From the article

With Patrick Mahomes (ACL) returning from major surgery and with only fifth-round rookie Emmett Johnson behind him, Walker is set for an elite workload. As the Seahawks bell cow during their Super Bowl run, Walker averaged 23.0 PPR points (RB3) on 18.9 expected points (RB5). Those are similar numbers to what the peak RBs under coach Andy Reid put up before the Chiefs ignored and whiffed on the position in recent years.

Walker inherits elite workload with Mahomes' ACL return; Reid's RB history bullish.

With Patrick Mahomes returning from ACL surgery and only fifth-round rookie Emmett Johnson behind him, Walker is set for an elite workload. As the Seahawks bell cow during their Super Bowl run, Walker averaged 23.0 PPR points (RB3) on 18.9 expected points (RB5), similar to peak RBs under Andy Reid like Jamaal Charles, LeSean McCoy, and Kareem Hunt.
