Rest of Season or Rest of Career with Andrew Erickson
Andrew Erickson of FantasyPros is one of the few analysts who ranks players for both the rest of the season and dynasty, so he's got insight into when each set of rankings should drive your roster decisions. We dig into the mushy middle of the standings, whether a deep 2027 rookie class changes the tank-or-compete math, and why this is no time to panic-sell Ashton Jeanty. 💡 Key Takeaways Dynasty rankings should move slowly. Andrew held Drake Maye steady through a rough first month and makes big moves mainly for injuries and major situation changes. Bet on talent over situation. Depth charts and landing spots change fast, so talented players the market has written off, like Omarion Hampton and Ashton Jeanty, are buy-low targets. In the mushy middle, decide whether you're a contender or a pretender. If a juggernaut stands in your way that no trade can beat, start looking ahead to 2027. In a deep 2027 class, the 1.06 may be worth nearly as much as the 1.04, so trying for the playoffs and falling short may cost less than usual. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Welcome and Tale of a Sad Barista 02:02 – Ranking Two Timelines: Drake Maye, Lamar Jackson & Omarion Hampton 07:39 – Keeping the Brains Separate: Makai Lemon, Jadarian Price & Jeremiyah Love 13:10 – Which Rankings Should You Use?
