Evan TarraccianoAug 7, 2026
Tarracciano names five wide receivers ranked outside the top 30 whom they are targeting in 2026 fantasy drafts: Parker Washington (whom they project for their first 1,000-yard season and as Jacksonville's top receiving threat), Wan'Dale Robinson, Makai Lemon, Romeo Doubs (whom they slot as New England's WR2), and Malik Washington.

The page this came from has changed since we captured it on Aug 7, 2026. The quote and evidence here are from our capture, not from what the page says today.
- 1Parker Washington to record 1,000 receiving yards“I don’t think that it is outrageous to project Washington for his first 1,000 receiving-yard season in 2026.”
- 2Wan'Dale Robinson to outplay his draft cost (WR43 in our rankings)“Dismissing last season as a fluke has caused his ADP to plummet and his ranking to slip; currently, we have him pegged at WR43 in our rankings. Much like Rodney Dangerfield, Robinson is currently getting no respect, and it is high time for to change.”
- 3Romeo Doubs to be 2nd on the depth chart“He slides in immediately as the WR2 opposite A.J. Brown”
- 4Parker Washington to be 1st on the depth chart“I favored Washington over Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers as the Jaguars’ main receiving threat for 2026”
- 5Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (a late-round value)“Washington is somehow slipping in drafts as a late-round value... He’s a favorite WR3 target for me in drafts this year.”
- 6Malik Washington to outplay his draft cost (WR74)“Washington is the first Dolphins wideout listed on our ECR as a mid-tier 7 option, at WR74. I understand the hesitation, but the upside alone presents a massive return on investment”
- 7Romeo Doubs to outplay his draft cost (the middle rounds)“I still envision Doubs as a WR3 play, but his upside warrants consideration in the middle rounds as a dart throw worth investing in.”

How each call scored
7 checkable claims — 4 sleeper calls, 2 depth chart calls and 1 player season number — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
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.

Pat Fitzmaurice · Score Predictions · New England Patriots · Miss 14
Fitzmaurice predicted a 24-21 Patriots win over the Packers, said they would not be surprised if Jonathan Taylor were inactive amid trade talk, pegged Jonah Coleman as an RB22 rest-of-season value, expected Evan Hull to be Arizona's backup back, and saw Kerby Joseph returning in Week 10 or 11.Kevin Wildes · Game Outcome Picks · New England Patriots · Miss 0

Wright argued the Jaguars are the AFC's most complete team, calling them the considerable favorite for the No. 1 seed and the only club essentially locked into the playoffs.

Mangini picked New England to beat Green Bay by more than a field goal, flagged Tampa Bay as their upset alert over Chicago, expects Kansas City to handle the Jets, took Buffalo over Minnesota, backed Cincinnati over Atlanta in Madrid, and updated their Super Bowl to Rams–Bengals.Connor Rogers · Game Outcome Picks · New England Patriots · Miss 0
Rogers picked straight-up winners in every Week 9 game, agreeing with Simms on all of them, and gave a 24-20 Bills score over the Vikings on Monday night.
