Walker's current touch pace is unsustainable for the season.

Kenneth Walker is on an unsustainable pace for touches, currently projected for 476 on the season. While he has been a perfect addition to the Chiefs, the source expresses concern regarding the workload, noting his career high is 255 touches and that the team will likely rely more on backup Emmitt Johnson to manage the load.
