From the episode

Kenneth Walker reminds me of LaShawn McCoy in the final three seasons with shady and Andy Reed. His 17 game pace was 1800 scrimmage yards...I think Kenneth Walker is going to set a career high in targets by a lot...he has a chance to finish in that top four mix

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Walker ranked 12th overall; projects 1,800 scrimmage yards with top-four RB upside under Reid.

Ranked 12th overall (vs. Yahoo ADP of 21st), Walker is compared to LeSean McCoy in his final three seasons with Andy Reid; his 17-game pace projects to 1,800 scrimmage yards with no RB2 competition (Emmet Johnson and Mario Di Mercado are low-end backups). Walker is expected to set a career high in targets, post fantastic rushing efficiency, and receive 20+ touches per game, positioning him for top-four RB finish; he averaged 17.5 PPR per game over his last 26 games at 60%+ snap share and caught 4+ passes per game two years ago.
