# Andrew Erickson: 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. **Claimed:** Nov 11, 2026 **Pundit:** Andrew Erickson — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/andrew-erickson **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/11/beyond-the-waiver-wire-fantasy-football-moves-to-make-week-10-advice/ 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. > Elite playoff schedule, so he should be a fantasy TE1 the rest of the way. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jonah Coleman to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jonah Coleman, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tank Dell to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Tank Dell, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - “Sam Darnold will not play in Week 10.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Sam Darnold, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jonathan Taylor to finish RB1 (1–12) at his position, by fantasy points** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chase Brown to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kyle McCord to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Kyle McCord, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Laquon Treadwell to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Laquon Treadwell, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: not settled yet - **Seth McGowan to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Seth McGowan, Indianapolis Colts - Verdict: not settled yet - **Fernando Mendoza to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Fernando Mendoza, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Elijah Higgins to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Elijah Higgins, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Israel Abanikanda to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Israel Abanikanda, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - “I wouldn't bank on Lloyd or Jacobs to be ready for Week 10.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: MarShawn Lloyd, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Khalil Herbert to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Khalil Herbert, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - “Bam Knight should return in Week 10 after missing Week 9 with his concussion” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Bam Knight, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - “Andy Reid called Patrick Mahomes 'day-to-day' on Monday, so he should be okay for Week 10.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - “I wouldn't bank on Lloyd or Jacobs to be ready for Week 10.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Josh Jacobs, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Caleb Douglas to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Caleb Douglas, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Carson Beck to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Carson Beck, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Zay Flowers to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - “Garrett Wilson was out with a concussion but should return in Week 10.” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Garrett Wilson, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brevyn Spann-Ford to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Brevyn Spann-Ford, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **T.J.
