PodcastECR vs. ADP: Draft Picks Experts Love to Target with Justin Boone (Ep. 2149)August 24, 2026

From the episode

I just don't think the volume is going to be nearly as much as it was last year when you're throwing in a player like Jaylen Waddle into the fold. And it scares me a lot that Troy Franklin was basically eating into Cortland Sutton's targets routes last year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Erickson is fading Sutton due to target competition and declining efficiency.

Erickson is fading Cortland Sutton, citing his sub-20% target share last year and the addition of Jaylen Waddle to the offense. Erickson also notes that Sutton's yards per route run have declined for three consecutive seasons and that younger players like Pat Bryant are expected to eat into his target and route volume.
