Kenneth Walker Dominates in Week 4 Win

Sunday, October 4, 5:30 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker had a monster game in his team's 30-27 Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, recording 22 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old's big day against Las Vegas is a continuation of what's been an electric start to his first season in Kansas City. Across four games, Walker has recorded 537 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 87 carries. He's also been effective as a receiver out of the backfield, logging 12 catches for 84 yards and two scores on 19 targets. Walker battled injuries and a split backfield during his time as a member of the Seattle Seahawks over the previous four seasons. However, he appears to be the Chiefs' workhorse back. If Walker can stay healthy, he could be poised for a league-winning fantasy campaign in 2026.

Rachaad White Cleared to Play Sunday

Friday, October 9, 9:12 AM

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White (shoulder) missed the team's Week 4 loss to the Colts and has been a limited practice participant to begin the week, but according to team senior writer Zach Selby, he has been cleared to play in a Week 5 divisional clash with the Giants. White has averaged 10.3 opportunities per game, but in his absence, veteran running back Austin Ekeler stepped in less than a week after signing with the team and handled six opportunities out of the gate. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt still leading the backfield, the division of labor between White and Ekeler bears monitoring, though neither makes for a viable start in a game that could see fewer receiving opportunities than the pass-heavy script Washington was forced into a week ago in London.
