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.

But is he gonna be a top twelve starter, fifteen starter half of the league for sure of this year? Yes?
Like I'm sorry, Patrick Mahomes is one. Like I don't even know how you argue
I'd be stunned if he got seventy seven balls last year, if he didn't catch eighty plus balls this season.
I think he's a top twelve quarterback who is really really underachieved in January
so here were the rankings... Mahomes One, Josh Allen To Joe burrow Three Lamar jackson Four... Jayde daniels was Five... stafford is Sixth then you Have Justin Herbert, then you Have Jared goff, then you Have jalen hurts and then you Have Baker Mayfield... number Ten... they Said Jordan love and C. J stroud were honorable mention
CBS Fantasy Football dropped their wide receivers tier rankings a Tier one Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, C. D. Lamb, Tier two, poking the cool elite neighbors Nico Collins and Rock Saint Brown. Tiers three. You had Brian Thomas, junr Aj Brown, Drake London, Tier four, T Higgins, Lad McConkie, Tyreek Hill. Rashid writes Davonte Adams.
we know Shador Sanders is going to be the one to step in the helm and run the show once things don't work out with Joe Flacco... then it's gonna be the Shadoor Sanders Show.
You know, Joe Flaco starting unless he gets injured in training camp or something like that... Now the job is Joe Flacco's to lose.
Jerry Judy going for eighteen hundred this year... Okay, okay, fifteen hundred, fifteen hundred, Jerry going for fifteen hundred
They're building this whole thing around Caleb Williams. They're saying, Caleb, it is your job.
Jags missed the playoffs. Three new teams just a the division winners.
To me, I think Daniel Jones in Indianapolis Colts have the best chance to be that guy... it'll be a competition
I think Brian Flora is gonna be probably coach of the year on the like a defensive coordinator coach of the year type guy.
Falcons missed the playoffs... Three new teams just a the division winners.
they're my pick to win the Super Bowl
I think the Patriots make a huge jump. They were terrible last year. They're going to be potentially a playoff team this year
So I've got Niners missed the playoffs. Falcons missed the playoffs, Jags missed the playoffs. Three new teams just a the division winners.
just ignore the fact that he's still the clear number two behind James Connor, who has an injury history
He's actually like in my top ten for wide receivers for fantasy
I honestly think there's a good chance. That they might repeat.
he is the expert Consensus RB six he's going in the second round. But with John new Smith gone, I think there's massive upside for a Chan in the passing game.
so I think Drake May is going to give us a QB one fantasy finish this year
We ran our projections at Fantasy Points immediately after the trade and he came out as tight end thirty three.
When I plugged him into the rankings this morning, I think it was a tight end forty.
it's like a ten year run of either Travis Kelcey or Tyreek Hill leading the Chiefs and targets. I think that changes this year. I think Rashee Rice gets it done.
