# Andrew Erickson: In his 2026 fantasy football draft cheat sheet, Erickson names dozens of sleepers/targets and busts across quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end, plus value picks by draft range, backup running backs to target or avoid, rookies to target or avoid, and defenses to draft. **Claimed:** Aug 29, 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/2026/08/fantasy-football-draft-cheat-sheet-rankings-targets-2026/ 102 checkable claims — 65 sleeper calls, 36 fantasy bust calls and 1 positional finishe — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 131 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > AJB WR1 szn is loading. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jerry Jeudy to fall short of his draft cost** -
