Yahoo Sports NFL on Kenneth Walker III

Walker drew 6 targets on 46% route rate; Harmon sees him as more dangerous than Rice in screen game.

Walker is a dual-threat asset in the Chiefs' new offensive scheme. He drew six targets in Week 1 while running a route on 46% of Patrick Mahomes' dropbacks, making him 'more dangerous with the ball in his hands than the current version of Rashee Rice' in the screen game. The Chiefs' rebuilt defense held the Broncos to the worst offense in Week 1, which will 'keep Walker in game scripts that lean into the run.' Harmon projects the 2026 Chiefs as 'a defense-first team with a rock-fight offense built on the run game,' with Walker as 'the leading actor in that story.'
