# Nathan Jahnke: PFF's unsigned fantasy football preseason recap draws depth-chart and roster conclusions from preseason usage — TeSlaa as the Lions' No. 3 receiver, DeMario Douglas as the Patriots' clear No. 3, Jeremiyah Love ahead of Tyler Allgeier in Arizona, Kimani Vidal third and Keaton Mitchell second in the Chargers' backfield, Marlin Klein as Houston's second tight end — while calling Mitchell a top sleeper and advising against drafting Gunnar Helm, Mike Gesicki and Pat Freiermuth.

10 checkable claims — 8 depth chart calls and 2 roster spot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 17 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 6 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 5.

> The fact that Mitchell didn’t play while Vidal did suggests Vidal is a clear third on the depth chart.

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.
