Latest takes

Josh Allen
  • Knowing when to start Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson to maximize their potential fantasy production becomes a season-long planning exercise. Do you start Ja’Marr Chase against Miami in Week 5?

    Raju Byfield· Aug 25
  • DJ Moore (WR – BUF) | ADP: 53.2 ( WR 23) After years of dealing with subpar quarterbacks, DJ Moore gets to play with Josh Allen in 2026. He has been productive, averaging 14+ PPR fantasy points per game in five out of seven seasons since his rookie campaign, despite never being an elite touchdown scorer.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 25
  • Ward’s rough rookie year came in a barren offense, and Tennessee overhauled it, adding Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson and, crucially, quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll, whose track record with Josh Allen , Daniel Jones , and Jaxson Dart is exactly the profile you want betting on a second-year leap. Cheap, and trending up.

  • With Josh Allen carrying the way as my QB1, Shough will be a nice Superflex option.

  • 1 spot in a Superflex draft, I couldn’t pass up Josh Allen.

  • The talent pool is so deep that it’s not worth sacrificing the chance to draft a top-20 running back or receiver for the chance to take Josh Allen , the consensus QB1.

  • Leaving a crowded receiver room in Chicago for Buffalo in the offseason, Moore becomes the de facto first read for Josh Allen on all passing plays.

  • In fact, he and Josh Allen are the only two QBs to have 300 fantasy points in each of the last two seasons.

    Ellis Johnson· Aug 19
  • Josh Allen should be the undisputed QB1, but the weekly scoring gap at the position is very narrow. Last season, the difference between Allen, the QB1, and Daniel Jones , the QB18, was only four fantasy points per game. With the position so deep, this further strengthens the case for a late-round quarterback strategy in 2026.

    Kyle Zeigler· Aug 18
  • While there are five quarterbacks in this tier, Allen stands clearly ahead of the rest. The superstar has finished as a top-five quarterback in six consecutive seasons despite not having a go-to No. 1 wide receiver since the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 16
  • Bills QB Josh Allen is an amazing football player and a time-tested fantasy asset.

  • Josh Allen is microwave popcorn because when he gets hot, he absolutely pops off. One explosive play turns into another, the TDs start piling up, and suddenly you are staring at a fantasy score that felt impossible just a few quarters ago.

    Brooke Morgan· Aug 12
  • There’s no doubt that quarterbacks like Allen, Jackson, Drake Maye, and more should score more, but drafting any in the first few rounds is a bad idea.

  • Most notably, he oversaw the development of Josh Allen as Offensive Coordinator in Buffalo from 2018 through 2021.

    Kyle Lesti· Aug 11
  • The Sharp Football Analysis projections are aggressive in factoring in increased passing from Allen and are well above the Vegas passing yards total. ESPN’s publicly available projections have a moderate increase in passing attempts and yardage from last year and are still more than 300 yards over the passing total.

    Curtis Hirsch· Aug 10
Kenneth Walker
  • Don’t be surprised if Walker takes advantage of a light box and dominates as the featured guy in a dangerous Kansas City offense.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 26
  • Walker is the most interesting addition. He has good hands and could take away some short opportunities. He can also help Kansas City sustain drives, create more red zone possessions, and improve an offense that ranked only 15th in points last season.

  • The final piece of evidence I lay before the court is that of the brand-new, three-year, $45.04m contract of a man who has disintegrated the pants of one Mike Wright these last few months…Mr Kenneth Walker. Looking back at the long list of RBs Kansas City have deployed since the days of Jamaal Charles, only Kareem Hunt and most recently Isaiah Pacheco have given this run game any kind of consistency…until now.

  • Round 13: Travis Kelce (TE – KC) The Chiefs didn’t add any new weapons besides Kenneth Walker III .

  • That should change with the arrival of big-play RB Kenneth Walker III.

  • Check out all of DBro’s top fantasy football draft picks to target >> Kenneth Walker III (RB – KC) The Chiefs have had a plodding backfield in recent years, with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt producing few explosives in the running game.

  • Selected with the final pick in the first round, Seattle brought in Jadarian Price to immediately slide into the vacancy that Kenneth Walker III left behind.

  • Last year, he orchestrated one of the most dynamic rushing attacks in the league, ultimately leading Kenneth Walker to a Super Bowl MVP accolade.

    Ellis Johnson· Aug 19
  • According to Fantasy Points Data, the Chiefs saw a two-high safety look at the third-highest rate in the NFL last year. If defenses continue to defend Kansas City with that look, Walker will take advantage of the light box. He had the second-highest explosive run rate (8.1%) among qualifying running backs last season (per Fantasy Points Data).

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 18
  • However, Kenneth Walker III will be the workhorse of this offense and should see an uptick in usage in the passing game, especially with Patrick Mahomes coming off his ACL injury.

    Kurt Blakeway· Aug 16
  • Reportedly, the Chiefs will make Kenneth Walker III their featured running back, including in the passing game.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 12
  • With Zach Charbonnet injured, Walker had a ridiculously productive postseason run last season: 65 carries, 313 rushing yards, four touchdowns, nine receptions, 104 receiving yards.

  • Seattle let Kenneth Walker III go despite Zach Charbonnet still recovering from his ACL injury.

    Tom Strachan· Aug 11
  • Kenneth Walker III (RB – KC) Currently RB9 in dynasty ECR, one analyst believes Walker is at his absolute peak value right now given the wave of hype around his move to a new, higher-profile situation, valuing him personally much lower. The concern is a real track record of not handling a massive workload, with his new team’s added backfield depth suggesting the coaching staff may share that concern.

  • The opportunity ahead of Walker in the Chiefs offense could push him into the elite fantasy production tier, as Kansas City has lacked a top-end RB in Andy Reid’s offense for some time. If Walker can stay on the field, he should have every chance to be a great value in the second round of drafts.

    Kurt Mullen· Aug 7
