More on Walker and the RB board
He's a depth option, not a priority pick: #8 overall, #3 at his position. Draft late or stream based on matchups.
His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 10.5 (roughly round 1 in a 12-team league). We rank him #4 in 1QB Full-PPR drafts, so he is a value at that price.
We project 24.6 PPR points per game across an expected 9 games — approximately 221 points for the season. His typical game last season landed between 21.3 and 30.9 (middle 50% of results), and that puts him #4 in projected scoring (#4 on the 1QB draft board once positional value is applied).
He delivered at least 75% of his average in 83% of games, with a floor of 9.7 and a ceiling of 34.1 fantasy points. He boomed (125%+ of average) in 33% of games and busted (under half his average) in 17%.
