What happened: The Chiefs running back sits atop the league leaderboard ahead of Derrick Henry and Jahmyr Gibbs.
Why it matters: The production provides Kansas City with the ground support Patrick Mahomes desperately needed. Walker is yielding immediate returns on a contract that averages $14.35 million per season.
By the numbers: Henry trails the top spot with 212 yards on the ground. Gibbs rounds out the early leaders while handling a league-leading 90.0% carry share through Week 2.
What to watch: Watch how Walker's workload tracks as the regular season continues.
