# Tom Strachan — prediction record

Tom Strachan writes fantasy football content for FantasyPros and co-hosts the FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast. The work covers sleepers, busts, start/sit advice and draft strategy, with predictions touching players such as Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb and Ashton Jeanty across teams including the Raiders, Eagles and Cowboys.

## Is Tom Strachan accurate?

Across 21 graded calls in 4 articles, Tom Strachan scores 70.26% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 43.38, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a provisional record, fewer than ten graded articles, so the numbers are not yet meaningful and they are not ranked on the leaderboard.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 70.26%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 43.38
- **Graded articles:** 4
- **Graded individual calls:** 21
- **Clarity:** 100%
- **Hedged:** 46.74% of claims
- **Right when hedging:** not enough data
- **Right when committing:** not enough data

PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards.

The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
