Walker's KC role upgrade from Seattle timeshare offers RB2 floor with RB1 upside.
Kenneth Walker IIIRB
After spending four seasons sharing work with Zach Charbonnet in Seattle, Walker signed with Kansas City to lead a backfield that has lacked explosiveness. When Charbonnet was active, Walker handled only 34.8% of Seattle's running back carries in the red zone; he still produced 1,309 total yards on 252 touches before taking on a larger role in the postseason, totaling 417 yards and four touchdowns across three postseason games, including 161 yards on 29 touches to win Super Bowl LX MVP. Kansas City's investment points to more work on early downs, in the passing game and near the goal line. Walker is firmly on the RB2 radar and has legitimate RB1 upside in Eric Bieniemy's offense.
