Pat Fitzmaurice#8 of 87 NFL pundits · Sep 3, 2026
Fitzmaurice names three tight ends to target in 2026 fantasy drafts: Brock Bowers (worth taking late in the second or early third round, and poised to be Las Vegas' top pass catcher), Tyler Warren (should be among the first five TEs drafted), and Tucker Kraft (big numbers if healthy).

How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
The 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 call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
