Wednesday, September 30

▲ FantasyPros Dynasty Football Podcast: Blocked by Kenneth Walker but flashing dual-threat ability; hosts argue he's undervalued, ranked behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. in rankings, and worth acquiring for a contender's win-now piece. listen ↗

▲ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Has shown two-way value as a runner and pass catcher and could see extra touches if Kansas City rests Kenneth Walker, giving him flex upside. listen ↗

Saturday, September 26

▲ RotoWire Fantasy Football With Theo Gremminger: Strong underlying metrics as Kenneth Walker's handcuff, with a potential garbage-time role if Seattle blows out Miami. listen ↗

▲ The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Ranked RB34 vs consensus RB41; great matchup vs Miami's run defense, favorable coach speak, hosts lament that Minnesota didn't draft him instead of DeMond Claiborne. listen ↗

Friday, September 25

▲ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Hosts call him a potential 'fab buster' handcuff behind Ken Walker III given Walker's already-heavy touch count, and prefer stashing him over Quentin Johnston. listen ↗

▲ RotoWire Fantasy Football With Theo Gremminger: Praised for elite yards-after-contact rate (over 70% avoided-tackle rate per touch), called the best handcuff in football and a viable RB30 spot-start. listen ↗

Thursday, September 24

▲ Fantasy Focus Football: Role has grown each week behind Kansas City's offense; hosts recommend stashing him now given Kenneth Walker III's historical pattern of missing time due to heavy touch usage. listen ↗

▲ Fantasy Football Today: Sleeper flex option as Chiefs are big favorites over Dolphins; efficient with broken tackles and could see 12+ touches. listen ↗

Wednesday, September 23

▲ The Audible: Expected to continue getting more snaps due to strong pass protection ability, making him a stash if you roster Walker. listen ↗

Tuesday, September 22
Both shows are high on him as a stash behind Kenneth Walker III, flashing explosive, tackle-breaking traits and grading out as one of the best handcuffs in fantasy despite low roster rates; he's not a must-start now but instantly jumps to top-12 RB value if Walker sits.

▲ Fantasy Football Today: Backup to Kenneth Walker III who looked good on limited snaps; team reportedly wants to give him more work, making him a long-term stash even though Walker still projects for 20+ touches. listen ↗

▲ The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: A ZAP model favorite prospect who has looked good filling in for Kenneth Walker; JJ calls him one of the best handcuffs in fantasy, still available in 70%+ of leagues. listen ↗

▲ Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Rookie flashing explosive tackle-breaking ability behind Kenneth Walker III; not an immediate must-start but would be a top-12 RB if Walker misses time. listen ↗

Monday, September 21

▲ Fantasy Football Today: 57% rostered; recommended add given the offense's operation and a favorable Dolphins matchup where both backs could get work. listen ↗
