Kenneth Walker Signs With Chiefs to Lead Backfield

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Kenneth Walker to lead their rushing attack, aiming to revitalize a ground game that has struggled in recent seasons. Walker, who was a fantasy RB12 in 2024, finished his 2025 campaign with the Seahawks averaging 128.5 scrimmage yards over his final six games. The Chiefs view him as a difference-making lead back to support the offense while Patrick Mahomes recovers from an ACL tear. He was also previously identified as a top 2026 free agent target.
