Kenneth Walker vs Brock Bowers

“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.”

“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).”

“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.”

“Reportedly, the Chiefs will make Kenneth Walker III their featured running back, including in the passing game.”

“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.”

“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.”

“De’Von Achane , Breece Hall, and Kenneth Walker”

“After all, TE1 Brock Bowers goes around the mid-2nd round, after selecting approximately 18 RBs and WRs. If we’re confident Bowers finishes as the overall TE1, that could make sense. But we also know that around half of those RBs and WRs will bust, which means plenty of candidates can still score 250 at those positions.”

“Whether you prefer Brock Bowers or Trey McBride doesn’t really matter. Neither should be drafted this high.”

“Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty are unique, as they can definitely coexist. Jeanty will run a bunch and catch a lot of passes, while Bowers will have wide receiver-esque production in this offense, with a target share that could reach 30%.”

“There are three tight ends guaranteed to land in the first four rounds: Brock Bowers , Trey McBride , and Colston Loveland .”

“Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Going around the 21st overall pick, Bowers has real belief behind him as a potential consensus first-round pick a year from now.”

“A fully healthy Brock Bowers with improved quarterback play, an improved offensive line and really no new weapons to compete with means the possibility of a 30% target share.”

“They also have Brock Bowers fully healthy, which is a massive addition to the offense as a whole.”

“He’s the one player I wouldn’t want to miss out on, as he’ll likely be the TE1 this season if he can stay healthy. Bowers will be the No. 1 receiver for this Raiders offense led by Kirk Cousins and/or Fernando Mendoza .”

“With better health in 2026, he has a chance to match or exceed his rookie numbers. The Raiders are talent-starved at wide receiver, so Bowers is poised to be their alpha pass catcher.”

“Brock Bowers has been fantastic since he entered the NFL. He dealt with injuries last season, but was unstoppable when healthy.”

“Starting WR/WR with Drake London or Nico Collins in round two could let you lean into Zero RB with an elite tight end such as Brock Bowers or Trey McBride .”

“If limited to the 10 final starts, which include two games against the Broncos and a game against the Seahawks, 230 yards per game given the limited receiving options outside of Brock Bowers is a lofty target.”
