Zack Kelberman on Sean Fresch Jr.: Kelberman writes that Riley Moss may sit out the preseason finale against Minnesota but should be available for the Week 1 opener at Kansas City; they also suggest undrafted corners Sean Fresch Jr. and Brent Austin are being evaluated for practice squad spots. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3c8c47b8-6041-4282-8d21-d21741d8f11b (scored 0) - Chris Clark on Nikko Remigio: Clark expects the Chiefs to bring back exclusive-rights receiver Nico (Remigio) and long snapper James Winchester, to re-sign JuJu Smith-Schuster as a cheap veteran fifth receiver, and not to bring back Hollywood Brown, Josh Dobbs-type depth, Gardner Minshew, Janarius Robinson or Mike Caliendo; they also say the Chiefs will not use a franchise tag and believes Bryan Cook won't return. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/99521265-d5c0-4db1-b2a0-fe77908ea0b3 (scored 0) - Nate Gosney on Daiyan Henley: After the Broncos rescinded the trade, Gosney expects Daiyan Henley to remain with the Chargers for the rest of the 2026 season, but believes the awkward fallout has effectively killed any chance of them signing a new contract with Los Angeles after the season. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60272861-4ad0-4749-b36a-dcdf09b9213f (scored 0) -

They also had Commanders and Eagles both 11-6 with Washington winning the NFC East. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c48e72df-628e-4f24-804f-5ce5f7a8e0e6 (scored 10.51) - Colin Cowherd on Los Angeles Rams: Cowherd ranked the ten best players in the AFC Championship game between the Patriots and Broncos, with Patrick Surtain first, and argued New England's quarterback edge (Drake Maye over Jarrett Stidham) will decide the game. They also said they'd bet the Rams plus points against Seattle and predicted the Rams will pick near the bottom of the first round for the next decade. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/456ae4e1-1e7b-46a8-951e-a7265e72f394 (scored 100) - Nick Wright on Indianapolis Colts: Nick Wright lays out their season win-total picks (overs on Jaguars, Bears, Chiefs, Buccaneers, Raiders, Falcons; unders on Bengals, Colts, Broncos, Cowboys, Vikings, 49ers), playoff berth and miss calls, three division winners, a Chiefs-over-Buccaneers Super Bowl exacta, and five Week 1 picks. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5049c576-4d69-4d73-a0ba-6296e5e50ff2 (scored 10.51) - Tyler Rowland on Indianapolis Colts: Roland lays out an 'ideal, not likely' Titans scenario built on landing the No. 1 pick and trading back with the Jets for Jeremiah Smith, while predicting Drew Mestemacher will be the first quarterback off the board and projecting where the Jets' three first-round picks will land. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0182399b-9834-4cf0-9e84-7158e3e0be40 (not settled) - Noah Compton on Indianapolis Colts: Compton projects the Colts' own first-round pick (already traded to New York) to land in the top five of the draft, expects rookie guard Jalen Farmer to immediately replace Quenton Nelson in the starting lineup, anticipates a big extension for Adetomiwa Adebawore, and believes Indianapolis will make Daniel Jones a post-June 1 cut. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/170da368-ee75-4fbe-8e36-22085cef8597 (not settled) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
