How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
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.

Who this take is about
Others on the same people
Tom Strachan · Sleeper Calls · Jaylen Warren · Hit 100
Strachan's favorite pick per round: Ja'Marr Chase at 1.01, Brock Bowers in round two, Jayden Daniels in round three, Davante Adams (double-digit TDs) in round four, then Xavier Worthy, Calvin Ridley, Jaylen Warren, Emeka Egbuka, Justin Fields, Zach Charbonnet and late-round fliers; their one player to leave every draft with is Tucker Kraft.Nathan Jahnke · Depth Chart Calls · Jaylen Warren · Waiting
Jahnke expects Jaylen Warren to remain the Steelers' lead back ahead of Rico Dowdle even once Dowdle is fully healthy, with the snap split staying roughly the same. They also note Jordyn Tyson could return for New Orleans in Week 9, further squeezing the tight ends and the fourth receiver.Jacob Punturi · Player Season Numbers · Jaylen Warren · Waiting
Punturi predicts the Steelers will beat the Saints in their Week 7 game in Paris for their fifth win of the season, with Jaylen Warren rebounding to a 100-yard rushing game against a weak New Orleans run defense and Nick Herbig producing another disruptive outing.Pat Fitzmaurice · Depth Chart Calls · Jaylen Warren · Waiting
In a Week 6 "most intriguing players" column, Fitzmaurice expects Caleb Williams back from their hamstring injury for Chicago's game against Atlanta, treats Jaylen Warren as Pittsburgh's established lead back even with Rico Dowdle returning, and says Blake Corum won't pass Kyren Williams atop the Rams' backfield anytime soon.Andrew Erickson · Depth Chart Calls · Jaylen Warren · Waiting
In their Week 6 waiver-wire column, Erickson argued Jameis Winston's hold on the Giants' starting quarterback job is secure, that Jaylen Warren will remain Pittsburgh's lead back even with Rico Dowdle back, and that Tony Pollard could be traded before the deadline.
More positional finishes
The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
Nick Wright · Positional Finishes · Puka Nacua · Close 75
Nick Wright picked the Ravens to beat Houston this weekend even with Lamar Jackson possibly out (leaning on Derrick Henry and Cooper Rush), the Chiefs to win in Jacksonville, and the Rams to beat the 49ers on Thursday night. They also laid out an AFC playoff field of Bills, Steelers, Chiefs, Chargers and Colts, projected the Chiefs' receiver pecking order once Rashee Rice returns, and called Justin Jefferson the best receiver in football with Puka Nacua a top-five receiver.Rich Hribar · Positional Finishes · Matthew Stafford · Hit 100
Hribar published their 2023 fantasy football quarterback tiers, ordering 41 quarterbacks into eight tiers that reflect how they prioritize drafting the position, with Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes in the top tier as the trio most likely to finish as the overall QB1.Chris Brockman · Positional Finishes · Jaxon Smith-Njigba · Hit 100
Brockman argued Jaxon Smith-Njigba is already the best receiver in the NFL and deserves to be the highest paid, called their shot that three quarterbacks (Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Carson Beck) go in the first round with Mendoza first overall, and suggested New England is headed for a 7-10 season.Ryan Tracy · Positional Finishes · Bryan Cook · Miss 0
Tracy argues the Chiefs should address edge rusher and defensive tackle via the draft and use free agency on running back and wide receiver; they name Brian Robinson as their target, expects Kenneth Walker III to re-sign with Seattle, thinks Nick Bolton-style veterans like Jerry Tillery, Derek Nnadi and Mike Pennel shouldn't return, believes Bryan Cook is a top-10 safety the Chiefs can't afford, and predicts a quarterback (Trinidad Chambliss) will rocket up boards so more than one QB goes in the top 10.Pat Gustavson · Positional Finishes · Bijan Robinson · Close 75
Gustafson picks the Patriots, Bills, Seahawks and Bears in the divisional round with a Seahawks-Patriots Super Bowl, predicts Mike Tomlin and Matt LaFleur stay, Aaron Rodgers returns to Pittsburgh, and lays out their own coaching landing spots.
