- 1Tre Tucker to be 1st on the depth chart“Or at least I think Tucker will be the Raiders’ lead receiver, and his preseason usage certainly suggested it.”
- 2Malik Willis to record 1,000 rushing yards“But the appeal of Willis is that if he plays 17 games, he might run for 1,000 yards. Yes, he’s that good of a runner.”
- 3Dontayvion Wicks to be 1st on the depth chart“A.J. Brown‘s departure from Philadelphia left lot of vacated targets, and Wicks is expected to fill Brown’s role as the starting X receiver.”
- 4Malachi Fields to be 2nd on the depth chart“Third-round pick Malachi Fields is expected to open the season as the Giants’ No. 2 receiver behind Malik Nabers, who’s coming back from a major knee injury.”

How each call scored
4 checkable claims — 3 depth chart calls and 1 player season number — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 3.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
