You know what you're going to get from him. He'll do the job, but he's not exciting.
Erickson doesn't have enough speed and agility to really be a threat to take it to the house.
His longest PR this year was 29 yards, which ranked 17th in the league.
He has 0 return TDs (both KR and PR) in his five seasons in the league.
He has been periodically in the Top 10 a few times before though in terms of YPR (including this year at PR), he's just not a home run threat.
I'm 99.9% sure that Alex Erickson ranks in the top 3 in fumbles the last two years among return men. And I'd be willing to bet there's a good chance he's number 1.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but I know he was near the top last year, and I know he's near the top again this year. Couple the two together and he's way up that list.
We have to account for this in addition to everything you just said.
