# Jake Ciely: On the FantasyPros waiver wire show, Sealy said Romeo Dobbs is locked in as Green Bay's No. 2 receiver with Jayden Reed out and is a worthwhile free add, that Troy Franklin has passed Marvin Mims to become Denver's No. 2 receiver behind Sutton and deserves a big waiver bid, that Blake Corum is clearly the Rams' backup to Kyren Williams (a top-five handcuff), and that Cedric Tillman and Ayomanor should both be picked up, along with a cheap flyer on Chris Rodriguez.

4 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

All 4 have settled, averaging 95.8 out of 100, against 89.6 for a naive guess at the same calls.

> He is clearly, by far way ahead of Mims. He is the one and the two with Sutton.
