Fantasy Football Values: Kenneth Walker III & Kyler Murray (2024)

Thankfully, the 2024 fantasy football season is just around the corner. Each year, fantasy players want to construct their team with a proper mix of good-value players and upside sleepers while avoiding players with high bust potential.

Fantasy Football ADP Values

Kenneth Walker III (SEA): ADP 45.3 | RB17

Many pushed Walker down in their 2022 fantasy rankings after the Seahawks used a second-round pick on Zach Charbonnet. However, the former Michigan State star was a productive fantasy running back, ending last season as the RB19, averaging 12.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He posted a higher fantasy points per game average than D’Andre Swift and Tony Pollard. Unfortunately, the team’s offensive line struggled last year. Thankfully, the Seahawks improved the unit in the offseason, adding Laken Tomlinson and Connor Williams.

Walker is one of the more dangerous running backs in the NFL. He had the highest missed forced tackle per attempt (31%) among running backs with at least 150 rushing attempts in 2023. More importantly, he is the clear-cut lead back in Seattle. The former Michigan State star accounted for 65% of the backfield’s rushing attempts, 64.5% of the yards, 90% of the touchdowns, and 65.6% of the fantasy points last season. Reportedly, Walker has taken control of the backfield, pushing Charbonnet into a handcuff-only role.

Kyler Murray (ARI): ADP 66.3 | QB8

The fantasy football community is starting to warm up to Murray as a top-six quarterback. Yet, his ADP has him getting drafted behind Anthony Anthony Richardson and Joe Burrow. Unfortunately, many have forgotten how dominant the former Oklahoma star was before suffering a torn ACL. He was a top-six quarterback his first two years in the NFL and the QB10 in 2021, averaging 21.5 or more fantasy points per game in two of those three seasons. Furthermore, the veteran was the QB7 in 2022 on a points-per-game basis.

More importantly, Murray was a potential league winner off the waiver wire at the end of last year. The former Oklahoma star was the QB10 from when he made his season debut in Week 10 through Week 17, averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game. Murray averaged 30.5 rushing yards per game in 2023. However, he should be better this season after being more than a year removed from the torn ACL. Murray will have a top-six finish in 2024 with Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride at his disposal.
