What Pat Fitzmaurice said

So I think we just need to get like twelve or thirteen games, fourteen games out of him to have him be worth that mid first round pick.

How each call scored

12 checkable claims — 5 sleeper calls, 4 fantasy bust calls, 2 depth chart calls and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 20 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 1.

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.

Sleeper Calls5 waitingShow ▸
  1. Jameson Williams to outplay his draft cost (fifty on the button that ECR)

    “Pat is above at forty one... I don't want to forget about the season splits for Jamison Williams last year and how much better the second half was than the first half.”

  2. Kyle Pitts to outplay his draft cost (ECRs at eighty six)

    “I know people like hating on Kyle Pitts, but he's going to be a value in drafts yet again this year.”

  3. Mark Andrews to outplay his draft cost (ecs in between at one thirty)

    “pat has n't at one oh four... So I think if you punt tight end, Andrews is a worthwhile target.”

    Mark AndrewsBaltimore Ravens

  4. Kyren Williams to outplay his draft cost (this sort of late third round valuation)

    “right now, with this sort of late third round valuation, McVeigh could turn up the dials a little bit on Blake Koram's usage and scale back on Kyron, and Kyron could still pay off on this price point.”

  5. Christian McCaffrey to outplay his draft cost (that mid first round pick)

    “Pat has them ranked number seven overall... So I think we just need to get like twelve or thirteen games, fourteen games out of him to have him be worth that mid first round pick... that's why I'm willing to draft Christian McCaffrey in the middle of the first round.”

Fantasy Bust Calls4 waitingShow ▸
  1. Bhayshul Tuten to fall short of his draft cost (ECRs in between you guys at sixty five)

    “fits a year at seventy six... I'm nervous that Tuton winds up being more of a flex type guy than a guy you feel good about starting every week.”

  2. Rachaad White to fall short of his draft cost (the east Yar at one sixteen)

    “Pat you've got him lower at one twenty seven... I just don't think Rashad White is a good enough runner to really become the lead guy... I just don't see much of a ceiling.”

  3. RJ Harvey to fall short of his draft cost (ECR eighty three)

    “Pat, You're way further down at one thirty three... Like ECR and Ericson's ranking put RJ. Harvey in the seventh round. No thank you, no thank you to that price.”

  4. Rashee Rice to fall short of his draft cost (ECR twenty seven overall)

    “There's no discount this year at ECR twenty seven overall... I do think there are better options on the board around that round two, round three turn, and they're certainly safer options on the board at that point.”

Depth Chart Calls2 waitingShow ▸
  1. J.K. Dobbins to be 1st on the depth chart

Positional Finishes1 waitingShow ▸
  1. Chase Brown to finish top 12 at his position, by fantasy points
