Alex Erickson Fantasy

The Houston Texans signed free-agent wide receiver Donte Moncrief and former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson to undisclosed one-year deals on Thursday, according to a source. There is opportunity in Houston with Will Fuller V leaving for the Dolphins, but Moncrief and Erickson figure to fight for playing time behind Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee. Moncrief, 27, was a non-factor in just six games for the New England Patriots last year and has become mostly a special teams player at this point in his career. He has five combined catches the last two seasons. Erickson, 28, has spent all five of his seasons in Cincinnati. He caught just 12 passes on 17 targets for 139 yards in 16 games (two starts) in 2020 but can also be an option for Houston in the return game.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson pulled in six catches (nine targets) for 55 yards during the Week 16 loss to Miami. Erickson was able to take advantage of Andy Dalton's 56 attempts on the day by recording one of his most productive performances of 2019. He wasn't a reliable week-to-week option this season, but he did have value at times in deeper formats, especially with Cincy dealing with injuries throughout the year. He will look to build on this performance when the Bengals close out the season against the visiting Browns in Week 17.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson made two catches for 43 yards in a loss to the Steelers Sunday. This was Erickson's first game with more than one catch, and the first time he's had positive yards since Week 8. Erickson is best left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
