According to the experts at ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker is the second-best fantasy running back heading into Week 6 of the 2026 season.
Walker will aim to keep his strong momentum going on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers and reclaim the league's leading rusher spot from running back Bijan Robinson.
For fantasy managers with Walker on their bench, here are his predicted stats against the Chargers on Sunday.
RB Kenneth Walker predicted stats vs. Chargers in Week 6
The Chargers' defense will arguably pose the first real threat to the reigning Super Bowl MVP this season. Los Angeles' run defense leads the league in rushing yards allowed, with just over two yards per carry, and ranks seventh overall in total rushing yards allowed.
Still, Walker has clearly established himself
as one of the league's best running backs and needs just 50 rushing yards to overtake running back Bijan Robinson as the NFL's leading rusher. Despite the Chargers' league-leading defense, I think the former Michigan State Spartan has another great performance in store this week.
Expect at least 100 yards and a touchdown from Walker on Sunday.
