STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Walker's elite efficiency (27% TAC, 8.9% explosive rate) undermined by Chiefs' last-ranked rushing scheme.

Ian Hartitz ranks Kenneth Walker as RB8 for 2026, noting he ranks second in tackles avoided per carry (27%) and 11th in explosive rush rate (8.9%) since entering the NFL in 2022. However, Chiefs RBs during that same timeline rank last in both metrics, suggesting the offensive scheme limits his upside despite individual talent.
