Kenneth Walker III One of Dynasty's Biggest Risers for 2026
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III has had a storybook run over the past three-plus months, signing a three-year, $43 million deal shortly after earning Super Bowl MVP honors, and those accomplishments have not been ignored by dynasty managers. Walker's consensus dynasty ranking has risen more than ten spots since January, and he lands at RB10 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings. After sharing a Seattle backfield with 2023 second-round pick Zach Charbonnet for the past three seasons, Walker has a chance to handle a true bellcow role in a Kansas City offense looking to rebound from a disappointing 2025 season, and capable of doing so if two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes can return to form after a season-ending ACL injury. The Chiefs spent fifth-round draft capital on pass-catching running back Emmett Johnson, but aside from Walker, no back on the roster has ever cracked 60 carries in a season. While he has yet to top the RB16 finish from his 2022 rookie campaign, at only 25 years old, Walker is one of the easiest calls for a true fantasy breakout in 2025, and the 29-touch, 161-yard performance he last put forth in a Super Bowl-winning effort could become a repeatable statline in Andy Reid's offense.
