What Andrew said
“I'm trying to play the release. It's dangerous.”
— Andrew Erickson, defending his pick of Roman Duns over Alfredo's pick of Luther Burden.
“Just don't pay off quarterback. It's not worth it because there's so many guys you can get.”
— Andrew Erickson, on the late-round QB strategy.
“When you fade the most expensive wide receiver without a true season-long breakout, it works out for you because those are the players that bust at the highest rate.”
— Andrew Erickson, explaining his process on Luther Burden
“If you look at the bottom five implied team totals... the Arizona Cardinals are above average in collective ADP. And that does not align with how Vegas is projecting this team. So this to me was a signal: somebody's gonna bust really hard in this Arizona Cardinals offense.”
— Andrew Erickson
“I look at a dark horse player that could be a wide receiver one that goes outside the top 50 receivers in ADP. That's happening in each of the last three seasons... This happens.”
— Andrew Erickson
“If I do mock drafts or best ball drafts, I don't get Zay Flowers... If you don't get him, it makes you feel sick.”
— Andrew Erickson
“I am taking the Dallas Cowboys laying one and a half points on the road against the New York Giants... Dak Prescott, who owns the New York Giants. Like we know this 14-3 straight up against the Giants.”
— Andrew Erickson
“Imagine not taking the under down under with the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers... This is one of the easiest bets that you can make right now.”
— Andrew Erickson
“The Dolphins are gonna beat the Raiders in week one... I want to fade Kirk Cousins into Oblivion.”
— Andrew Erickson
“I think Mark Andrews is just cooked at this point, to be honest.”
— Andrew Erickson, on his fade of the Ravens tight end.
“The average age of the MVP quarterback is usually around 27, 28 years old... Justin Herbert's 28 years old. This is typically when you see quarterbacks hit some of their prime years.”
— Andrew Erickson
“I think it's gonna require an injury to Miles Garrett for him not to win this award because he has the table is set so perfectly for him to just smash and repeat.”
— Andrew Erickson
