According to ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker is the third-best fantasy running back through the first three weeks of the 2026 NFL season.

Even with superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes on his team, Walker has been the Chiefs' top offensive weapon this season. If it isn't obvious by now, Walker is a must-start this week.

For fantasy managers on the fence about starting Walker this week, here are his predicted stats against the Raiders on Sunday.

RB Kenneth Walker predicted stats vs. Raiders in Week 4

Walker comes into Sunday's matchup as the league leader in rushing yards. It may only be Week 4, but the reigning Super Bowl MVP has already exceeded expectations.

The Raiders' defense ranks near the bottom of the league in rushing yards allowed this year. While it's only a three-game sample, Las Vegas' subpar run defense is good news for Walker. The former second-round pick is averaging 120 yards per game this year, and I don't expect that to change after Week 4.

I think fans can expect Walker to get at least 150 yards and one touchdown on Sunday.
