Andrew Erickson#30 of 87 NFL pundits · Nov 11, 2026
In their Week 10 waiver/trade column, Erickson projects a number of rest-of-season roles — Jonah Coleman keeping Denver's lead back job, Zay Flowers as Baltimore's clear No. 1 target with Jacoby Brissett, Carson Beck and Fernando Mendoza taking over as starting quarterbacks — and forecasts Jonathan Taylor settling in as a low-end fantasy RB1 while T.J. Hockenson remains a fantasy TE1 the rest of the way. They also call several injury returns for Week 10.

How each call scored
22 checkable claims — 14 depth chart calls, 6 availability calls and 2 positional finishes — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 37 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 12 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one.
Each 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 calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
