# Raymond Summerlin: 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. **Claimed:** Nov 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Raymond Summerlin — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/raymond-summerlin **Outlet:** Sharp Football Analysis — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sharp-football-analysis **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/fantasy/nfl-waiver-wire-pickups-week-9-2026/ 9 checkable claims — 5 availability calls, 2 depth chart calls and 2 trade and signing calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 15 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1. > That opens the door for the exciting rookie to be the most-used receiver the rest of the way. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Saquon Barkley to stay with Philadelphia Eagles** - Kind: Trade and Signing Calls · About: Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Antonio Williams to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Antonio Williams, Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **I assume TreVeyon Henderson will be back this week, but the situation is murky.** - Kind: Availability Calls · About: TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **James Cook appears to be good to go after a nasty fall against the Ravens.
