# Nick Raducanu: In their Week 7 WR/TE target report, Raducanu argues Emeka Egbuka is a rising WR3 and buy-low whose production will grow, calls Isaiah Likely a top-3 fantasy tight end, tabs Matthew Golden a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside, and says Jalen Coker should be a must-start WR2/flex while healthy. They also recommend selling high on Keenan Allen.

4 checkable claims — 4 positional finishes — 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 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> Is Isaiah Likely a top-3 fantasy tight end at this point? When you factor in his usage ... the answer is increasingly hard to argue against.

## More positional finishes

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- Nick Wright on Puka Nacua: Nick Wright picked the Ravens to beat Houston this weekend even with Lamar Jackson possibly out (leaning on Derrick Henry and Cooper Rush), the Chiefs to win in Jacksonville, and the Rams to beat the 49ers on Thursday night. They also laid out an AFC playoff field of Bills, Steelers, Chiefs, Chargers and Colts, projected the Chiefs' receiver pecking order once Rashee Rice returns, and called Justin Jefferson the best receiver in football with Puka Nacua a top-five receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d48b8521-6883-4f25-99f1-6f552bfe5a94 (scored 75)

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
