Kenneth Walker III Could See Major Workload Increase in Kansas City

Monday, March 30, 11:49 AM

After being named the MVP of Super Bowl LX while playing for the Seattle Seahawks in February, running back Kenneth Walker III landed a lucrative three-year, $43 million contract in free agency from the Kansas City Chiefs in March. Even while losing carries to fellow Seahawks back Zach Charbonnet (knee) throughout 2025, Walker III still finished the season with 1,309 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 252 touches. In Kansas City, Walker III profiles as the clear RB1 and could surpass the 300-touch mark for the first time in his NFL career. Injuries remain a slight reason for fantasy managers to take caution with Walker III, as he missed 10 games over his first three seasons as a pro. The Chiefs' offense could also struggle early in 2026 as star quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) works his way back from the torn ACL that ended his 2025 campaign. Still, Walker III's value in dynasty formats is surging as he enters his first season in Kansas City.

Omarion Hampton News

Omarion Hampton Remains a High-End Dynasty Running Back Despite Injury-Marred Rookie Season

Thursday, April 2, 12:09 PM

The number 22 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton had his rookie season disrupted by ankle injuries that caused him to miss eight games. However, Hampton was productive when healthy, racking up 737 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 156 touches across nine contests. The Chargers made a big addition this offseason by bringing in former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as their new offensive coordinator. Under McDaniel, Miami ranked fourth in the NFL in yards per rush attempt, and he helped steward Dolphins running back De'Von Achane's emergence as a superstar. While Los Angeles signed former Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell in free agency, Hampton still profiles as the team's clear RB1 and possesses a three-down skill set. RotoBaller ranks Hampton as the eighth-best running back for dynasty formats coming off his encouraging rookie year.
