I don't see anything that really moves me or scares me on Walker not getting all the valuable touches and close to 80% of the regular touches.
Absolutely love that.
And by the way, when Kenneth Walker has reached the 60% snap mark in 26 games in his career, he's averaged 17 and a half fantasy points.
That's pretty good.
I think when a team prioritizes him as the only real big addition to their offense the entire off-season, they're gonna play him more than 60% snaps in almost every single game.
So if he can keep that up, that's pretty awesome.
And, Jad, it's probably on me.
You probably think I'm the boy who cried wolf because I told you to draft Ken Walker III last year.
But look, we all have eyeballs.
If, and I mean if, he was given that full workload like he got at the end of the regular season and in the playoffs and the Super Bowl, you saw what happened.
You have a fantasy superstar.
Because Ken Walker III is one of the best talents at running back across the league, and I j- I firmly believe he's gonna get there with this.
Like, the, the main reason why the Chiefs added him was because they were 10th in rush yards before contact per attempt.
That's what they, you know, our offensive line created.
But then they were 32nd in rush yards after contact per attempt.
So Ken Walker III, if you give him that same space that you gave, you know, the Neanderthal that is Kareem Hunt last season with, you know, a 60-pound weight vest that he's running with, just more and more explosives and more yards created on his own is what Ken Walker's gonna bring to the table this year.
I have a lot of confidence.
Scary amount of confidence- Okay, good right now in Ken Walker.
Again- Glad to hear it
