STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Walker's 2-game slump drops him from RB1 contention to next tier.

Walker has totaled 35 carries and eight catches over the last two weeks but has scored just 18.1 combined fantasy points after scoring 20+ in each of his first five games. He averaged 2.6 yards per carry against Seattle's stingy defense in Week 7 and just 3.3 yards per carry against Denver in Week 8 (a team he obliterated in Week 1), suggesting defenses may be adjusting their game plan against Kansas City after the team won five straight on Walker's back (now lost two straight). The source notes that with upcoming matchups against the Jets, Falcons, Cardinals, and Bills, Walker should bounce back, but this dip has likely taken him out of the conversation for No. 1 back in the game and back into the next tier of RB1s that includes Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey.
