News: 3 days agoWalker rushed 18 times for 70 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for three yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.

Spin: Walker recorded a rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown in the same game for the second time in three outings as a member of the Chiefs. He capped Kansas City's opening drive with a 10-yard touchdown run just 2:06 into the game before adding a five-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Walker has racked up 76 touches while thriving in a workhorse role for his new team heading into a Week 4 road tilt in Vegas.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Walker signed with the Chiefs after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Seahawks. The reigning Super Bowl MVP and PFF's highest-graded running back from 2025, Walker is poised for feature-back duties in a good, Andy Reid-led offense. Having worked in a committee most of last season, Walker was limited to only five touchdowns and 11.3 fantasy points per game (both career lows), but he still generated 252 touches and a career-high 1,309 yards. He has yet to finish a season better than 18th in fantasy points (12th on a per-game basis) and has missed at least two games in three of four seasons in the league, but the 25-year-old's ability to contribute at a high level as a rusher and receiver is enough to position him as, at least, a fringe RB1 in 2026.
