Must-draft second-rounder with 60-catch upside could rival elite RBs.
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.

Kenneth Walker landed with the Chiefs, described as a bell-cow back in an ideal situation.

Walker ranked RB 15 due to injury durability concerns; source avoids him as RB1/RB2.
