Raymond Summerlin· Nov 3, 2026
In his Week 9 waiver wire column, Summerlin predicts Commanders rookie Antonio Williams becomes the team's most-used receiver going forward, expects the Colts to move on from Jonathan Taylor while Saquon Barkley stays in Philadelphia, sees Jonathon Brooks as only a complementary back behind Chuba Hubbard, and makes several player availability calls.
“That opens the door for the exciting rookie to be the most-used receiver the rest of the way.”
