Kenneth Walker clearly fronts this backfield, but his ceiling remains heavily tied to passing game involvement after posting a meager 7.9-percent Target Share last season. Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is challenging the talented rusher to improve his pass protection and route running, areas that have historically limited his utility on third downs.

Walker is an elite creator on the ground with a 31.7-percent Juke Rate, but a purely run-centric workload will keep his baseline projection locked into the RB2 tier for fantasy managers. He is worth drafting for the massive TD equity, but with the presence of Emmett Johnson as a passing down option, Walker’s ceiling appears capped at low-end fantasy RB1 in Kansas City.
