Andy Hicks
Walker moves to the Chiefs with less than 900 carries in Seattle. Capable of elite numbers, but a risk with the Chiefs who have been conservative using the run game. An elite calber back should change that and Walker does have significant upside
Jeff Haseley
Walker gives dynasty managers an RB1 ceiling over the next two to three years as Kansas City's primary rushing weapon. While lingering injury risks and a limited receiving game keep him from reaching true bellcow PPR status, his situation in Kansas City makes him a player you can build your roster around.
Ryan Weisse
I was a huge fan of Walker coming out of college and loved the Seattle landing spot. But, all in all, his time there was pretty disappointing for fantasy. I was optimistic about the move to Kansas City but never dreamed it would go this well. After four games, Walker is on pace for 2000 yards and 16 touchdowns. Perhaps more importantly, he is also on pace for 50 receptions. The Chiefs are getting everything they can from their new back, and it just makes you wonder why Seattle insisted on keeping him in a timeshare. At just 25 years old, Walker is easily one of the best six RBs in fantasy for the next two or three seasons.

Walker runs for 177 yards, two TDs in win over Raiders
Kansas City Chiefs RB Ken Walker III ran 22 times for 177 yards and two touchdowns and also caught 1 pass for 2 yards on 1 target in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 20.6 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 30.4.
Kenneth Walker III 'show continues' in Week 3 at Miami
Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III is producing again in Sunday's Week 3 game at the Dolphins. The in-game highlight was posted with the caption "Kenneth Walker III show continues." Walker logged 30 touches for 178 yards in the Week 2 win, though Andy Reid said on Tuesday that RB Emmett Johnson's role is set to grow.
RB coach: 'hard to take' Walker out, Johnson to 'get more opportunities'
Chiefs RB coach DeMarco Murray said Thursday that RB Ken Walker III "likes the ball a lot and I like giving it to him," but acknowledged rookie RB Emmett Johnson will see more work heading into the Week 3 game against the Dolphins. "Obviously, I want Kenneth to get into a groove and, as you guys have seen these first two games, it's hard to kind of take him out," Murray said. "But Emmett's done a great job and he's still learning. He'll continue to get more opportunities. I've just got to pull the trigger and get No. 9 out of there and put No. 10 in there."
Reid: Walker 'wants a ball every play,' but Johnson's role set to grow
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said in his Monday video conference that RB Kenneth Walker III "wants that ball" and "he wants a ball every play... he's not asking to be relieved or anything else," but added that rookie RB Emmett Johnson will "continue to get more snaps" as the season progresses to take some load off Walker.
