STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Walker projected to outscore Mahomes in Week 1 due to Mahomes' ACL recovery.

The source projects Kenneth Walker will outscore Patrick Mahomes in Week 1. Walker, acquired as a top free agent, is positioned to benefit from Kansas City's emphasis on the run game given Mahomes' return from a torn ACL and LCL suffered in December and likely not yet 100%. The Broncos' pass defense ranked among the NFL's best in 2025 but were more vulnerable against the run, creating conditions for a big week for Walker.
