Hayden Winks identifies Kenneth Walker as a must-draft RB target very close to Saquon Barkley in the second round with league-winner upside, drawing historical parallels to 2024 Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs as free agent RBs who landed and crushed. Key factors: (1) Best offensive line of his career behind Creed Humphrey; Seahawks ranked bottom four or five in OL talent, Chiefs are above average; (2) Chiefs offense scoring top 10-ish points with Mahomes healthy; (3) Eric Bieniemy back instead of Matt Nagy; (4) Andy Reid's historical RB success (Duce Staley, Brian Westbrook, Jamaal Charles, LeSean McCoy were top fantasy players); LeSean McCoy on pace for 1,800+ scrimmage yards in his last three seasons with Reid, and Winks sees LeSean McCoy traits in Walker's game; (5) No one behind Walker; Chiefs paid him significant money and made no other offensive moves; (6) Will get all touches and catch more passes than ever before. Walker had 46 catches in 2024; if he reaches 60 catches, he could be RB3; even north of 50 catches would be a massive win as a second-round pick, providing delta against CMC/Gibbs.PositiveRoleJul 19, 2026

Kenneth Walker is a top-15 RB in ADP across all formats after signing with Kansas City. Over the last two seasons, he averaged 18.7 PPG in 11 games when playing 60%+ of snaps and now has the backfield to himself after Seattle's Zack Charbanet usage. Kansas City's coaching staff plans to utilize him in the screen game as a pass-catcher. Dave Klug projects Walker will have the most touches by a Kansas City Chiefs running back since Jamal Charles, estimating around 300 touches, with Andy Reid scheming plays for him and Walker becoming the offensive focal point if he stays healthy. Klug positions Walker as the 2026 version of 2024 Josh Jacobs and Derrick Henry.
