Kenneth Walker III Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 29th 2024, 9:52am EDT

Walker continues to hum along as a dependable RB2 in fantasy (RB20 last season) despite dealing with a myriad of injuries in 2023. Walker worked through a bruised shoulder, a strained oblique, a chest issue, and a tender calf last season. This didn't stop him from averaging 17.3 touches and 82 total yards in the 14 games that he played at least 41% of the snaps. Walker remains one of the best pure rushers in the game while sitting at fourth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 26th in explosive run rate last season (minimum 50 carries per Fantasy Points Data). Walker could be a three-down back in 2024. If that happens he could log the first RB1 finish in fantasy of his career.
