Kenneth Walker Dominates in Week 4 Win

Sunday, October 4, 5:30 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker had a monster game in his team's 30-27 Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, recording 22 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old's big day against Las Vegas is a continuation of what's been an electric start to his first season in Kansas City. Across four games, Walker has recorded 537 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 87 carries. He's also been effective as a receiver out of the backfield, logging 12 catches for 84 yards and two scores on 19 targets. Walker battled injuries and a split backfield during his time as a member of the Seattle Seahawks over the previous four seasons. However, he appears to be the Chiefs' workhorse back. If Walker can stay healthy, he could be poised for a league-winning fantasy campaign in 2026.

Quinshon Judkins' Fantasy Floor Rising Due to Receiving Work

Thursday, October 8, 8:25 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins is an intriguing buy-low candidate in fantasy football leagues as the Browns head into a very favorable Week 5 matchup against the New York Jets. Judkins saw 17 carries for 53 yards and his first rushing touchdown of the season in last Thursday night's 27-24 win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, and he added a season-high six catches on seven targets for 43 yards as Cleveland's clear workhorse back. The second-year back out of Ohio State has not found a ton of running room, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on his 59 rushing attempts through four games, after he averaged 3.6 yards per rushing attempt in 14 starts as a rookie in 2025. The former second-rounder had a team-high six catches, though, and if he continues to be used more like that in the passing game in this Browns offense, Judkins will continue to have a higher floor as an RB2 for fantasy football managers. In a Week 5 matchup this Sunday on the road against the Jets, Judkins should be locked in as a starter in all leagues.
