From the episode
Kenneth Walker...he's the player I've changed my mind most on...The chiefs just like, it was obvious from the, I don't care about the stats. All you had to do was watch the game from the first moment. Andy Reed was like, Oh, you all think what I have a reputation for you think? You think I just throw, you think I never really take advantage of my running backs. Watch this. Cause it was immediate handoff, handoff, handoff screen, handoff, handoff, handoff screen.
STACKED’s take
Walker dominated Week 1 as RB1; now a top-4 pick after controlling Chiefs offense.
The source dramatically upgraded Walker after Week 1, calling him the player he's changed his mind most on. Walker was ranked 11-13 preseason but dominated the Chiefs offense in Week 1 against Denver. Andy Reid immediately established a run-heavy approach: handoff, handoff, handoff, screen, handoff, handoff, handoff, screen. Patrick Mahomes started 2-for-12 for 14 yards while Walker controlled the game. The source notes even the most optimistic preseason assessments (ranking Walker at 9 overall) couldn't have predicted this level of offensive dominance. Walker broke tackles and converted a crucial fourth-and-one run that Kareem Hunt or Isaiah Pacheco would not have converted. The source believes Walker is now a first-round pick (likely 3-4 overall) and would take him over Derrick Henry. The source acknowledges Walker's injury history but refuses to trade him away despite the actuarial risk.
