From the article

ECR has Kenneth Walker ranked RB12, 24th overall. I have Walker at RB7, 15th overall and prefer him over Chase Brown, Omarion Hampton, Saquon Barkley, and De'Von Achane. Walker averaged 16.4 touches per game over four seasons in Seattle. We should expect him to be closer to 20 touches a game for the Chiefs.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Walker's RB12 ranking undervalues his 20-touch upside in Andy Reid's offense with a big-money deal.

Walker is ranked RB12 (24th overall) in ECR, but the source ranks him RB7 (15th overall) and prefers him over Chase Brown, Omarion Hampton, Saquon Barkley, and De'Von Achane. Walker averaged 16.4 touches per game over four seasons in Seattle and should approach 20 touches per game with the Chiefs, who gave him a big-money free-agent deal with little else at RB. He thrived in a workhorse role during Seattle's 2025 playoffs after Zach Charbonnet's ACL tear, averaging 30 touches and 161 scrimmage yards over three playoff games with four postseason touchdowns. While the Chiefs won't feed him to that degree, Walker should benefit from an Andy Reid offense and arguably a better offensive line than he had in Seattle.
