More availability calls

- Andrew EricksonAvailability Calls · Colbie YoungPendingIn his 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. He also makes several availability calls for Week 4 and on Jayden Daniels' return.

- Ian RapoportAvailability Calls · J.J. McCarthyPendingOn the JJ McCarthy trade he expects Jameis Winston to keep starting for the Giants while McCarthy learns, with McCarthy ready to go around midseason weeks six through eight; he also expects Tyson Bagent to start for the Bears next week with Caleb Williams out.
