STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Walker's 26 touches, 191 yards, 2 TDs in debut justify Chiefs' free-agent investment.

Walker, signed as a free-agent workhorse for the Chiefs backfield, handled a team-high 26 touches and turned them into 191 yards and two scores in Kansas City's 31-10 rout of Denver. The source notes the Walker signing paid immediate dividends and took pressure off Mahomes as he shook off rust and eased himself back into game action. However, Walker will need to prove he can continue to handle a heavy workload as the season progresses.
