- 1Dylan Sampson to outplay his draft cost (100 picks later)“I just don't see how the situation is so dramatically improved for an RB who is coming off a brutal season-ending injury to thrive. Give me Sampson 100 picks later.”
- 2Josh Jacobs to fall short of his draft cost (RB15, Overall RK36 | ECR vs. ADP: -8)“But as the 28-year-old continues to pile up volume and small injuries, fantasy managers should be wary of the production tapering off.”
- 3Quinshon Judkins to fall short of his draft cost (RB21, Overall RK55 | ECR vs. ADP: -9)“Judkins screams to me as a volume-driven fantasy football RB2. To me, that profiles as replaceable production that isn't necessarily built to last.”

How each call scored
3 checkable claims — 2 fantasy bust calls and 1 sleeper call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
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.
