifies a real path to high-value touches. He moves to the front of the Watch List pending usage confirmation.
CAR WRCONFIRMED BENEFIT
Legette's existing case gains independent market supportCSI moved Legette up 12 spots after Chris Brazzell was removed, reinforcing the opportunity created by Brazzell's season-ending injury.
Why it matters: The new market evidence corroborates the existing injury-beneficiary thesis rather than creating a new one. Legette moves up the board but remains behind Pat Bryant.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  1Pat Bryant | 205.1 | 75.2 | High | Camp ConfirmationA long 11-on-11 touchdown from Bo Nix adds fresh practice confirmation to an already strong late-round role thesis. |
| 2 | 2 Xavier Legette | 215.2 | 71.5 | High | Independent ConfirmationBrazzell's season-ending injury already improved the role outlook; a 12-spot CSI rankings rise now adds independent support. |
| 3 |  3Adam Randall | 215.9 | 70.5 | High | Contingent UpsideRare contingency profile and organizational investment remain the strongest stable late-round RB case. |
| 4 | KB 4Kaelon Black | 204.1 | 68.0 | High | Opportunity CreatedJordan James' rib injury keeps immediate reps available, while prior staff support preserves Black's meaningful backup-role path. |
| 5 | ES 5Elijah Sarratt | 207.8 | 67.8 | High | WR3 LeadSarratt is now identified as Baltimore's current WR3 leader, giving his endgame price a clearer path to weekly routes. |
| 6 |  6Ty Johnson | 215.7 | 67.5 | High | Price AdvantagePassing-down role thesis remains intact, and CSI's latest best-ball update moved him up two spots. |
| 7 |  7Tyquan Thornton | 210.8 | 67.1 | Medium | Opportunity HoldsHe remains in Kansas City's primary receiver mix, but unresolved injury timelines around teammates prevent a stronger upgrade. |

WATCH LIST
Do not convert uncertainty into false convictionSignals Requiring More Evidence
LeQuint AllenJAX RB · WATCH ↑
Specific third-down and two-minute role traits are now confirmed. We still need practice usage showing that the role is actually his. Current ADP: 218.0.
Brenen ThompsonLAC WR · WATCH
Multiple team endorsements remain meaningful, but first-team usage is still the next checkpoint. Current ADP: 215.9.
Jordan JamesSF RB · PAUSED
A fractured rib interrupts an otherwise attractive backup-RB case. Keep him paused until practice participation clarifies the recovery. Current ADP: 211.3.
Ja'Tavion SandersCAR TE · WATCH
The talent and prior coach praise remain interesting, but committee usage leaves less role certainty than today's new Top-10 entrants. Current ADP: 215.8.
Jaylen WrightMIA RB · WATCH
Earlier praise remains positive, but Ollie Gordon is now being asked to compete for an every-down role. More backfield usage evidence is needed. Current ADP: 215.7.
Endgame recommendations remain limited to players at ADP 193 or later. Broader-market stories are shown only when they materially change a draft decision. Today's upgrades are driven by specific role evidence and corroborating market movement, not news volume alone.
