Pat Fitzmaurice · Sep 13, 2025

Fitzmaurice expects Detroit to blow out Chicago, has aggressively moved Breece Hall and Travis Etienne up his rest-of-season running back ranks (both RB14, with Omarion Hampton at RB13), sees Emeka Egbuka as a rest-of-season WR27, and believes Kenneth Walker will reclaim the lead role in Seattle's backfield.

“I just think the Lions are going to crush the Bears, and the Detroit running game is gonna have a big day.”
