Walker III projects as top-3 RB under Reid with best OL of his career.

Hayden Winks projects Kenneth Walker III to finish inside the top 3 at RB in 2026. Some of the best fantasy RB seasons of the past two decades have come under coach Andy Reid (Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy, Jamal Charles), and Reid didn't have Patrick Mahomes at QB during those elite seasons. Mahomes will be effective but won't be leaned on as much, and the Chiefs defense will flirt with top-10 numbers as they typically do—a great setup for fantasy points. Walker's interior OL is the best of his career. In the final six games of 2025 including playoffs, Walker averaged 19.4 half-PPR points despite tough matchups. Expect a career year in touchdowns and receptions.
