WaltAug 24, 2026

In a running training camp stock report, Walt makes a series of fantasy-relevant calls: injury-driven downgrades (Jeanty, Egbuka, Hall, Monangai, Tyson, Love, McCaffrey, Kittle, Pierce, Pearsall), sleeper/breakout calls (Jadarian Price, Ja'Kobi Lane, Bryce Lance, Kaelon Black, Denzel Boston, Stribling, Jayden Reed, A.J. Brown, Luther Burden, Judkins), busts/fades (Keenan Allen, Mark Andrews, Marvin Harrison Jr., Chris Olave, Josh Jacobs, Puka Nacua), and several depth-chart claims.

What Walt said

They value Price too much, which means that he must shoot up the rankings.

How each call scored

19 checkable claims — 7 depth chart calls, 7 fantasy bust calls, 3 sleeper calls and 2 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 30 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

Of the 7 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 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.
