Another fun season-long @Xfinity best projection (FP/G) I go back and forth on these 2 players weekly I have Kenneth Walker ranked higher because I feel good about the potential bellcow role, but realize there is the injury stigma I WISH Chase Brown didn't cede work to PerinePositiveNewsAug 30, 2026
On Kenneth Walker & Emmett Johnson: Walker is a workhorse and will do more than he did in Seattle (constantly hear this) - one reason why he left per other reports It’s wheels up for Walker if he can stay healthy Emmett seems like RB2 based on PWK2-3 + this via @jessenewellPositiveNewsAug 29, 2026
Chiefs film review (a lot): Emmett Johnson was the 1st RB - they let him get some 3rd down pass plays and then rotated with Emari Demercado They put EJ on ice at the end of the 1st while Demercado played well into the 2nd half Feel decently good about EJ being the handcuff to Kenneth Walker Rashee, Worthy, Kelce, and Thornton are clearly the starting skill position players at WR/TE Cyrus Allen, Jaylen Royals, and Andrew Armstrong came on after the starters were done Allen was off the field a...PositiveNewsAug 29, 2026

The way this is worded about Emmett Johnson makes me feel like he's the RB2 if Kenneth Walker goes down with Demercado / Smith as 3rd down responsibilities Emmett Johnson is another late priority target for me right now via @ByNateTaylorPositiveUsageAug 23, 2026
Chiefs RB situation: Kenneth Walker played 2 snaps Emari Demarcado came in next but eventually went back and forth rotating with Emmett Johnson and they left at about the same time Demarcado got a ton of 3rd down work Brashard Smith rightfully came in last and closed out the game Emmett’s been getting 2nd reps more often lately behind K9 EJ feels like the handcuff - maybe a split for pass downs Way different usage pattern than PWK1PositiveNewsAug 21, 2026
On Kenneth Walker: We're pretty much hearing this daily - he's the workhorse Andy Reid RB was always money and he has the talent to do it - only question is health I have him at RB5 via @jessenewellNegativeUsageAug 21, 2026
Kenneth Walker seems poised for an expanded role in the pass game and red zone I have him higher than consensus - falling for the Andy Reid workhorse pass catcher role that printed but also worried about injuriesNegativeNewsAug 13, 2026
Kenneth Walker, workhorse RB via @jessenewell: Team is also likely to lean into the run more this season Take: Its hard to separate all of the RBs at the 1/2 turn in drafts. If we turned injuries off, Kenneth Walker would be higher RB4 for me (unfortunately injuries are on).PositiveUsageAug 11, 2026
The drumbeat from every direction is a decently shared backfield for the Seahawks Can Jadarian Price be as good as Kenneth Walker in his role? Does he even attain the KW workload when everyone is healthy? I don’t think we’re going to know before the season - I am mixing him inPositiveNewsAug 9, 2026
Patrick Mahomes on Kenneth Walker: Seems pretty happy to have him and certainly sounds like an every down RB for the team Via @ChiefsPositiveDepth ChartAug 9, 2026
We have the answer on why Kenneth Walker wasn’t an every down RB His own health and the staff likes Zach Charbonnet Walker would call his dad after games and be unhappy about his workload The belief is Walker wanted to feel more needed so he chose KC Take: KW prob didn’t get the contract offer he wanted but he probably picked a place where he was ensured he would get a big role. Solidifies that he’ll be used a lot for me. Via @MikeDugarPositiveUsageAug 6, 2026
Kenneth Walker updates from @AlbertBreer and Josh Simmons (OL): Breer called Kenneth Walker the best every down back the Chiefs have had in a while Simmons said it’s extremely scary to have Walker involved in the screen game Take: Continually hear signals of featured role and pass catching. That cluster of RBs is so tough, but I’m leaning RB7 for KW, which be bold but it’s splitting hairs.PositiveNewsAug 5, 2026

Chiefs RBs: Kenneth Walker majority of carries and can do everything they need The role sounds great we just need health from him (and Mahomes)PositiveUsageAug 3, 2026
Continually hearing good things about Kenneth Walker in the passing game We heard about the screen game coming back to the playbook Now I’m hearing they used him on a Texas route in the red zone for a TD Excited for the potential of his new role
