1Blake Corum to be 2nd on the depth chart“Corum’s performance would suggest that he deserves more playing time, but it’s hard to see the Rams moving away from the current rotation.”
2Kyren Williams to be 1st on the depth chart“Despite Corum having more success on the ground, Williams isn’t disappearing. He played 69 percent of the offensive snaps and remains the player the Rams prefer in the passing game. The running back rotation likely isn’t going to change.”

How each call scored

2 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 3 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.
