Last season, the Broncos allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs on a per-game basis (16.1)... gave up the second-fewest rushing yards per game (91.1) in 2025.
STACKED’s take
Walker faces Denver's elite run defense; temper Week 1 expectations despite high volume.
Kenneth Walker ranks 19th in Week 1 half-PPR flex rankings but faces a brutal matchup against Denver's elite run defense. The Broncos allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs on a per-game basis (16.1 PPR) and the second-fewest rushing yards per game (91.1) in 2025. Despite high volume expectations as Kansas City's lead back with Patrick Mahomes recovering from a torn ACL, Walker's explosiveness and workload could be limited by Denver's defensive scheme, which will focus on stopping the run and forcing Mahomes to beat them through the air. Fantasy managers expecting RB1 production risk modest output closer to low-end RB2 numbers in Week 1.
