Andrew Erickson· Oct 20, 2026
In his Week 7 waiver-wire column, Erickson forecasts several starting-job outcomes: Tanner McKee holding Philadelphia's QB job for the rest of the season, J.J. McCarthy taking over for the Giants, and Kendre Miller, Rachaad White, Josh Jacobs and Zach Charbonnet leading their respective backfields. He also expects Tank Dell and Charbonnet back on the field in Week 7.
“View White as the Washington's RB1 moving forward.”
