Andrew Erickson#30 of 87 NFL pundits · Sep 29, 2026

In their Week 4 buy/sell column, Erickson makes a handful of forward-looking calls: Chase Brown remains Cincinnati's lead back, Keenan Allen is no better than the Colts' third pass-catcher, Mack Hollins is New England's No. 1 target, Jeremiyah Love owns Arizona's backfield, George Kittle is again a top-five fantasy tight end, and Brock Purdy belongs in the MVP conversation. They also make several availability calls for Week 4 and on Jayden Daniels' return.

How each call scored

11 checkable claims — 5 availability calls, 4 depth chart calls, 1 award pick and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 19 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

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

Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 2.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

Depth Chart Calls4 waitingShow ▸
  1. Jeremiyah Love to be 1st on the depth chart

    “he had zero second-half touches of any kind, even while still on the field for over a third of Arizona's snaps — Jeremiyah Love's backfield now, clearly.”

  2. Chase Brown to be 1st on the depth chart
