Mike FanelliAug 25, 2026

Fanelli names 13 wide receivers they target in a Zero-WR draft strategy, arguing each will outperform their ADP, with specific finishes projected for several (Odunze and Harrison as top-12 receivers, Pierce as a top-20 finisher, Robinson leading the Titans in targets and receptions, Lane leading Baltimore in receiving touchdowns).

What Mike Fanelli said

Fantasy players shouldn't be shocked if Harrison is this year's Chris Olave, a mid-round WR3 that finishes as a top-12 wide receiver.

How each call scored

22 checkable claims — 13 sleeper calls, 6 positional finishes, 2 depth chart calls and 1 player season number — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 25 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 8 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 2 and below it on 6.

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.
