# Andrew Erickson — prediction record Andrew Erickson is a fantasy football analyst at FantasyPros, where the work appears in both written columns and the FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast. The coverage runs through the NFL season with weekly rankings, waiver-wire advice and start/sit calls, touching players across the league: Chase Brown, A.J. Brown, Zay Flowers, Drake London, Kenneth Walker III and others. Erickson also covers sleepers, busts and positional finishes, plus offseason topics like draft position and player movement. ## Is Andrew Erickson accurate? Across 102 graded calls in 17 articles, Andrew Erickson scores 68.35% accuracy and a MissedTakes Score of 28.7, which means their calls were better than a naive guess on the same claims. That is a limited sample, under thirty graded articles, so treat it with caution. That ranks #30 of 87 ranked NFL pundits on the MissedTakes leaderboard. ## Record - **Accuracy:** 68.35% - **MissedTakes Score:** 28.7 - **Graded articles:** 17 - **Graded individual calls:** 102 - **Clarity:** 97.81% - **Hedged:** 42.94% of claims - **Right when hedging:** 73.4% (22 graded) - **Right when committing:** 60.87% (80 graded) LIMITED SAMPLE: between 10 and 29 graded articles. Treat with caution. The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
