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.
