A difficult matchup on paper, but the Chiefs understand that Walker is the key to their success.

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

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.

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.

I love him, but for dynasty purposes we could be seeing his career year play out right now. If that's true I'll take the relative youth of Jeanty and Love, whose career season should still lie ahead.

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."
