How the call scored
a naive guessbetter than naiveOne checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
The call scored 87.5 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
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.

Mike Harmon · Fantasy Rankings · Hit 80
Harmon gave his Week 18 fantasy rankings — top five quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers — plus lists of 'hot plays,' 'cold sores' (players to avoid) and 'ninjas' (sneaky plays), and said Trevor Lawrence would land around a top-four fantasy quarterback finish for the season.Marcas Grant · Fantasy Rankings · Miss 25
Grant says De'Von Achane deserves to be a top-three pick in fantasy drafts next season, keeps Breece Hall as the Jets' clear RB1 over Isaiah Davis, and lists their five league winners for the fantasy semifinals with Saquon Barkley on top. They also pick Josh Allen as the week's top quarterback and Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the top wide receiver.Andrew Erickson · Fantasy Rankings · Close 75
