Alex Erickson

Alex Erickson caught seven of his eight targets for 98 yards in a 16-9 loss to the Broncos in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Erickson led the Chargers in catches and receiving yards while finishing second on the team in targets. The veteran wideout benefitted from extra playing time thanks to Keenan Allen (heel) and Josh Palmer (concussion) both being unavailable for the game. Erickson will now prepare to face off against the Chiefs in Week 18.

Alex Erickson caught one of two targets for 13 yards and a touchdown during the Chargers' 63-21 loss to the Raiders in Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

Erickson seemed primed for increased volume after commanding seven targets last week. Plus, Keenan Allen (heel) was sidelined this week, creating additional opportunities for other pass-catchers. Erickson had a modest day (at best) and salvaged his outing with the score.

Alex Erickson turned seven targets into just one reception for nine yards during the Chargers' 24-7 loss to the Broncos in Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Erickson saw three targets from Justin Herbert (finger), three from Easton Stick, and one from Keenan Allen. His increased opportunities are intriguing, though it's too early to justify adding him in most redraft leagues.

Alex Erickson caught 1-of-1 target of 23 yards in the Chargers’ 6-0 win over the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Erickson logged his third reception of the season in Sunday’s win. The 31-year-old veteran has just one reception per game over his three games with the team, limiting his fantasy value. Fantasy managers can leave Erickson on the waiver wire heading into Week 14.

Alex Erickson caught his lone target for 12 yards in the Chargers’ 23-20 loss to Green Bay.

Fantasy Impact

Erickson recently signed with the team’s practice squad and was elevated Sunday to make his debut with the Chargers. The 31-year-old will likely continue to see the field as a depth wide receiver and can be left off fantasy rosters for now.
