Kenneth Walker III mentoring Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh

Kenneth Walker III has reportedly been mentoring rookie running backs Zach Charbonnet and Kenny McIntosh throughout OTAs.

Fantasy Impact

Walker had tremendous praise for Rashaad Penny and what he was able to do as a mentor to Walker this time last year. The second year running back is reportedly doing the same to the pair of running backs the Seahawks drafted this year. The Seattle backfield remains a tricky situation in regards to what the roles of Walker and Charbonnet will be, and it wouldn’t be shocking if McIntosh carves out a role in the passing game as well.

Kyren Williams sharing reps with Cam Akers in OTAs

Kyren Williams is reportedly getting an extended look in OTAs, sharing the reps with Cam Akers.

Fantasy Impact

It was Akers who worked as the clear workhorse to end last season in the Rams backfield, so this comes as a slight surprise. It is still early though. It will be more noteworthy if Williams is still seeing first-team reps once training camp rolls around.

CeeDee Lamb not distracted by contract talks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb was candid about his ongoing contract situation, saying that the money is on his mind, but that it doesn’t distract him and that he’s focused on performing and letting “everything else handle itself.”

Fantasy Impact

Lamb said that, while he is worried about the money, it’s not what’s on his mind at all times. Lamb said his focus is on the field and that the contract will work itself out. After a 1,359-yard season, Lamb seems due for a large extension in Dallas after taking over the role as the team’s WR1. Lamb enters Year 4 with his fifth-year option already exercised, and if he has another finish as a top wide receiver, his worth will only go up. Lamb has only improved every season from a fantasy production perspective.
