| News for Walker, Kenneth |

Kenneth Walker rushed 21 times for 69 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 8 loss to the Broncos, adding four catches for 15 yards. 2026-11-01 22:00:03 Emmett Johnson stole the show today with 128 yards and a touchdown on five receptions. Johnson blew by the Broncos’ defense for a 73-yard touchdown, which alone would have been enough for a breakout performance. The good news for Walker drafters is that Johnson only carried the ball once. Walker also matched him in targets at five apiece. Walker is now coming off his two worst rushing performances of the year in tandem with the Chiefs’ first two losses. It’s safe to assume the two are related. With a down-bad Jets defense on deck, we fully expected Walker to get back on track as a top-end RB1 in Week 9. |

Kenneth Walker rushed 14 times for 36 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 7 loss to the Seahawks, adding 21 yards on four receptions. 2026-10-26 00:00:02 Walker was held to below 4.9 yards per carry for only the second time this season while also failing to find the end zone for the second time through six games, with his longest rush going for a meager seven yards. Seattle had all the answers on the defensive side of the ball as they held the Chiefs to just 213 yards of total offense on just over 24 minutes in time of possession. One of fantasy’s breakout stars in the early going of the 2026 season will face another difficult matchup on the road against the Broncos in Week 8, where he remains an elite RB1. |

Ken Walker had 19 rushes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs’ Week 6 win against the Chargers, adding two catches for 11 yards. 2026-10-18 21:00:02 The Chiefs once again leaned hard on the rushing attack, running the ball 24 times while attempting 30 passes on the day. Walker breezed through a lifeless LA defense from start to finish. On many of his carries Walker was not touched until he was five or six yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Walker, who accounted for 19 of the team’s 24 rushing attempts, is perhaps the most important player in fantasy football through Week 6. He’ll be an RB1 in Week 7 against his former mates in Seattle. |

Kenneth Walker rushed 18 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ Week 3 win over the Dolphins, adding two receptions for three yards and a second score. 2026-09-27 18:00:03 The two-touchdown outing was Walker’s second in three games as a Chief after he had only one such effort for the Seahawks last season. His 20 touches were a rather remarkable total seeing as the Chiefs were limited to 49 plays with the Dolphins attempting to play keep away. He was not efficient, but Patrick Mahomes was. That’s the new reality for defenses facing the Chiefs, as this is no longer a stop Mahomes at all costs team. You now have to pick your poison, which is going to lead to many more blow-up efforts for KWIII. Perhaps that will include Week 4 in Vegas against the Raiders. |

Kenneth Walker rushed 24 times for 117 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 2 win over the Colts, adding 61 yards on six receptions. 2026-09-21 01:00:02 Walker has now notched 178 combined yards or more in each of his new team’s first two games to start the season. In addition to the gaudy yardage numbers, Walker saw 10 targets on 47 Patrick Mahomes pass attempts in the overtime victory, while accounting for all but four running back opportunities. His backfield opportunity share, touchdown equity, and pass game involvement make Walker a top-tier fantasy asset for those that invested a second-round pick in his services this offseason. The only micro-blemish on his record against the Colts was a sequence of carries at the end of the second quarter in which he was stuffed from the one-yard line on three straight plays, with the team eventually scoring on fourth down via a touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy. Walker remains a top-tier RB1 ahead of a road date with the much more forgiving Dolphins in Week 3. |
