Week 2 fantasy rankings: Kenneth Walker III ranked as sixth-best RB

According to ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker is the sixth-best fantasy running back heading into Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season.

Last week’s career-high 173 yards against the Denver Broncos saw Walker climb seven spots in ESPN’s fantasy rankings at the running back position, from No. 13 to No. 6. Though the reigning Super Bowl MVP isn’t expected to find the same level of success against the Indianapolis Colts on ‘Sunday Night Football,’ Walker can still help lead the Chiefs to victory.

For fantasy managers with Walker in their lineup this week, here are his predicted stats against the Colts in Week 2

Last week, running back Kenneth Walker outperformed the already high expectations heading into this season. To those of you who listened to my advice and sat Walker, I would like to apologize. Mea Culpa, if you will. The former Michigan State Spartan was simply unstoppable against the Broncos, and I have a feeling the same will be true against Indianapolis.

He likely won’t put up the same numbers this week, but I think fans can expect 125+ yards and one touchdown against the Colts.

Running back Kenneth Walker’s only career game against Indianapolis came in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season. Walker had nine carries for 17 yards and one reception for two receiving yards. The Seahawks defeated the Colts, 18-16.
