# Andrew Erickson: In his Week 2 'Beyond the Waiver Wire' column, Erickson makes a long series of buy/sell/add calls on individual players (sleepers vs. busts), plus a few specific role, availability and outlook predictions — notably that Jahmyr Gibbs scores again Thursday night, that Drew Lock remains Seattle's starter, and that Kenneth Walker III leads the NFL in rushing yards. **Claimed:** Sep 16, 2026 **Pundit:** Andrew Erickson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/andrew-erickson **Outlet:** FantasyPros — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/fantasypros **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.fantasypros.com/2026/09/beyond-the-waiver-wire-fantasy-football-moves-to-make-week-2-2026/ 109 checkable claims — 54 sleeper calls, 23 depth chart calls, 23 fantasy bust calls, 3 positional finishes, 2 availability calls, 2 fantasy defense calls, 1 player season number and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 130 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 25 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > Nobody should be panicked about the No. 3 consensus pick in 2026 fantasy football drafts. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Michael Mayer to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Michael Mayer, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tre Harris to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Tre Harris, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jameson Williams to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Amon-Ra St. Brown to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jameson Williams to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Nico Collins to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Nico Collins, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Matthew Golden to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tucker Kraft to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Tucker Kraft, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Devaughn Vele to be 2nd on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Devaughn Vele, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Elijah Sarratt to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Elijah Sarratt, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Mark Andrews to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Pat Freiermuth to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **DK Metcalf to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: DK Metcalf, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chuba Hubbard to fall short of his draft cost** - Kind: Fantasy Bust Calls · About: Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jonathon Brooks to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jonathon Brooks, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tetairoa McMillan to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Drake London to outplay his draft cost** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Drake London, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **T.J.
