Yahoo Sports NFL on Kenneth Walker III

Walker's league-leading rushing stats force defenses to respect the run, enabling play-action success.

Walker is the league's leading rusher in yards and attempts through two games; the Chiefs' commitment to the run game (220 rushing yards in Week 1) has forced defenses to respect the ground attack, creating play-action opportunities for Mahomes. Mahomes noted the Colts specifically put assets into stopping the run in Week 2, opening up explosive passing plays over the top.
