Kenneth Walker III News
Thursday, July 30, 7:37 PM
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III scored a long touchdown on a screen pass in training camp practice on Thursday and brings a new element to the team's screen game in 2026, according to Matt McMullen of Chiefs.com. Walker III is entering his first year in Kansas City after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Seattle Seahawks. Across 17 games with Seattle in 2025, the 25-year-old recorded 1,309 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 252 touches. Walker III's fantasy upside with the Seahawks was limited due to his shared workload with Seattle back Zach Charbonnet (knee). However, Kansas City appears set to deploy Walker III as a true three-down workhorse. His explosive ability in space could pair especially well with the Chiefs' screen game, which is operated by superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes and designed by Hall of Fame play-caller Andy Reid. Walker III carries high-end RB1 upside in redraft leagues entering 2026.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Monday, August 3, 5:18 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has his sights set on a career season in 2026 as he enters his first season as the starting running back. According to Senior NFL Analyst Tony Pauline, Tuten is chasing 1,500 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2026, which would be elite numbers for the 2025 fourth-round pick. With Travis Etienne now in New Orleans, Tuten is set to be the starter, with former Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in line for a share of the backfield as well. Tuten has been "consistently terrific" in training camp so far, and head coach Liam Coen said he wants Tuten to "go be special, that's who you are. And we're definitely expecting Tuten to have a big year for us." The second-year back is ranked RB24 in RotoBaller's rankings and is listed as a 2026 breakout candidate.
