Guys not sure if this post is okay to submit…but I will so - tough!
For the last 5-6 years my fantasy football league has been won buy the same person. He always picks a player who no one has heard of who just goes off! He picked Mahomes his first year, had J Taylor last year and MacCaffrey too, before he got injured.
So thoughts on Walker going off? Maybe worth a 3rd round pick? He’s fast like a Chris Johnson fast.
Thoughts please. Also open to any suggestions.

I could see him having a decent year. He didn’t get used in the passing game much at all in college and that is a huge part of fantasy is receptions and receiving yards. Something to consider as well.
The Hawks still have Chris Carson as well. So it’ll be a 2 back system for sure.
Pick Goff, if you don’t have a top 5 QB. He may not be as good as Mahommes, but he will have similar numbers with this offense.
How much do you trust Swift’s health? If you trust Swift to stay healthy…PICK HIM!
Hoch will be a really nice TE this year too. The other guys may not put up as good a numbers, because of distribution (lots of targets). I think Swift is lined up to have a HUGE year. Teams will try to pressure Goff. Swift, Hoch, and St Brown will all thrive.
I’ll be watching them try to create ways to get Williams in the open field too, maybe some plays that set up downfield blocks to create space and try to get him in a foot race (he will win every time).
Not entirely sure what to expect of Lions, but I think lions will be among league leaders in YACs, as a team.
I would definitely rather have Walker with a low pick the swift with a high one. Swift has to show he can stay healthy. Carson (lately) and Penny (always) have not.
My dynasty rookie draft is this Sunday and Walker is the 2nd ranked RB on my board, and #5 overall player.
I personally have Penny sitting on my squad at the moment, and hope Walker falls to my pick at 6… although I highly doubt that happens considering it’s such a weak RB class this year.
As for Carson, there’s been a lot of talk of him not even making the roster out of training camp this year. His fumble issues and neck injury probably spells the end of his time in Seattle, in my opinion. And with Penny coming back from injury and absolutely going off down the stretch last year, I can see a solid 1-2 punch with him and Walker.
Throw in the fact that Lock probably shouldn’t be trusted, and Carroll more than likely realizing that, Seattle should be a run heavy squad this year.
My rule is that if you’re in a league with a bunch of Lions fans, then you let them reach for Lions players and snag the falling talent. But I think it’s a mistake to avoid Lions players as a rule. CJ was a league winner some years. And a number of Lions have outperformed their adp’s, like Swift, Tate, Jones, Riddick (ppr), Stafford and St. Brown were/are guys you wouldn’t likely draft as your #1, but could have gotten you borderline #1 production in later rounds.
I don’t think he’s a sleeper after they didn’t bring back Sony. I think Akers is the #1 back for the Rams and he will go much earlier than expected in most leagues.
I used to laugh so hard when he’d do shit like that. Dude looks like he’s too small to even be on the field with those monsters…next thing you know, those monsters are calling their mammas for comfort because they just got humiliated on national television.
