Kenneth Walker III Scores Twice In Week 3 Victory

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III had his second two-touchdown game in as many weeks in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. In the Week 3 matchup, Walker carried the ball 18 times for 97 yards and added 59 more yards through the air on his three catches, leading the team with 166 scrimmage yards. The 22-year-old displayed incredible elusiveness on multiple plays to add extra yards on the ground and in the air. On one play in the second quarter, Walker froze defensive back Troy Hill with a juke that resulted in a 36-yard gain that set Jason Myers up for the third of his five field goals. Next week the Seahawks play against the Giants, who have allowed a rushing touchdown to each starting running back they have faced so far in 2023. Walker is primed for another big game in Week 4.

Kenneth Walker III Ready For More In Week 3

So far in 2023, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been utilized as the team's featured back. After the team selected Zach Charbonnet in the second round of the NFL Draft, there was speculation that Walker's workload was under threat. The second-year player has 34 touches through the first two weeks of 2023, while Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas have yet to break double digits. Against the Lions in Week 2, Walker only ran for 43 yards but was able to get into the end zone twice. This Sunday the Seahawks face the Carolina Panthers who have given up 264 yards on the ground so far this year. Walker is a must-start in Week 3.

Kenneth Walker III Scores Twice Against Detroit

Kenneth Walker III led the Seattle Seahawks running back room in touches once again, albeit without his trademark efficiency. Walker carried the ball 17 times for 43 yards and caught one pass for another 11 yards in Seattle's Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. His 2.5 yards per carry on Sunday pales in comparison to the 4.6 YPC he posted in his rookie season last year, but two of his rushing attempts resulted in a touchdown. Seattle's other active running backs, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas, combined for just five carries. Walker seems to have a firm grip on his place at the top of the Seahawks' depth chart. He will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.

Kenneth Walker III - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Running back Kenneth Walker III ran for 64 yards on 12 rushing attempts in the Seattle Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The second-year running back also caught four of his five targets for three receiving yards. The Rams' defense completely disrupted the Seahawks' offensive efforts in the season opener's second half, and Walker was limited to four touches after halftime as a result. The Seahawks head to Detroit next to take on the Lions, who held the Chiefs to 90 rushing yards in their Week 1 matchup. Walker can be expected to straddle the line between RB1 and RB2 in Week 2, provided his offense can keep the time-of-possession battle more even.

Kenneth Walker III Leads Seahawks In Rushing In Week 1

After spending most of the preseason hampered by a groin injury, running back Kenneth Walker III was given the start in the Seattle Seahawks Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Walker led the team in rushing yards and carries, gaining 64 yards on 12 attempts. The second-year back also caught four passes for three yards. Walker's final line would have been more impressive were it not for the Rams dominating the time of possession after halftime. Fantasy managers concerned about Zach Charbonnet cutting into Walker's use can rest easy for now, as the rookie got only three carries in his debut. The Seahawks face the Lions at Ford Field in Week 2.

Kenneth Walker III Cleared To Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. The 22-year-old was dominant as a rookie last season, amassing 1,050 rushing yards, 165 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. While Seattle brought in Zach Charbonnet via the draft, Walker is still the Seahawks' lead back and should be viewed as a steady RB2 in fantasy football.

Kenneth Walker III Limited On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) was listed as limited during Thursday's practice. This shouldn't be too shocking considering this groin issue has been lingering with Walker for weeks now. Possibly, the Seahawks are playing it safe and limiting Walker's reps ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. It's possible that Walker is limited during the season opener. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the next few days. Zach Charbonnet could be on the RB2 radar if Walker is limited or sits out the season opener.

Kenneth Walker III Listed As Starting RB

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is listed as the team's starting running back on the first depth chart entering the 2023 regular season. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, although he was dealing with a groin injury early on in training camp. Rookie Zach Charbonnet is a threat to steal touches away from Walker in 2023, but as long as Walker remains healthy, he'll be Seattle's go-to back. The former second-round last year was extremely impressive in his first NFL campaign, taking 228 carries for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns while adding 27 receptions for 165 additional yards in 15 games (11 starts). In a Seattle offense that can put up plenty of points, Walker is a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers.

Kenneth Walker III Puts In Full Practice

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) put in a full practice at training camp on Thursday. Walker returned to practice last Saturday after suffering a minor groin strain, and now he's back to being a full participant. The 22-year-old still probably won't play in the team's second preseason contest this Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys, but he's trending in the right direction towards being 100 percent healthy for Week 1 of the regular season. Walker is a bit of an injury risk and could lose some work to rookie Zach Charbonnet in 2023, but when he's healthy, he's Seattle's primary back. The former second-rounder was explosive in his rookie season in 15 games (11 starts) in 2022, rushing for 1,050 yards and nine TDs on 228 carries. Walker is a high-end RB2 in fantasy.

Kenneth Walker III Returns To Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) was able to return to the practice field on Saturday. This is great news considering Walker has been sidelined by a groin issue since the beginning of training camp. The 22-year-old only did positional drills and didn't participate in any team drills on Saturday. Either way, it's a step in the right direction for Walker. The Seahawks have high hopes for Walker after he rushed for over 1,000 yards last season. The expectation is that he'll be fully ready by the time the regular season rolls around. He'll be in the RB2 conversation considering the Seahawks did add some depth at running back this offseason.

Kenneth Walker III Making Progress

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) hasn't practiced since the first day of training camp, but head coach Pete Carroll has said it isn't a serious injury. Carroll said on Wednesday that Walker is running at full speed in a straight line. His next step will be cutting, which will happen in the next couple of days. The 22-year-old second-year back won't play in the preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings this week, but barring a setback, he'll be fully ready for Week 1 of the regular season. Walker has plenty of fantasy upside as a rusher, but the addition of rookie Zach Charbonnet will keep his ceiling a bit lower as an RB2 in upcoming drafts. In 15 games (11 starts) in his rookie season in 2022, Walker rushed for 1,050 yards and nine TDs on 228 carries.

Kenneth Walker III Hasn't Returned To Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) has not yet returned to training camp practice as of Thursday. Meanwhile, rookie Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) has returned after missing only three practices. The Seahawks are going to take it slowly with Walker, who figures to lead the backfield in touches in 2023 as long as he's healthy. Head coach Pete Carroll called Walker week-to-week on Monday. Walker and Charbonnet will be used in tandem at times this year, but Walker deserves the first crack after looking good in his rookie season in 2022 after Rashaad Penny went down with a season-ending leg injury. The 22-year-old averaged 18.6 carries on 4.4 yards per carry to close things out and should be viewed as a solid RB2 as long as he's ready to play in Week 1.

Kenneth Walker III Expected To See Bulk Of The Work

Assuming Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) is ready for Week 1 of the regular season, the sense that ESPN's Dan Graziano gets is that Walker will be the starter and get the bulk of the work. Rookie Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) will also have a role, perhaps in the two-minute or four-minute offenses. Sources around the team believe Walker and Charbonnet complement each other well, and the Seahawks expect to use them in tandem to some extent. But Charbonnet could miss valuable developmental time in training camp due to his injury, and several people foresee an improvement from Walker in 2023. If Walker is ready to roll in Week 1 and can stay healthy all year, he should be a pretty nice value as an RB2 in fantasy drafts.

Kenneth Walker III Considered Week-To-Week

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is dealing with a groin injury during training camp and is being considered week-to-week. Naturally, the team will take a cautious approach with its 22-year-old running back, so he could miss the majority of preseason action leading up to Week 1 of the regular season. It's worth noting rookie running back Zach Charbonnet is also missing time with a shoulder injury, so DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh are in line to get the bulk of the reps at running back moving forward. One or both of them could be on the fantasy radar to start the season depending on Charbonnet's timetable for return.

Kenneth Walker III Dealing With Groin Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) was sidelined during Sunday's practice due to injury. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker could be sidelined for a decent amount of time. It sounds like the Seahawks are taking the cautious approach and holding out Walker, so the injury can heal. It might not be too serious of an issue, but the Seahawks don't want to take any chances. The Seahawks are already without Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) for the foreseeable future. That means, DeeJay Dallas and rookie Kenny McIntosh are the top backs in Seattle right now. Fantasy managers should get another update on Walker in a week or so.
