Andrew Erickson · Oct 1, 2025
Erickson stayed high on Ja'Marr Chase (WR6) and Jaylen Waddle (WR14), backed a Ladd McConkey bounce-back against Washington, was low on Jordan Addison (WR40) and AJ Brown (WR23), and floated Jerry Jeudy as a fringe top-36 play.
“So that's why I'm buying the dip on Jamar Chase ... So I'm starting him no matter what.”
