# Alain Poupart: Poupart says right tackle Austin Jackson's contract situation makes it no better than a coin flip — and probably worse — that he is back with the Dolphins next season, and suggests Miami may turn to a younger option at right tackle if his struggles continue. He also indicates edge rusher Chop Robinson will return to the lineup against Kansas City in Week 3.

2 checkable claims — 1 availability call and 1 trade and signing call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

> Jackson is a veteran starter with a contract situation that makes it at best 50-50 that he'll back next season — and that's probably a generous estimate

## What others said about the same people

- Tyler DeSena on Kevin Coleman: DeSena expects Chris Bell to function as Miami's X-receiver, with Caleb Douglas as the deep-threat Z and Malik Washington in the slot, and considers Bell, Douglas, Washington and fifth-round rookie Kevin Coleman locks to make the 53-man roster. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cdf88974-3b99-4342-b7eb-bcf15f82379c (scored 100)

- Nick Shook on Olaivavega Ioane: Shook walks through his full first-round mock draft, assigning a prospect to every pick from No. 1 to No. 32, headlined by Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders, David Bailey to the Jets and Jeremiah Love to the Cardinals in the top three. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/7d4209aa-2e2d-47a2-b6e5-791d16d209cb (scored 35.36)

- Nick Wright on Miami Dolphins: Nick Wright gave his early AFC win-total leans: overs on the Jets, Ravens, Jaguars, Chiefs and Raiders, plus projected win ranges for the Dolphins, Texans, Chargers and Broncos, and predicted the Raiders take Ashton Jeanty at No. 6. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/cc9d1905-c3e9-4d7f-8dbb-0f840dbb7535 (scored 80)
- Rich Hribar on Malik Willis: Hribar previews the Week 1 Dolphins-Raiders game, calling Malik Willis a strong floor-based QB2 for fantasy, noting Kirk Cousins is the Raiders' starter and not a Week 1 streamer in 1QB leagues, and listing expected defensive starters for both teams. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/0ff48079-418b-4d5a-9eb2-6e66b0e6f6e1 (scored 100)

## More availability calls

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.

- John Green on Ladd McConkey: Previewing Bills-Chargers in Week 3, Green expects Chargers slot receiver Ladd McConkey to be available despite a rib injury. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/62b84df7-a936-427d-9218-0da62b9a8828 (not settled)
- Brendon Nelson on Sam Darnold: Nelson expects Sam Darnold to return and play the entire game against Washington in Week 3, rather than being limited or rested, unless it becomes a blowout. He also doubts Seattle trades Drew Lock, arguing the big offer won't materialize and Seattle should keep him as quarterback insurance. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c3e9fb37-4de8-495c-b906-4c1af4ad0307 (not settled)
- Trevor Ripley on Kyler Murray: Ripley expects Kyler Murray to return to the starting lineup for the Vikings in Week 3 against the Buccaneers, predicting a more robust passing attack with a heavy volume of throws but a rusty performance that should keep expectations tempered. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/9d4d0e31-2d2c-4eed-8fb5-7d291824301f (not settled)
- Pat Fitzmaurice on Zay Flowers: A Week 3 half-PPR start/sit and tiered rankings column offering weekly lineup advice across quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end. The only non-weekly claim is that Ravens receiver Zay Flowers will be held out another week with a hamstring injury. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/c50e7bbc-663a-457e-b1a4-7b7b7d049c85 (not settled)
- Michael Moore on Nico Collins: In a Week 3 injury roundup, Moore forecast several availability calls: DJ Moore, Caleb Douglas, Rico Dowdle, Nico Collins, Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua are expected to miss Week 3, while Jalen Coker and Brock Bowers should play, with Jaylen Warren taking on a near-workhorse role in Pittsburgh. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/9a61f255-10c5-478a-a786-41d01e4b8a4d (not settled)
- John Middlekauff on Sam Darnold: Reacting to the Packers' blowout loss at Lambeau, Middlekauff said Green Bay's own pick (now owned by the Jets) will land somewhere between 7 and 12 overall, picked Cincinnati to beat Pittsburgh and expected Seattle and Kansas City to roll over Washington and Miami. He also guessed Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss would run about a 4.48-4.50 forty, said Seattle won't trade Drew Lock, and expected Sam Darnold to play in Week 3. — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/opinions/41d65ece-ef1e-4b78-97cc-019c25b1fb2a (not settled)

Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
