I did an an image search on "Yageo FMP100". Looking at the photos, I could confuse them with 1/4W resistors.Have you tested them at, say, 3/4W: to see how hot they get – or for how long?
Could you self-heat one for a while and then check the resistance change?
I shifted from digikey to LCSCDigikey asks too much questions about the parts you're buying.You have to fill in a lot of forms, like you're buying a firearm.I would accept that if these were some specific components, which can be used in military or questionable areas.But recently I needed current sense resistors and switching power supply (LOF750). They cancelled my order because information I provided "was not enough"So I gave up and ordered them elsewhere.

AliExpress takes a week or 3..may or may not be good parts (see https://youtu.be/pMjhJ9kcaU4 @13:45 )Ordered parts from DigiKey last week (late night order) , ..needed 1W resistors (tube amp repair) they sent 1/4 Watt - from Winnipeg.I've found with Digikey, ..if one orders earlier in the day, it gets picked & shipped form Thief River Falls, USA. Never a problem.If you order later (from Canada) & it gets picked by, umm, from Winnipeg by, well, umm.... just don't expect to get your correct order.Happened several times, just sayin'..
