- August 10 - #1 breakout

1. Kenneth Walker (SEA), ADP 37.8, RB15
Seattle has the 7th-easiest rushing schedule and a new wide-zone coordinator in Klint Kubiak. Walker also has some of the best pure tackle-breaking ability in the league, averaging over 3.0 yards after contact and forcing a missed tackle on nearly 20% of his carries last year. He still posted 15.9 PPG before injury in 2024 despite Seattle ranking bottom-10 in run block win rate. But that efficiency cratered when the blocking fell apart late, so with Kubiak’s zone scheme designed to maximize explosive runs, this becomes the perfect storm for a breakout season where efficiency snaps back, volume stays secure, and the schedule keeps him in favorable game scripts. Kenneth Walker is my #1 breakout, and he’s priced well below what that ceiling actually looks like.
