# Mike Moraitis: Moraitis expects D'Andre Swift's workload to spike while Kyle Monangai is out, with a floor of 20 touches a game that could push him into RB1 range temporarily; he also expects Roschon Johnson to be the RB3 and primary beneficiary behind Swift, with both Johnson and Salvon Ahmed making Chicago's roster.

3 checkable claims — 2 roster spot calls and 1 depth chart 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.

1 of 3 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

> It's fair to believe that Swift's floor for touches will be 20 per game in that scenario, which could propel him into RB1 territory.

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.
