Kenneth Walker
vs Chris Olave

“Kenneth Walker has been making all the noise, but his current workload pace is unsustainable. The Chiefs should have a positive gamescript in Miami, presenting a strong opportunity to have an increase in carries. Entering the week ranked as the RB39, Johnson could have more opportunities to spell Walker, especially because history & conventional wisdom has shown Walker does best with fresh legs.”

“We got a look at the ceiling this offense, with more balance and operating around Kenneth Walker , can bring to Mahomes. This was more in line with 2022 Mahomes, when he was just getting everyone involved. Mahomes connected on 32 of 47 passes (68.1%) for 382 yards (8.1 Y/A) with 3 touchdowns.”

“Walker had 30 touches this past week, averaging nearly 5 YPC on the ground and 10 yards per reception on short dump-offs and screen passes. His presence allows Kansas City to be truly two-dimensional on offense for the first time in years, which is a scary prospect for the rest of the league. Patrick Mahomes openly gushed about Walker’s presence before this game started in an interview, saying that he wasn’t surprised by his success thus far, considering he was the Super Bowl MVP.”

“It’s just the fourth time since his rookie season that Walker has hit 23 carries in a game, including the Super Bowl, and if the Chiefs offense continues to revolve around K9, he’s in for a special run.”

“Kenneth Walker – 6 targets, 3 rec Rashee Rice – 2 targets, 2 rec Walker did most of his work on the ground while dominating Monday Night Football, but do not overlook his work through the air. He only saw six or more targets five times in his 62 career games as a Seahawk. That kind of work in the passing game will be useful for fantasy if things aren’t going so well on the ground.”

“Denver Broncos Walker had an exceptional debut. The reigning Super Bowl MVP had an incredible first outing with his new team, dominating the Broncos on the ground and fundamentally changing what Kansas City’s offense looked like. Patrick Mahomes had an up-and-down performance off his knee injury, but it didn’t matter.”

“The Seahawks made it clear this offseason they wanted Price in a role similar to what Kenneth Walker had last year, and if you remember correctly, we hated that role until Zach Charbonnet got injured. Jadarian Price every touch in his NFL debut He’s a natural fit in the Seahawks wide zone offense, averaging 5.2 yards/carry Wednesday night.”

“Joining Kansas City with a huge payday, Walker should be thrust into one of the largest workloads of his career. Walker played over 60% of the offensive snaps in just one game during the regular season last year before being thrust into a larger role after Zach Charbonnet suffered a knee injury in the playoffs.”

“Don’t be surprised if Walker takes advantage of a light box and dominates as the featured guy in a dangerous Kansas City offense.”

“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.”

“Murray/Hockenson with Olave is my shot at MIN scoring through the air instead of through Jones.”

“Saints Fantasy Wide Receiver Preview Chris Olave (TRUST) Olave has double-digit targets in every game, leading to lines of 10-182-0, 8-86-1, and 9-107-0. He has run 132 routes (2nd only to his teammate Devaughn Vele ) but has seen 29% of the targets (WR5) and 47.7% of the air yards (WR4). He has play volume and front-end usage on his side, which has made him a front-end WR1 for fantasy.”

“Olave has had at least 10 targets in each game this season. Olave will be somewhat popular, but with his price the sixth-highest on DraftKings, rostership shouldn’t be too aggressive. He’s a strong stack with Shough and playable as a one-off as well.”

“Chris Olave is second in the league in both catches and receiving yards. Olave is also tied for second with DK Metcalf in total routes run. And yet, Olave is actually second on his own team in routes run.”

“Chris Olave – 13 targets, 10 rec Devaughn Vele – 9 targets, 7 rec Travis Etienne Jr . – 9 targets, 7 rec The Saints fell to Detroit in that overtime game, but it was not for lack of trying, especially from Tyler Shough , who attempted 56 passes. With that many passes going around, it is not surprising to see a trio of Saints with at least nine targets. Olave averaged 9.8 targets/game last season, while Vele tied his career-high with the nine targets.”

“Playing with a guardian cap in an effort to stave off concussions that have plagued him in the past, Olave is easily Tyler Shough ‘s favorite target and will look to repeat as a mid-range WR1 this season.”

“Chris Olave averaged 18.8 fantasy PPG with Tyler Shough. Only Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ja’Marr Chase and Amon-Ra St. Brown averaged more in 2025.”

“Whenever he is on the field opposite Chris Olave (who has his own injury history), Tyson has tremendous upside, offering elite separation ability and versatility across the field.”

“Chris Olave (WR – NO) | ADP: 27 (WR11) Chris Olave is in the bucket of players I discussed in the intro who have a high floor and a high ceiling, hence Olave’s average draft position (ADP) at the beginning of the third round in 12-team leagues.”

“Chris Olave is my answer because the market is still pricing him as a back-end WR1 while I see a legitimate path to a top-five season.”

“Round 4: Chris Olave (WR – NO) With Tyler Shough as his quarterback and Rashid Shaheed not on the field, Olave had a near 30% target share.”
