FantasyPros Articles on Kenneth Walker III
From the article
Walker had a disappointing season in 2025 from a fantasy standpoint as the RB28 in fantasy points per game...Last year, Walker ranked second in explosive run rate, first in missed tackle rate, ninth in yards per route run, and 12th in first downs per route run. He was a per-touch efficiency marvel...Walker should be an explosive RB1 in 2026.
STACKED’s take
Walker's elite efficiency and Kansas City opportunity project him as explosive RB1 after Seattle underutilized him.
Walker arrives in Kansas City as the Chiefs' new lead back after a disappointing RB28 finish in 2025 with Seattle, where he split passing game usage with Zach Charbonnet and was limited in the red zone (34.8% of RB red zone rushing work versus Charbonnet's 51 carries). The source projects Walker as an explosive RB1 in 2026, citing his elite per-touch efficiency: ranked 2nd in explosive run rate, 1st in missed tackle rate, 9th in yards per route run, and 12th in first downs per route run in 2025. With a lucrative contract and a fresh start, the source expects Walker to receive high usage without being a true bellcow, which suits his injury history.
