# Andrew Erickson: 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. **Claimed:** Sep 29, 2026 **Pundit:** Andrew Erickson — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/andrew-erickson **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/09/beyond-the-waiver-wire-fantasy-football-moves-to-make-week-4-2/ 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. > Brock Purdy for MVP?
