What Andrew Erickson said
I'm going right back to the well here with Jalen Waddle. I still think that he can be a top thirty six receiver.

How the call scored
a naive guessbetter than naiveOne checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
The call scored 85.7 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.
The call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
“you got him three, you got him really high this week... Erickson has got him at eleven... Fifteen. You are not like out necessarily on Garrett Wilson... Ericson, you are right on consensus (Agbuka at twenty)... Ericson, you are the highest wide receiver twenty one... you've got him at wide receiver twenty six... Ericson, you've got him at thirty three”

Mike Harmon · Fantasy Rankings · Hit 80
Harmon gave his Week 18 fantasy rankings — top five quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers — plus lists of 'hot plays,' 'cold sores' (players to avoid) and 'ninjas' (sneaky plays), and said Trevor Lawrence would land around a top-four fantasy quarterback finish for the season.Marcas Grant · Fantasy Rankings · Miss 25
Grant says De'Von Achane deserves to be a top-three pick in fantasy drafts next season, keeps Breece Hall as the Jets' clear RB1 over Isaiah Davis, and lists their five league winners for the fantasy semifinals with Saquon Barkley on top. They also pick Josh Allen as the week's top quarterback and Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the top wide receiver.Jake Ciely · Fantasy Rankings · Close 63
Sealey gave their early 2026 quarterback ranks — Allen, Lamar, May and Daniels as their top four, Joe Burrow sixth, Daniel Jones 17th, Justin Herbert 10th, C.J. Stroud 25th and Sam Darnold 26th — plus tight ends with Isaiah Likely 13th and Dalton Kincaid down at 16.Jake Ciely · Fantasy Rankings · Hit 93
Seely gives his own early 2026 running back board — Bijan and Gibbs on top, McCaffrey third (seventh overall), Kyren Williams tenth, Jeanty 11th and Chase Brown 12th — while ranking Skattebo, Dowdle, Pollard, Hubbard and Tucker below consensus. He also insists Kyren Williams remains a top-ten back, expects Skattebo to lead the Giants backfield and expects Rico Dowdle to leave Carolina.Joe Pisapia · Fantasy Rankings · Close 71
Joe Pisapia's 2026 first round is receiver-heavy, starting with Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ja'Marr Chase, insisting Amon-Ra St. Brown belongs in the top five, keeping Justin Jefferson in round one, and dropping Christian McCaffrey to 12. They also see Omarion Hampton as a value who will be a top-10 pick a year later.
