Kenneth Walker (Chiefs) vs. Jets: I publicly faded Walker in Weeks 7-8, and fortunately (for me) he had his two worst games of the season (9.1 fantasy points per game, 141 yards, 0 TDs on 35 carries, 10 targets). But I'm back on him this week as a -9.5 favorite at Arrowhead Stadium.

Walker's elite home-favorite splits and Jets' injury-depleted defense warrant upgrade.

Walker gets an upgrade as a -9.5 home favorite at Arrowhead Stadium against the Jets. Despite fading him in Weeks 7-8 when he had his two worst games (9.1 fantasy points per game, 141 yards, 0 TDs on 35 carries, 10 targets), his usage over the past two weeks has been strong (77% snap rate, 95% rush share, 100% goal-line rush share, 59% route rate, 82 Utilization Score). He has had big splits as a home favorite in his brief Chiefs tenure (26.8 fantasy points per game, 169.3 yards, 1.3 TDs vs. 17.2, 98.3, 1.0 otherwise). The Jets could be without EDGEs David Bailey (groin) and Joseph Ossai (ankle) on top of NT T'Vondre Sweat (knee, IR) and DT David Onyemata (groin, IR).
