2022 Draft Coverage: Kenneth Walker III

Dynasty / By /

After making the mistake of signing with Wake Forest, Kenneth Walker III was relegated to a committee backfield his first two collegiate seasons. Though he produced well, the coaching and supporting cast held him back. However, he chose to transfer to the BIG10 and joined Mel Tucker’s Spartans before this past season. As a junior this past season, he exploded for 1636 yards on 263 carries for a 6.2 YPC average. He averaged a reception per game and scored 19 TDs and proceeded to win the Walter Camp Player of the Year and Doak Walker (nation’s top running back) awards, in addition to receiving first-team Associated Press All-American and Big Ten Running Back of the Year honors.

Dynasty Rookie Pick Hit Rates in FFPC: Part 2

Rookie / By /

Last summer I wrote about my historic FFPC dynasty rookie hit rates, and how those later picks in the third and fourth rounds typically hold at least a couple of gems. If you can find the space on the limited roster in this format, those later picks are worth scrapping for. I spend them just as easily. I never let a third-round pick get in the way of making a bigger deal that I like. Often I will add a third to my offer just to further entice my potential partner.

Dynasty / By /

The NFL Combine has long marked the convergence of a new season for football fans. Over 300 prospects (though not all attend) are invited each offseason to showcase their athletic prowess in front of representatives from all 32 NFL teams. A single slip-up or lapse of focus can cost a young kid millions of dollars in the draft. Alternatively, a strong performance can raise a player’s stock. As real-life NFL scouts adjust their rankings, the dynasty market follows suit. The 2022 NFL Draft class has been perennially undervalued in the dynasty community. Managers are now rushing to adjust after an impressive all-around combine from virtually every position. In this edition of the Dynasty Market Sweep, we will be analyzing the post-combine market adjustments for the upcoming 2022 rookie class.

Dynasty, Rookie / By /

There is no time when a draft pick is more valuable than when it is on the clock in your rookie draft.

Cheetah. The name itself oozes acceleration. I once asked my four-year-old daughter who was the fastest animal in the world was. She rolled her eyes at me and without missing a beat goes, “Cheetah. Duh.” The golden pelt with the black dots is as distinct as the penguin and their tuxedo. What is the impact
