Fantasy Football dynasty ranking no. 1: Kenneth Walker RB – Seattle Seahawks

Kenneth Walker is the perfect back, falling into the perfect situation. The 5’9″, 211-pound bowling ball possesses sprinters’ speed and has a nose for the end zone as well as underrated receiving chops.

The perfect situation is Seattle. Pete Carroll loves nothing more than to run, run, and run some more. That was with Russel Wilson at quarterback. Now that Drew Lock is the potential starter, expect even more running.

So who is going to help Walker shoulder the possible 300+ carries in 2022? We likely can rule Chris Carson out, as his neck injury probably has ended his career.

Rashaad Penny? Maybe. Oh, wait, Penny just pulled a hamstring as I wrote this.

My point is, Walker is positioned to inherit an elite-level workload. As I stated at the beginning of this list, an elite workload, even on a bad team is extremely valuable.

A Pete Carroll team will be competitive, so the offense won’t even be as bad as a Drew Lock offense should be.

Kenneth Walker is the clear top dog for wise dynasty owners in 2022.

So there you go sports fans. One man’s stab at the top ten dynasty rookies. Will I be wrong? Maybe? Will I hit on a few, almost certainly, but the point of lists like this, much like fantasy is to have fun. I did!
