Mahomes' ACL recovery limits goal-line rushing, affecting Walker's TD upside.

Patrick Mahomes is recovering from an ACL injury and is unlikely to see much goal-line rushing work, which affects Kenneth Walker's touchdown upside in Kansas City. JJ Zachariason notes that Mahomes wasn't a frequent goal-line rusher anyway, but the injury recovery context is relevant for understanding Walker's scoring ceiling.
