Broncos' regressed run defense and historic missed tackle rate favor Walker's explosive upside.

Walker has proven to be one of the most explosive playmakers in the NFL this season. The Broncos' defense, which ranked Top 5 in run defense metrics in 2024-2025, has regressed significantly in 2026, allowing the fifth-most yards and nearly 4.6 yards per carry. Denver posted a 30-percent missed tackle rate in their Week 1 loss to Kansas City, allowing the most yards on missed tackles in NFL history and the third-most missed tackles ever recorded in a game with 28, creating a favorable matchup for Walker's explosive playmaking.
