Rich Hribar#24 of 87 NFL pundits · Sep 9, 2026
In their Week 1 Cowboys-Giants worksheet, Hribar sets fantasy roles for the key players: Prescott as a QB1, Dart as an upside QB2, Javonte Williams as a trusted back, Skattebo as an RB2, Lamb as a WR1, Pickens as a WR2, Nabers as a volatile WR2/WR3, and depth-chart placements for the Giants' and Cowboys' receivers and tight ends. They also predict the Dallas defense will be much improved in 2026.

How each call scored
5 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls and 1 roster spot call — 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.
