Kenneth Walker Poised for Expanded Receiving Role in 2026

After recording only 31 receptions over 17 games last season, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker is expected to see increased involvement in the passing game. Beat writer Jesse Newell reports that Walker figures to be heavily utilized in the team's screen game, which was largely dormant during the previous campaign. The coaching staff is looking to unlock more receiving production from Walker as the offense evolves for the upcoming season.
