  "account": "The Kansas City Chiefs have started their 2026 season with a 2-0 record, largely due to the impressive performance of running back Kenneth Walker III. He has rushed for 290 yards on 47 attempts and scored a touchdown, along with contributing on defense with nine receptions for 79 yards and another touchdown. ESPN s Nate Taylor, however, believes that the Chiefs will need to limit Walker's workload in the coming season. Despite Walker remaining the featured back, Taylor warns that continuously giving him a heavy workload is unsustainable over the course of a full season.",
