STACKED’s take
Walker set for strong outing vs. Denver's 28th-ranked run defense; has 173 yards in prior matchup
Walker is positioned for a strong performance against Denver's weak run defense. The Broncos rank 28th in rushing yards allowed per game (133.3) and surrender 4.5+ yards per carry. Walker has historically dominated Denver: 173 yards on 24 carries in Week 1 of this season (31-10 win) and 103 yards in Week 1 of 2024 (26-20 victory). Despite Kansas City's recent loss to Seattle where Walker was held to 36 yards, the source emphasizes that Denver's vulnerability to elite rushers—evidenced by struggles against Jacksonville's Bhayshul Tuten, the Rams' Kyren Williams, the Chargers' Omarian Hampton and Kimani Vidal, and the 49ers' Christian McCaffrey and Debo Samuel—makes this matchup favorable. Even if Denver keys in on Walker, the source expects it won't matter given the Broncos' structural run-defense weakness.
