The middle ground
The same graded calls, zoomed to the bands between the spikes — every take that earned partial credit.
Takes in each band
1,344 graded takes land strictly between the extremes, and the shape has a story: the counts climb as the scores improve. A take that earns partial credit is far more likely to be nearly right than nearly wrong.
This is where the curve-graded kinds live — mock draft picks (914), season win totals (151) and positional finishes (130) — the kinds where missing by a little costs a little, not everything.

2076–2100 of 3,881
Genty has the receiving upside and the volume upside to be a top three back in his rookie season.
When you can get a guy that was an RB one last year in the fourth round at RB two price tags, you do it all day
London could be the wide receiver one overall this year.
because Rashid Rice is the number one, the clear number one in this offense and it's not Worthy
C J. Stroud made the playoffs. My guess is c J. Stroud will make the playoffs again this year.
if I had made these two changes, I do only have two new playoff teams New England and ... Seattle in the NFC
I'd probably move the Bears out and the Packers in again, noise out like the Bengals, reliable Sean Payton, Green Bay Packers in
it seems like maybe I overreacted this summer on the Vikings and they profiled more like a nine ish win team, yes, as opposed to eleven.
If I moved Cincinnati out because I've predicted they'll make the playoffs, I would put the Broncos in.
I do only have two new playoff teams New England and the AFC and Seattle in the NFC
NFC East Eagles, Commanders, Commanders Class of the NFC East ... Giants, Cowboys
Trey McBride leads tight ends in touchdowns this season. In twenty twenty five
My first hot take is that Cam Scataboo leads the New York Giants in touches this season... I think he's already the better lead back.
So I'm going with Drake London finishes as the wide receiver one overall, that is my mile take.
So I think Jordan Mason, at worst, I think he's still gonna be able to get in that double digit touchdown territory
Ricky Piersaw leads the forty nine ers in receiving yards.
Jordan Mason, new running back for the Minnesota skull Vikings. I think he's gonna lead the NFL in Russian touchdowns this year.
Matthew Golden... finishes as a low end wide receiver two in fantasy... That's a wide receiver low end wide receiver twenty four here.
Tucker Craft's going to finish as a top four Fantasy tight end in twenty twenty five
It's gonna be Elijah Moore. Elijah Moore is going to finish twenty twenty five as a Fantasy wide receiver one.
Anthony Richardson finishes QB six. We don't even know if he's gonna start right now.
Drake May is going to finish as a top five Fantasy quarterack in twenty twenty five.
He was number one in contested catches the last five years. He's going to give you a thousand yards.
I think the Bears have an opportunity to win ten or eleven games. I don't think it's as good a division as people think.
the Lions. Now, I think have established themselves. What happens in the playoffs, who knows, but they're going to be a double digit win team.
