# Pat Fitzmaurice: Fitzmorris agrees Judkins will be a bell cow but thinks his yardage/TD projections are too aggressive, is excited about Colson Loveland as his TE3 with room to exceed his projection, ranks Jackson Dart QB13 and Jared Goff QB19, sides with the bullish Jameson Williams projection, and calls the Rashee Rice projection too rosy given injury and off-field risk.

8 checkable claims — 4 positional finishes, 2 fantasy bust calls, 1 depth chart call and 1 sleeper call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

Of the 5 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 3 and below it on 2.

> I just don't feel the projections are baking in the injury risk and the poor judgment risk here, simple as that.

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.
