From the article

Walker's career high for touches in a season as a Seahawk was a modest 255 during his rookie campaign. Today, through six games, he is on pace for 391 touches, and there is little evidence the Chiefs plan to alter the trend, nor can they afford to do so.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Walker on pace for 391 touches; validates trusting RB workload increases.

Kenneth Walker III is on pace for 391 touches through six games with the Chiefs, up from a career high of 255 touches in his rookie season with the Seahawks. Eric Karabell initially scoffed at the possibility of Walker approaching 400 touches given his injury history (missed games in three of his four previous seasons), but there is little evidence the Chiefs plan to alter the trend, nor can they afford to do so. This validates trusting potential workload increases for running backs in future seasons.
