# Nic Bodiford: A PFF fantasy piece names three tight ends to draft: Colston Loveland as the most affordable of the top-three contenders for the overall TE1 finish (with Brock Bowers and Trey McBride the others), Dalton Kincaid as a buy-low who can finish as a high-end TE1, and Terrance Ferguson as a breakout high-end TE2 who will work as the Rams' de facto No. 3 receiver. **Claimed:** Aug 27, 2026 **Pundit:** Nic Bodiford — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/nic-bodiford **Outlet:** Pro Football Focus — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/pro-football-focus **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-2026-must-draft-tight-ends-for-home-leagues/ 9 checkable claims — 5 positional finishes, 3 sleeper calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 10 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 2 and below it on 2. > Kincaid can finish as a high-end TE1 this season. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Terrance Ferguson to be 3rd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Terrance Ferguson, Los Angeles Rams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Terrance Ferguson to outplay his draft cost (13.11, TE21 Yahoo!

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.
