Hello all. Some of you may have read my recent Man vs. Machine series, where I compared players with similar expected 2026 ADPs against each other, and looked at which one I’d choose, which one the computer would choose, and which one the community preferred in each matchup, should both be available when drafting. Across the 4 articles, and 24 comparisons, the polls drew 5011 total votes. Despite the community voters siding with my choices more often than the computer, it wasn't exactly a runaway victory: Community sided with my pick 9 times Community sided with computer pick 7 times There were also 8 occasions where both me and the Computer selected the same player 7/8 of those the Community sided with me and the Computer. The only matchup where the community went against both was Ashton Jeanty vs De'Von Achane.

Photo Finishes (50-52%) Community result Total votes Jake (me) Computer Community aligned with 51% prefer Brock Bowers over Trey McBride 321 Bowers McBride Jake only 52% prefer Javonte Williams over Josh Jacobs 183 Williams Williams Both To the surprise of no-one, the Bowers vs. McBride matchup was definitely the closest vote. Not only did it have the most votes but it was also decided by the smallest margin. Up until very recently this was essentially gridlocked at a 50% split but a few late Bowers votes give him the slender victory. Javonte also narrowly got the nod ahead of Jacobs, with the community siding with me on both of these comparisons. Solid Leans (53-59%) Community result Total votes Jake Computer Community aligned with 53% prefer Amon-Ra St. Brown over Malik Nabers 184 Nabers St. Brown Computer only 53% prefer Romeo Doubs over Parker Washington 173 Doubs Washington Jake only 54% prefer Zay Flowers over Marvin Harrison Jr. 216 Harrison Jr. Flowers Computer only 54% prefer Ashton Jeanty over De'Von Achane 235 Achane Achane Neither 55% prefer Sam LaPorta over Oronde Gadsden II 245 LaPorta Gadsden Jake only 56% prefer George Pickens over Emeka Egbuka 239 Egbuka Pickens Computer only 57% prefer Jaylen Waddle over Jameson Williams 128 Waddle Waddle Both 58% prefer Ladd McConkey over Rashee Rice 144 McConkey McConkey Both 58% prefer Kyle Pitts over Isaiah Likely 255 Likely Pitts Computer only 59% prefer Tucker Kraft over Harold Fannin Jr. 326 Kraft Fannin Jr. Jake only Nabers vs. ARSB matchup was the most volatile. Nabers led the way for some time but Sun God pulled away in the end. In truth, you wouldn't go too far wrong with either of them. The one that personally surprised me the most in this grouping is Achane Vs Jeanty. I'm all in on Achane as a fantasy asset, even with the offense that's around him, but it's clear a lot of people still have faith that Jeanty's ceiling is above his as he won the vote, albeit by a slim margin of 4%. I like Jeanty, and I think the Raiders should be a far better offense in 2026 than this previous season (shouldn't be hard to improve considering how poor it was in 2025) but Achane has been an absolute fantasy work horse since entering the league and his 2025 season, where he didn't have a game under 12 fantasy points, deserves credit imo. The only one on here that I feel deserves an asterisk is the Rice vs McConke…
