  • Quiet finale

    Erickson notched a 16-yard reception across four targets in the Bengals' Week 17 win over the Browns. He finished the season with 43 catches for 529 yards and zero touchdowns to go along with 157 punt return yards.

    Analysis: Erickson will be a free agent this upcoming offseason, and it's uncertain whether the Bengals intend to re-sign him. He lost the primary kick-return duties this season, so his utility to the team has diminished despite being more active on offense.

  • Busy day

    Erickson had six catches for 55 yards on nine targets in Sunday's loss to Miami. He also had 43 yards on punt returns.

    Analysis: Erickson has ended up seeing a lot of work lately as the Bengals' No. 3 receiver, and this was his second-highest target total of the year. The Bengals had to throw constantly in the second half just to force overtime, where they ultimately fell short.

  • Critical fumble

    Erickson lost a fumble on a punt return right before halftime in Sunday's loss to the Pats.

    Analysis: Erickson's fumble helped the Pats regain the lead, one that they would not relinquish. It was an overall disappointing day for Erickson, whose offensive contributions amounted to one catch for six yards on five targets.

  • To benefit from Tate, Green absences

    Erickson is expected to have a regular role in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Patriots with A.J. Green (ankle) ruled out for the contest and Auden Tate (knee) recently moving to injured reserve, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: As Dragon notes, Green hasn't practiced since Nov. 4, so there's a real chance the star wideout remains sidelined for Weeks 16 and 17 as well. The absences of Green and Tate will open up snaps for Erickson alongside Tyler Boyd and John Ross, with the Wisconsin product likely to do most of his damage as a short-yardage target out of the slot. Erickson played 80 percent of the offensive snaps -- his second-highest rate of the season -- in the Bengals' Week 14 loss in Cleveland, finishing with…read more

  • Leads team in targets

    Erickson caught five of seven targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Erickson led the team in targets and tied for first in receptions, but he was mostly limited to short gains and finished with modest yardage. He's seen 17 targets over the last three games, but that has translated into just nine catches for 109 receiving yards. Despite his involvement, Erickson carries little fantasy value and this should remain the case next Sunday against the Patriots.

  • Catches both targets

    Erickson caught both his targets for 21 yards and returned three punts for six yards during Sunday's win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Erickson saw eight targets last week versus the Steelers but wasn't nearly as involved with Andy Dalton back at quarterback, despite playing a similar number of offensive snaps. The 27-year-old posted 14 catches for 234 yards in Weeks 7 and 8, but across the last four games he has only five receptions for 64 yards. Erickson's fantasy potential remains limited while Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate are healthy.

  • Catches two of eight targets

    Erickson caught two of his eight targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Erickson finished second on the team in targets, but he struggled time and again to connect with Ryan Finley. He did make a flashy 30-yard gain at one point but was otherwise held in check. This was certainly an improvement over his last two games, during which he caught one of seven targets for zero yards, but it's tough to endorse Erickson's fantasy value for next week's matchup with the Jets.

  • Zero yards against Raiders

    Erickson had one catch for zero yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Rookie quarterback Ryan Finley really struggled despite a matchup that appeared to be advantageous, and that really manifested itself with the production of the Bengals' wide receivers. Both Erickson and Tyler Boyd essentially were shut out.

  • Removed from injury report

    Erickson (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Oakland.

    Analysis: Erickson returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant before upgrading to a full session Friday. He should have at least one or two more weeks with a top-three role in Zac Taylor's three-wide-heavy offense, as A.J. Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game after sitting out every practice this week. Erickson's four games with snap shares above 50 percent have yielded 18 catches for 281 yards on 29 targets, though most of that production came with Andy Dalton playing…read more

  • Logs limited practice

    Erickson (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After Erickson sat out Wednesday's practice with the issue, this represents an upgrade. Friday will go a long way to determining the 27-year-old's status for gameday. Stanley Morgan would likely receive more snaps if Erickson is forced to sit.

  • Day-to-day with back injury

    Coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that Erickson is considered day-to-day due to a back injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Taylor also said that Erickson won't participate in live drills Wednesday, putting the wideout on track for a non-participation listing on the Bengals' first practice report of Week 11. Erickson will have two more chances to practice ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Raiders. With John Ross (shoulder) having been designated to return from injured reserve and A.J. Green (ankle) working toward a potential return, Erickson could end up taking a back seat in Cincinnati's aerial attack down the…read more

  • Dealing with undisclosed injury

    Offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said Erickson's snaps were limited during Sunday's loss to Baltimore due to an undisclosed injury, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Erickson failed to bring in either of the two targets he saw over 38 snaps before leaving the game. Rookie Stanley Morgan saw a career high in playing time as a result of Erickson's absence, but he was only able to catch one of four targets for nine yards on an identical 38 offensive snaps. Erickson's participation in practice this week will be telling for his availability for Sunday's game in Oakland. If he's unable to go, Morgan again figures to take on an expanded role.

  • Makes big catch in garbage time

    Erickson caught six of seven targets for 97 yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Erickson was bottled up for much of the afternoon before slipping past the defense for a 52-yard reception during the final minute of the game. It was Erickson's second catch for at least 45 yards in as many games after no such receptions in his first three-plus seasons in the league. There's little to look forward to for the Bengals this season, but Erickson seems to be turning up the heat, averaging seven touches and 98.7 total yards in his last three games. Next up, after the bye, is a…read more

  • Carries offense early in loss

    Erickson caught eight of 14 targets for 137 yards and lost two yards on two carries in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Erickson had six catches for 110 yards before any other Bengal caught a single pass, and his 14 targets ultimately tied with Tyler Boyd for the team lead. His two rushing attempts yielded wildly different results, as one resulted in a nine-yard gain and the other lost 11. Considering Erickson hadn't previously topped 50 receiving yards in a game this season, his involvement in the offense is likely to drop precipitously against the Rams in Week 8.

  • Second-leading receiver in loss

    Erickson caught four of six targets for 47 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-17 defeat to the Ravens.

    Analysis: A special-teams ace by trade, Erickson has seen an uptick in his offensive involvement lately with injuries to A.J. Green (ankle) and John Ross (shoulder). Against Baltimore, Erickson garnered six-plus targets for just the third time in Cincinnati's past 36 regular-season games, while his 47 yards were his most since Week 17 of last year. Up next, he and the Bengals receiving corps will be going up against a Jaguars defense that allowed only Michael Thomas to exceed 40 receiving yards Sunday.

  • Ready to rock

    Erickson (concussion) is not listed on Friday's injury report, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Erickson has managed to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to suit up Sunday versus Baltimore. He's primed to play a regular role in Cincinnati's receiving corps behind Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate.

  • Turns in full practice

    Erickson (concussion) put in a full practice Thursday, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Erickson's upgrade from limited participation Wednesday to a full showing one day later amounts to a step forward, he'll still need to receive clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the concussion protocol. If that happens before Sunday's game in Baltimore, Erickson should reclaim a regular spot in three-receiver sets alongside Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate.

  • Still in concussion protocol

    Erickson remains in the NFL's concussion protocol as of Wednesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: On the plus side, coach Zac Taylor relayed that Erickson is making progress, but the receiver's status for Sunday's game against the Ravens is unclear at this stage. With A.J. Green (ankle) still out and John Ross (shoulder) on injured reserve, Erickson -- if available -- would be in line for his share of snaps in Week 6 alongside starters Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Erickson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a concussion.

    Analysis: With Erickson sidelined, Stanley Morgan figures to see added snaps Sunday, in tandem with fellow receivers Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate.

  • In line for Week 5 start

    Coach Zac Taylor said Erickson would serve as a starting receiver alongside Tyler Boyd and Auden Tate in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Erickson will be in store for a spike in snaps after the Bengals placed John Ross (shoulder) on injured reserve earlier this week. Though he'll draw a favorable matchup against a weak Arizona secondary in his seventh NFL start, Erickson is still unlikely to rank as much more than a tertiary option in the passing game with the Bengals expected to pepper Boyd with targets in the slot. Additionally, the likes of Tate, tight end Tyler Eifert and running backs Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard may also…read more

  • Makes 13-yard grab

    Erickson caught his only target for 13 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Erickson only played seven of 61 possible offensive snaps in this contest. He's most effective as a punt returner -- he has 42 return yards this year -- but he lost the kick returner job to Darius Phillips this season.

  • Just one catch

    Erickson had one catch for 14 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to the Niners.

    Analysis: Andy Dalton had a chance to connect on a big play with Erickson on a third down in the second quarter, but instead of throwing deep to the corner, where Erickson had his man beat, he instead threw a back-shoulder pass that fell incomplete, leading later to a missed field goal.

  • Bengals' fourth receiver

    Erickson had four catches for 28 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He also had 34 yards in punt returns, but lost a fumble on one of those returns.

    Analysis: Erickson was only on the field for 11 offensive snaps Sunday, putting him fourth in line among Bengals wideouts, most notably behind Damion Willis.

  • Shines as punt returner

    Erickson hauled in three catches for 15 yards in the Bengals' second preseason game against the Redskins on Thursday. However, he made his biggest impact with a 75-yard touchdown on a punt return.

    Analysis: Erickson recorded the game's final score with a long punt return, initially streaking down the right sideline prior to cutting into the middle of the field to reach the end zone. He made his biggest impact with the offensive unit early in the second quarter, when he caught a 12-yard pass over the middle from Ryan Finley to convert on third-down. Erickson is set to primarily contribute as both a kick and punt returner, though he could be in line for some role with the offense while A.J. Green…read more

  • Working with first-team offense

    Erickson received added work with the first-team offense in spring workouts due to injuries to A.J. Green (toe) and John Ross (undisclosed), Michael LaPlaca of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Already valued for his prowess on kick and punt returns, Erickson seems to be making a case for an expanded role on offense. Whether the Wisconsin product actually improves upon the career-high 362 offensive reps he logged in 2018 is no sure thing, but his chances of doing so are aided by the fact that the receivers above him on the depth chart (Green, Tyler Boyd and Ross) have missed 37 combined games over the past three seasons. Meanwhile, Erickson has been a picture of health since entering…read more

  • Leads Bengals in receiving Sunday

    Erickson had six catches for 63 yards in the Bengals' loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He also had 87 kick-return yards.

    Analysis: Erickson's output represented two-thirds of the passing offense for the game, unfortunately. He finished the season with 20 catches for 167 yards, with the vast majority of that production coming in the final three weeks after injuries sidelined both Tyler Boyd and A.J. Green. If he returns next season, most of his production will remain on special teams.

  • Second straight multi-catch outing

    Erickson caught both of his targets, accumulating 35 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-18 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The third-year man out of Wisconsin has 58 receiving yards over the past two weeks, more than he's racked up in any two-game span since Weeks 11 and 12 of last season. Usually a full-time special teams ace, Erickson has garnered seven targets in the past two games, a vast increase compared to his typical passing game involvement (1.5 targets per contest entering Sunday). Erickson also had a 33-yard kick return Sunday that helped spark Cincinnati's first scoring drive of the afternoon (a field…read more

  • Targeted five times

    Erickson caught three of five targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 30-14 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Erickson experienced an uptick in usage after teammate Tyler Boyd exited the game with a knee injury. He tied for the team lead in targets, equaling his season high in catches while finishing one yard shy of his personal best in that category. Erickson could see more targets next week against the Browns if Boyd is forced to miss out, but the latter downplayed the severity of his injury after the game.

  • Tallies 14 yards in loss

    Erickson had a 14-yard run during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: The 14 total yards were the most Erickson has picked up since Week 5. The Wisconsin product has been targeted just twice, gaining two receiving yards, over his past five games. Cincinnati is bottoming out with seven losses in the last eight games, the past two with backup Jeff Driskel at quarterback. A rebound is unlikely against a Raiders defense ranked in the top half of the league in passing, surrendering just 253 yards per game.

  • Shut out again

    Erickson didn't have any catches in Sunday's loss to the Ravens and was targeted just once.

    Analysis: For a while, it appeared that Erickson had an opportunity to get more targets with A.J. Green out, but instead, those targets have flowed elsewhere. Erickson was on the field for only nine offensive snaps.

  • Shut out in loss to Saints

    Erickson was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's loss to the Saints. He did have five kick returns for 110 yards.

    Analysis: There was some speculation that Erickson might be more active in the passing game with A.J. Green out, but it didn't work out that way, though the Bengals ran hardly any plays in the blowout loss.
