Kenneth Walker III News
Thursday, June 18, 8:31 AM
After being named the MVP of Super Bowl LX in February, running back Kenneth Walker III signed a three-year, $43 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in March. The 25-year-old has been a productive player over the past four years as a member of the Seattle Seahawks, averaging 1,140 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns per season. However, he's never recorded more than 255 touches in a season and had his 2025 workload with the Seahawks impacted by the presence of Seattle back Zach Charbonnet (knee). In Kansas City, Walker III profiles as the clear number one back and should see all the touches he can handle. As long as he can stay healthy, Walker III may currently be undervalued in redraft formats as a lower-end RB1.

De'Von Achane News
Friday, June 26, 12:46 PM
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) put together an all-world season in 2025, recording 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 305 touches across 16 games. Even with the rest of the Miami offense crumbling around him, Achane led the NFL in yards per carry (5.7) and recorded 67 catches for 488 yards and four touchdowns on 85 targets. The Dolphins overhauled their coaching staff, quarterback room, and wide receiver room over the offseason, leading to speculation that Achane might have been on the trade block. Instead, Miami inked Achane to a four-year contract extension, cementing him as one of the team's building blocks as it enters a new era. The 24-year-old is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Even with the uncertain offensive environment around him in Miami, Achane should be viewed as an elite running back option in dynasty formats.
