    Chiefs' Kenneth Walker: Another 100-yard effort

    Walker ripped off 128 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries and added two catches (on three targets) for 11 yards during Sunday's 22-6 win against the Chargers.Following the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Walker continued his early-season momentum with his new team, surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the fourth time in five games in a different uniform than the Seahawks. He now boasts 133.0 rushing yards per game, which prorated over a 17-game slate (2,261) would easily go past Eric Dickerson's NFL record 2,105 from the 1984 campaign and also mark the 10th 2,000-yard season in the history of the league. Walker's next chance to strike occurs next Sunday when he visits his former teammates in Seattle.

    Chiefs' Kenneth Walker: Runs for 177 and two TDs in win

    Walker rushed 22 times for 177 yards and two touchdowns while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Raiders.Walker's two touchdowns came just 19 seconds apart in the fourth quarter, as he gave Kansas City the lead with a two-yard touchdown run and added a 22-yard touchdown run to create some breathing room after the Raiders fumbled the ensuing kickoff. The free-agent addition has paid immediate dividends for his new team, racking up 537 rushing yards and six total touchdowns through four games with the Kansas City Chiefs. Walker has handled heavy workloads early in the season and will have a chance to rest up during a Week 5 bye before the 4-0 Chiefs host the Chargers in Week 6.

    Chiefs' Kenneth Walker: Thrives with massive workload

    Walker rushed 24 times for 117 yards and brought in six of 10 targets for 61 yards in the Kansas City Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.Walker had a tall order in front of him in terms of matching his spectacular Chiefs debut against the Broncos on Monday night, but the offseason addition was able to make up for a lower rushing total by putting together a stellar showing as a receiver that included a clutch 22-yard reception on Kansas City's game-winning drive. Walker wasn't shabby on the ground by any stretch, either, and he's quickly amassed 290 rushing yards and his 60-yard touchdown in Week 1 as a runner while also offering plenty of value as a pass catcher with a 9-79-1 line on 16 targets. Walker's workhorse usage underscores how integral he is to the team's offensive plans, making him an elite option in all formats for a Week 3 road matchup against a highly beatable Dolphins defense next Sunday.

    Chiefs' Kenneth Walker: Career-high rushing total in Chiefs debut

    Walker rushed 23 times for 173 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of six targets for 18 yards and another score in the Kansas City Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.Walker paid immediate dividends in his Chiefs regular-season debut, finding the end zone via a fourth-down, 60-yard run around left end early in the third quarter before adding a nifty two-yard scoring grab on a shovel pass from Patrick Mahomes within the first minute of the final period. Walker also rattled off productive gains on the ground throughout, as he still averaged 5.1 yards per carry on the 22 other rush attempts he logged outside of his explosive scoring scamper. Walker will have a tall order trying to improve on Monday night's career-best rushing yardage tally, but a Week 2 home matchup Sunday night against a Colts defense that was gashed repeatedly by the Ravens' Derrick Henry in Week 1 affords Kansas City's new star back an exceedingly bright outlook.
