Zach Roberts· Aug 13, 2026

Roberts projects the Carolina Panthers' 53-man roster following the Hall of Fame Game, naming every player he expects to make the team at each position, and pegs AJ Dillon as the fourth running back on the depth chart.

“As good as AJ Dillon was in the Hall of Fame Game, he's RB4 as of now since Trevor Etienne plays special teams, and that matters a lot with limited roster spots.”

published in writing · Sports Illustrated · read the original →

54 checkable claims — 53 roster spot calls and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.

It names 55 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

45 of 54 have settled so far, averaging 95.6 out of 100, against 80 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Each one is scored on its own against the published methodology. A pundit naming several outcomes is graded on each, not on all-or-nothing.
