PodcastWeek 1 Fantasy Football RB Rankings & Tiers: The Toughest Start/Sit Running Bac...September 7, 2026

From the episode

I think this is going to be a lower scoring game. You have to consider all the variables from the traveling, from the different time zones.

Negative signalProjection

Erickson is lower on Williams due to travel and defensive concerns.

Erickson is lower than consensus on Kyron Williams (RB16) due to concerns about the Rams' offense struggling in a 10:30 a.m. kickoff, the travel impact, and the 49ers' defensive improvements with Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw returning.
