# Pat Fitzmaurice: Fitzmaurice gave his own Week 3 running back rankings, notably placing Jordan Mason as an RB1 at No. 7, keeping Genty on consensus, and fading James Conner and Trevion Henderson; he also said Cam Skattaboo has taken over the Giants backfield with Tyrone Tracy as the No. 2. **Claimed:** Sep 19, 2025 **Pundit:** Pat Fitzmaurice — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/pat-fitzmaurice **Outlet:** The Herd with Colin Cowherd (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast/week-3-fantasy-football-running-back-rankings-tiers-studs-sleepers-and-must-starts-ep-1715 3 checkable claims — 2 depth chart calls and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 3 have settled, averaging 76.1 out of 100, against 80.6 for a naive guess at the same calls. > I think there's a good chance Jordan Mason gets twenty or more carries this week. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Fitz you've got him at seven... You guys both hand in hand are saying twenty two... fits has got him at seventeen... I've got o'mary and Hampton ranked ORB twenty three... Fitzi, you are twenty seven...
