STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Walker is a transformative, top-tier fantasy RB with elite explosive run metrics.

Kenneth Walker is a transformative force for the Chiefs, evidenced by a 15.4% explosive run rate in Week 1, which ranked second in the NFL. He recorded 7.2 yards after contact per attempt and reached 21 mph on a long run, marking his most explosive performance since 2019. Hayden Winks and Matt Harmon view him as a top-tier fantasy asset, potentially a top-three running back in redraft formats.
