# Scott Bogman: Bogman delivered five escalating hot takes: Cam Skattebo leads the Giants in touches as a rookie, Trey McBride leads all tight ends in touchdowns, Ricky Pearsall leads the 49ers in receiving yards, Matthew Golden finishes as a low-end fantasy WR2 (around WR24), and Anthony Richardson finishes as the QB6 in fantasy. **Claimed:** Aug 2, 2025 **Pundit:** Scott Bogman — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/scott-bogman **Outlet:** FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast/fantasy-football-hot-takes-bold-expert-predictions-for-the-2025-nfl-season-ep-1636 5 checkable claims — 3 positional finishes and 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 5 have settled, averaging 51.7 out of 100, against 38.3 for a naive guess at the same calls. > My first hot take is that Cam Scataboo leads the New York Giants in touches this season. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Ricky Pearsall to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: scored 83.33 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Anthony Richardson to finish top 6 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Matthew Golden to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Cam Skattebo to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Cam Skattebo, New York Giants - Verdict: scored 83.33 out of 100, against 91.67 for a naive guess - **Trey McBride to finish top 1 at his position, by receiving tds** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Trey McBride - Verdict: scored 91.67 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Ricky Pearsall — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ricky-pearsall - San Francisco 49ers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/49ers - Anthony Richardson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/anthony-richardson - Indianapolis Colts — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/colts - Matthew Golden — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/matthew-golden - Green Bay Packers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/packers - Cam Skattebo — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/cam-skattebo - New York Giants — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/giants - Trey McBride — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/trey-mcbride ## What others said about the same people - Parker Hurley on Khalid Kareem: Hurley predicts the 49ers will release Khalil Kareem when Nate Hobbs is activated and cut Brandin Cooks when C.J.
