So with Green, Boyd, and Higgins being locks along with Tate and Thomas reportedly doing very well, do you think Erickson makes it in over any of them? I don't think Ross is a cut candidate either since he's guaranteed his remaining contract ($5.5 mill) and put up nearly the same yards (506 vs 529) but 3 more TDs than Erickson in half the games last year.

I wouldn't take Erickson over any of Green, Boyd, Higgins, Tate, or Ross but I'd take him over a 4th TE or RB.

Quote:- Good luck trying to figure out which receiver makes it after Green, Boyd, Ross, Higgins and Tate. Alex Erickson showed he's going nowhere on Friday. He not only remains the first guy catching punts, but he made some big catches for both Burrow and backup Ryan Finley on Friday.
