Yahoo Sports NFL on Kenneth Walker III

Walker leads league with 173 rush yards, 2 TDs; transforms Chiefs offense.

Walker, the reigning Super Bowl MVP and centerpiece of Kansas City's offseason retooling, immediately justified the investment with 173 rushing yards (league-leading in Week 1) on 23 carries and two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving). He accounted for 48.7% of the Chiefs' total yardage and had two 20+ yard runs in the first week—the Chiefs had only one such run all of 2025. By halftime, Kansas City had already surpassed its most rushing yards by a running back from under center in a full game since 2022.
