Kenneth Walker Stymied in Homecoming

Sunday, October 25, 9:59 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker rushed 14 times for 36 yards and caught four of five targets for 21 yards in his team's 20-3 loss to the hosting Seattle Seahawks. Walker was shut down by his former team in this one. Week 7 marked the first time the fifth-year pro failed to rush for 100 yards or score a touchdown in 2026, as Kansas City's passing game stalled. Fortunately for fantasy managers, he salvaged his day with some receiving production, but it was an all-around dud for the league's leading rusher heading into the weekend. With that subpar outing behind him, Walker can turn his sights on a much more beatable Denver Broncos run defense in Week 8. Including Sunday's win over Arizona, Denver's D ranks in the bottom five in rushing yards per game (133.3), setting up an excellent rebound opportunity for the Tennessee native.

Chase Brown Fails to Score TD in Win vs. Ravens

Sunday, October 25, 12:57 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 11 carries for 39 yards in a 35-13 win against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. Brown is splitting his workload with fellow back Samaje Perine, who had four carries for 16 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. The Ravens' potent defense pushed quarterback Joe Burrow to air the ball out in Week 7, which further cut into Brown's workload. Cincinnati faces a weak Tennessee Titans defense its next time out, which could boost Brown's production. However, his light workload is a warning that fantasy managers may need to look elsewhere, especially after he was a bust in Week 7.
