Kenneth Walker III rediscovers early-season dominance with three TDs

Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III carried 18 times for 102 yards and a touchdown Week 9 against the New York Jets. He also caught all four of his targets for 41 yards and two more scores.

Why It Matters: Walker’s first TD reception came on the first play of the second quarter, and his second was a 25-yard screen pass later in the quarter. He added a 2-yard TD run in the third quarter. Walker topped 100 yards rushing for the fifth time this season and finished with 143 yards from scrimmage after only 141 total the last two weeks. His TD total increased to 11 for the season – a new career high – only eight games into the season. Walker should once again be considered a top-five fantasy running back option in Week 10 against Atlanta.
