From the article

The presence of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III should help with that. Regardless, the return is wrapped with another matchup against Denver – which not only brings one of the NFL's best defenses and a relentless pass rush but also its own quarterback, Bo Nix, coming off two surgeries for a fractured ankle.

Walker III's arrival should decrease Mahomes' rushing load and extend his career longevity.

Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III's presence in the Chiefs backfield should reduce Mahomes' rushing workload; Mahomes ran 422 yards on 64 rushes last season but won't need to run as much with Walker III handling the ground game.
