# Pat Fitzmaurice: Fitzmorris gave his own Week 17 ranks: Trevor Lawrence QB10 with Lamar Jackson just ahead, Caleb Williams outside startable range, Tyler Shuck QB11 (and a clear preference over Justin Herbert), Dallas Goedert TE10, Hunter Henry TE13 and Taysom Hill TE15. **Claimed:** Dec 26, 2025 **Pundit:** Pat Fitzmaurice — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/pat-fitzmaurice **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast/week-17-fantasy-football-quarterback-tight-end-rankings-tiers-studs-sleepers-and-must-starts-ep-1918 7 checkable claims — 7 positional finishes — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 9 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 7 have settled, averaging 20.2 out of 100, against 2.4 for a naive guess at the same calls. > Shuck, on the other hand, has scored seventeen or more fantasy points in four straight games and is QB nine in fantasy scoring over that four week stretch. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Tyler Shough to finish top 11 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Tyler Shough - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Dallas Goedert to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: scored 33.33 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Hunter Henry to finish top 13 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Hunter Henry - Verdict: scored 25 out of 100, against 8.33 for a naive guess - **Taysom Hill to finish top 15 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Trevor Lawrence to finish top 10 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Trevor Lawrence - Verdict: scored 50 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Lamar Jackson to finish top 9 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Lamar Jackson - Verdict: scored 8.33 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - **Caleb Williams to finish top 14 at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Caleb Williams - Verdict: scored 25 out of 100, against 8.33 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Tyler Shough — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/tyler-shough - Dallas Goedert — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dallas-goedert - Philadelphia Eagles — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/eagles - Hunter Henry — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/hunter-henry - Taysom Hill — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/taysom-hill - New Orleans Saints — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/saints - Trevor Lawrence — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/trevor-lawrence - Lamar Jackson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/lamar-jackson - Caleb Williams — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/caleb-williams ## What others said about the same people - Chris Simms on New Orleans Saints: Simms went through the entire Week 3 slate with straight-up winners and predicted final scores, taking Jacksonville, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle, the Giants, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minnesota, San Francisco, Denver and Philadelphia.
