Kenneth Walker is the source's number one running back out of the second tier. The Chiefs have not had a 1,000-yard rusher while Mahomes has been starting QB; they signed Walker to a $43 million contract, signaling they acknowledge their running game stinks and want to fix it. With Eric Biennemi returning as OC (never finished worse than sixth in total points/yards and never had a RB as good as Walker), Walker has two paths to top-tier finish: pure volume (near lock for 300+ touches if anything goes wrong with Mahomes/Kelsey/Rice) or offensive dominance if everything gels. Walker's receiving metrics were solid (9+ yards per reception, 19% target per route rate), and he's a big-game player (Super Bowl MVP) who wants the rock. Ranked #1 second-round RB by source ahead of Chase Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Devon Achane.PositiveDepth ChartJun 12, 2026
The Seahawks let Kenneth Walker go in free agency and drafted Jadarian Price in the first round, signaling a shift away from Walker in the backfield.
