Chiefs "Believe" Kenneth Walker Will Return in Week 11

Sunday, November 15, 5:57 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs "believe" that running back Kenneth Walker (groin) will return for next Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport reiterated that Walker's groin injury is minor, and although he has already been ruled out for Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, he's trending toward missing just the one game. All things considered, that's good news for the Chiefs, who have benefitted from their offseason decision to give Walker a $43.05 million contract last offseason. So far this year, the reigning Super Bowl MVP ranks as the overall RB2 in PPR leagues with 872 rushing yards, 26 catches, 172 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. Emmett Johnson will lead the Chiefs' backfield as a mid-to-high fantasy RB2 this week, and Walker should get back into the high-end RB1 range if he does end up playing in Week 11.

Ashton Jeanty a Risky Low-End RB2 in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 12:56 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty is having a challenging season, and he won't get any relief in Week 10 against a stingy Seattle Seahawks defense. The 22-year-old continues to mix short-pass duties with the run game, but has disappointed fantasy managers overall as his efficiency declines and he loses some of his workload to Mike Washington Jr. In Week 9, Jeanty had six carries for 25 yards and caught five of seven targets for negative ground in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He and the Raiders now face Seattle's top-ranked defense that has allowed just 21.7 yards per running back per game through Week 9. Jeanty's contributions to the passing game will also be stymied, especially since Fernando Mendoza is making his first career start. Not to mention that Mendoza is younger than Kirk Cousins and may opt to run the ball himself. Jeanty is a risky low-end RB2 for a difficult Week 10 matchup.
