Kenneth Walker possesses league-winning upside, with a playstyle compared to LeSean McCoy. He is positioned for massive volume as the clear lead back in Andy Reid's offense, with no significant competition behind him. He is expected to benefit from the best offensive line of his career, which is anchored by center Creed Humphrey.

0:00Could Kenneth Walker be like this year's
0:02version of 2024 Derrick Henry, 2024 Josh
0:06Jacobs, like the next free agent running
0:09back to land somewhere and absolutely
0:11crush?
0:12>> I think there's a great parallels. I
0:14think this is going to be the best
0:14offensive line of his career behind
0:17Creed Humphrey. Um they have to get the
0:19both tackle spots right, but their left
0:21tackle has a chance to be really good if
0:23he can just stay on the field and take
0:25kind of take that next step going into
0:26the second season. So, I think the thing
0:28that goes overlooked because the Chiefs
0:29running back has been so bad recently is
0:32five or six years ago, the talk in
0:34fantasy with Andy Reid was look at his
0:36history of fantasy running backs. Andy
0:38Reid had Duce Staley, Brian Westbrook,
0:40Jamaal Charles, LeSean McCoy.
0:42And those guys were like the top fantasy
0:44players like in their seasons. I think
0:46there is a little bit of LeSean McCoy to
0:48Kenneth Walker's game. And just because
0:50they haven't had running backs recently,
0:52we forget about how dominant Andy Reid
0:55has uh been at getting his running backs
0:59crazy crazy volume. There's nobody
1:01behind Kenneth Walker. They paid him a
1:03lot of money. This is like the only move
1:05they made on offense this year.
1:07I think he's going to get all the
1:08touches. I think he's going to catch
1:09more passes than he ever has before. And
1:12I [music] am hopeful that we get the
1:13narrative again that Andy Reid had been
1:15like a fantasy running back one
1:17uh automatically. And I think that he
1:19finally has the skill player to to do
1:21it.
