With Patrick Mahomes rehabbing a knee injury, the Chiefs are expected to lean on Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker and a strong offensive line to lead the offense early in the season. Walker warrants low-end RB1 treatment, as the team intends to maintain a productive run game even if they plan to increase passing volume later in the year.
Kansas City may be more likely to install Emmett Johnson as a breather back to Walker during training camp to accommodate a run-heavy approach. With the Chiefs doing their best Seahawks impression to start the year, Johnson could be Kansas City’s Charbonnet. Johnson is a top value being drafted mid-to-late Round 2 in dynasty rookie drafts.
