Fitzmaurice expects Detroit to blow out Chicago, has aggressively moved Breece Hall and Travis Etienne up their 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.Pat Fitzmaurice · Availability Calls · Travis Etienne · Waiting
In their Week 10 waiver column, Fitzmaurice predicted Jonathan Taylor would likely be traded by the deadline, expected Travis Etienne Jr. not to return in Week 10 while Mike Evans, Garrett Wilson and Kyle Monangai return soon, and saw Shedeur Sanders holding Cleveland's starting job and Konata Mumpfield working as the Rams' top receiver.Andrew Erickson · Depth Chart Calls · Travis Etienne · Waiting
In their Week 8 waiver-wire column, Erickson makes a series of rest-of-season roster calls: they expect Travis Etienne Jr. to reclaim the Saints' starting backfield job, Woody Marks and Jordan Mason to hold RB1 roles, Marvin Harrison Jr. to move into a full-time Texans role after the bye, and Rachaad White to be Washington's lead back. They also argue Tony Pollard, Nico Collins, Tetairoa McMillan, Travis Kelce and George Pickens are overvalued at their current rest-of-season rankings, while Parker Washington is a buy, and they project Malik Nabers to remain a top-12 fantasy receiver.

McCarthy · Hit 100
