Pat Fitzmaurice · Oct 30, 2025

Fitzmorris gave his Week 9 wide receiver rankings, going higher than consensus on Rashee Rice, Michael Pittman, Tee Higgins, Wan'Dale Robinson and Jameson Williams while ranking both Jaguars receivers below consensus. He also said Travis Hunter overtaking Brian Thomas as Jacksonville's No. 1 receiver is fiction and ranked with the expectation Kyler Murray plays.

“I just I still worry about the lack of chemistry between Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior.”
