# Raymond Summerlin: In a Week 2 fantasy waiver-wire column, Summerlin ranks the top pickups at each position, projects several players' roles on their teams' depth charts (Kaelon Black as a handcuff behind McCaffrey, Adonai Mitchell as the Jets' clear No. 2, Tre Harris as the Chargers' No. 2 if McConkey sits, Tre Tucker as Las Vegas' No. 1), and predicts Michael Penix and Shedeur Sanders will eventually take over as starters.

14 checkable claims — 10 depth chart calls and 4 fantasy rankings — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 18 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

Of the 9 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.

> Douglas is the receiver add this week with the best chance to be the long-term No. 1 option in his passing game.

Moore will boost Buffalo's offense. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/171507fa-f1c7-4308-957f-f9114e41996a (scored 100)
