Chiefs prepare for Miami as Kenneth Walker III expected to shine
Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face the Miami Dolphins on the road following a 2-0 start. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce are predicted to take a backseat to running back Kenneth Walker III, who is expected to score multiple touchdowns. Walker, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, is currently leading the NFL in rushing yards and has been a significant contributor in both rushing and receiving. The Dolphins, yet to win this season, have struggled defensively, which could create opportunities for Walker against their vulnerable defense.
