Why It Matters: Walker was a revelation in his Chiefs debut, showing power, elusiveness, and speed in equal measure as he functioned as the centerpiece for Kansas City's offensive game plan. He got the vast majority of touches when the game was in doubt, only ceding significant snaps to Emmett Johnson once the Chiefs had salted things away. While you cannot expect this kind of production every week, Walker emphatically stated his case to be an RB1 that remains locked into your lineup regardless of matchup going forward.
