Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker or Kimani Vidal

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Walker initially injured his groin during practice on Thursday, and while the injury has been described as minor, it was enough to keep him out of practice entirely on Friday. Now, it will also keep him sidelined for Sunday's game, although the good news is that he isn't facing a long-term absence. While the Chiefs don't sound overly concerned about his status going forward, Walker's absence on Sunday could be detrimental for fantasy managers, who were counting on him to continue to contribute as a high-end RB1. Through eight games so far this season, he ranks as the overall RB2 in PPR scoring with 872 rushing yards, 26 catches, 172 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. The 26-year-old has been a spectacular offseason signing for the Chiefs, and he should pick up right where he left off once he's healthy enough to play again. In the meantime, we expect the Chiefs to roll out rookie Emmett Johnson as their primary running back on Sunday. While his ceiling isn't as high as Walker's, he still ranks as a strong RB2 option, especially since he faces minimal competition for playing time.
