From the article

I went with Mahomes as my QB1 and also have newly-signed Chiefs RB Walker on my roster. This negatively correlates in fantasy because if Walker is getting points, that will usually mean Mahomes isn't getting points. But it also means I have a piece in the Kansas City passing and run games.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mahomes paired with Walker provides dual-game exposure to a potentially elite Chiefs offense.

The source selected Mahomes as QB1 and paired him with Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III. While this creates negative correlation in fantasy (if Walker scores, Mahomes typically doesn't), the source views it as a strategic advantage: having pieces in both the Chiefs' passing and run games means if Kansas City bounces back as a top-scoring offense in 2026, the roster captures a very big portion of that pie.
