From the episode

Kenneth Walker had... last year he had three and a half receiving points per game... 17 running backs ranked outside the top 12... had less than a 0.6 yards per route run rate... Only 6% of them have outperformed ADP expectation by four more points per game the following year... I've cooled off on him a little bit over the last month because I do think there's a chance that they use like an Amari Di Mercado and Emmett Johnson or whomever to play a little bit of a receiving role.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Walker scored only 3.5 receiving PPR points per game last year. Historically, top-18 RBs with 0-4 receiving PPR points in the prior season underperformed expectations at the highest rate, with only 6% outperforming ADP by 4+ PPR points the following year. The analyst has cooled on Walker due to potential receiving role competition.
