Lands back on practice squad
Erickson reverted to New England's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Erickson got his third straight elevation ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Bills and saw action on offense for the first time this season, logging 14 offensive snaps without getting any targets. He also worked as the Patriots' primary return man, returning one kick for 16 yards and two punts for 26 yards. After catching 16 passes for 232 yards and one touchdown over eight games with the Chargers last year, Erickson was a free agent for most of the 2024 campaign, as he didn't latch on with New England's practice squad until mid-December.

Erickson has appeared in 99 NFL games but has only 96 career catches, as the 30-year-old wide receiver has played predominantly on special teams. He'll compete for a roster spot with the Jets in 2023 and could contribute as a return man, but Erickson's unlikely to carve out a substantial role on offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On roster bubble?
Erickson may have a hard time making the Bengals' final roster in 2020 due to some offseason additions, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Erickson has been a nice story since earning a spot on the team after going undrafted in 2016. However, the Bengals are already deep at wide receiver and still added rookie pass catchers Tee Higgins and Scotty Washington during the offseason. The Wisconsin product's value on special teams also diminished last year, as he was relegated to punt returner only. He is on the last year of a two-year contract and could save the team $1.9 million if ultimately let go.
