Stat Nerd Thursday: McCaffrey trade value, Chiefs WRs & Ken Walker hype

Matt Harmon is joined by Dalton Del Don for another episode of Stat Nerd Thursday. The guys spend a long time batting around ideas of why offense is down across the league and how it could end up changing what we think we know about fantasy football before diving into stats about Seattle Seahawks RB Ken Walker, the San Francisco 49ers target share, and the Kansas City Chiefs passing game.

They also kick off the show with a roundup of news, including some injury concerns for Amon-Ra St. Brown, D’Andre Swift and Jaylen Waddle, and provide a little peek into their own week 7 rankings.
