Chiefs RB is among NFL's leaders in key stat ahead of tilt vs. Jets

· Yahoo Sports

According to the experts at Pro Football Focus, star running back Kenneth Walker III is among the NFL's leaders in yards per rush ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 9 matchup against the New York Jets.

Walker has been the centerpiece of Kansas City's offense this season and got off to a red-hot start to his 2026 campaign before the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos managed to stonewall him during the Chiefs' losses in Weeks 7 and 8.

Only Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has managed to outperform Walker in this key category, though the Super Bowl LX MVP is only trailing him by .4 yards per rush.

Kansas City would be wise to lean on Walker during its matchup against New York this afternoon, especially considering that the Jets have dealt with significant injuries to their front seven ahead of the highly anticipated Week 9 showdown at Arrowhead Stadium.
