# Mike Fanelli: In a Week 2 Discord AMA, Fanelli named buy-low targets (Omarion Hampton, Drake London, Colston Loveland) and sell-high candidates (Chuba Hubbard, Christian Watson, Jalen Coker, Dallas Goedert), predicted Shedeur Sanders would take over as the Browns' starting quarterback, and made several depth-chart calls including Dalton Schultz as Houston's No. 2 passing-game option.

11 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls, 4 fantasy bust calls and 3 sleeper calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 17 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

> My top buy-low targets are Omarion Hampton, Drake London and Colston Loveland.
