PFF's fantasy recap of a 49ers-Rams game makes several forward-looking usage calls: Kaelon Black is established as San Francisco's RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey and the top waiver target of Week 2, Mike Evans and the receiver rotation are described, Terrance Ferguson is positioned as the Rams' third-down/emerging tight end, and Kyren Williams remains the preferred fantasy back over Blake Corum.

2Christian McCaffrey to be 1st on the depth chart“McCaffrey remained the preferred option on third downs, in short-yardage situations and near the goal line ... McCaffrey remains a must-start fantasy option”

4Kyren Williams to be 1st on the depth chart“Williams remains the better fantasy option because of his receiving ability, even if Corum is slightly more effective as a runner.”

How each call scored

5 checkable claims — 5 depth chart calls — 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 4 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.

Parker Hurley · Roster Spot Calls · Khalid Kareem · Miss 0
Hurley predicts the 49ers will release Khalil Kareem when Nate Hobbs is activated and cut Brandin Cooks when C.J. West returns, while arguing Sebastian Valdez won't be the one let go and no cornerback will be cut.
Colin Cowherd · Trade and Signing Calls · Matthew Stafford · Hit 100
Cowherd predicts Matt Stafford stays with the Rams rather than moving on, and says Travis Hunter may underachieve because they're being asked to play both ways — Cowherd doubts they're a No. 1 receiver and would slot them as a No. 2 receiver while being a No. 1 corner.
Colin Cowherd · Trade and Signing Calls · Matthew Stafford · Hit 100
Cowherd believes Matt Stafford's public negotiation posturing means he ultimately stays in Los Angeles, and he flags Travis Hunter as a high draft pick who could underachieve because trying to play both cornerback and receiver full-time will hurt him.

Previewing Week 9 running game matchups, Bodiford expects Jacksonville to win lopsidedly over a depleted Baltimore team, with Bhayshul Tuten sitting out and Chris Rodriguez taking over as lead back, while Joe Fagnano starts at quarterback for the Ravens.
