Awkward time to ask this, but hey, did you download the trail map?

Yeah, no, I don't need to.

I don't understand, you're trusting your signal out here?

One bad pick in your fantasy draft can just sink your entire season. Today, Joey Wright and I are going to talk about some of the worst picks that you can make right now in fantasy football. We're not talking about fringe roster players. We are talking about guys who are getting drafted early in fantasy drafts that your league mates are taking with confidence. Joey talked to me about the first guy today that you want to talk about that you think drafters might want to express some caution when looking at in fantasy drafts.

I'm going to preface this with saying the hate mail is coming in and we're happy to read it and respond to it so leave us your comments because they're going to be a plenty this week. I am not, if you've been listening to the season, I'm not in on Ken Walker. I don't like where people are taking him.
I think he has a huge chance of busting this year.
Earlier this off season, I pointed out no one having more than 250 total touches. That's rushes and receptions combined and an Andy Reed led offense in the last five years. And that's Ken Walker's max workload in Seattle, was what kind of what Reed has been using his running backs as. This March when Walker's ADP was 14th overall at the running back position, 25th overall period, it all pointed to where I thought the ceiling would be for Walker in this Chiefs run game. Since March, we've only seen Walker rise up draft boards, where you're able to once get him around the third round, you're now having to go early, mid to mid second round on him. His value is continuing to rise, and I just don't think the workload is going to be there to sustain that. And there's a couple of reasons why I think it's gone up so much. We've had Rashid Rice's legal situation, leaving a lot of question marks for people where they think, oh, this Chiefs run game is going to kind of supplant that. Well, I think the Rashid Rice thing is kind of resolving itself at this point. There's not so much of a concern of what his workload is going to look like. And there was no complete competition earlier this off season. Well, the Chiefs went out and got Nebraska's Emma Johnson, you know, not the highest draft capital, but running back to people do seem to be a little bit in on. And I think the Chiefs did get a bargain on them. Maybe I'm a little too set in other ways, but I've seen the same question marks as I did earlier in the season. A player who's never finished higher than RB17 in his NFL career on a new team, coming off a deep playoff run is just being valued and drafted way too high for me.
