Fantasy Football Player Notes

What a debut for Kenneth Walker. 191 total yards and two scores, while breaking off a 60-yard touchdown run, was about as good as it gets. This was exactly what we were hoping for when he signed with the Chiefs this offseason. Unfortunately, we also hoped we'd see the potent Chiefs offense of past years, and that didn't come to fruition. Walker is this entire offense and he looks up to the task. This week he goes against the Colts, who just allowed Derrick Henry to rumble for 144 yards and three scores. Sit back and enjoy the Kenneth Walker Show this week.

If you are new to FantasyPros, firstly, welcome. Secondly, my name is Ellis, and I am writing the player outlooks for this season. Each week I write outlooks for the top 12 receivers in the expert consensus rankings. I say this, because there is no way I have Rashee Rice in my top 12 this week. Even though the Broncos' defense has elite ability, they did not showcase it on Monday Night against the Chiefs. Even then, Patrick Mahomes and this passing offense sputtered. Thankfully, Rice found the end zone on one of his two receptions to finish with 19 yards and a score. The good news is that they play the Colts this week, who allowed Zay Flowers to have 150 yards and a touchdown before leaving with a hamstring injury. Rice could take advantage of this offense, but with a new reliance on Kenneth Walker and the ground game, I believe he is closer to WR24 than the top 12.
