Kenneth Walker III's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was highly inefficient in Week 13 against the New York Jets. Walker received another full complement of 16 carries in this game, but he only averaged 3.1 yards per carry. Walker ended up with a dud of a fantasy football day because he only caught two passes for -3 yards. Walker has been relatively inefficient over the last several weeks despite the Seahawks attempt to commit to the run more heavily. His passing game usage had kept him in the RB2 conversation, so his Week 13 output is that much more disappointing. To make matters worse, back up running back Zach Charbonnet ran for 28 yards on just four carries. Charbonnet also scored the team's lone rushing touchdown in Week 13. Charbonnet's solid outing does not signal a changing of the guard by any means. However, the Seahawks need to find a way to get Walker going in the running game. He will look to recover from this poor outing in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has a chance to deliver big numbers for the Seahawks in Week 13. The Jets have been solid against opposing running backs in fantasy throughout the season. However, they have struggled to contain quality backs this season such as Najee Harris, James Conner, and Joe Mixon. Walker has been held in check of late, but Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald remains committed to establishing the run for this team. Walker also continues to be an excellent pass catcher this season. His 36 receptions for 274 yards are both career highs and the Seahawks still have six games to go this season. Whether the Seahawks are ahead or behind in this game, Walker will be heavily involved. This game will be in the mid-30s with a breeze. It would behoove the Seahawks to try and stick to the run as a result. Walker should be started with confidence this week. He is due for a massive breakaway run as well.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was the recipient of six targets and four receptions in the team's Week 12 win against the Arizona Cardinals. Walker finished the game with 22 total opportunities for massive volume. His rushing production was poor (2.6 yards per carry) but the passing volume continues to propel Walker to RB2 numbers. The lack of touchdowns in recent weeks is certainly hurting fantasy managers. The Seahawks have scored 20 or less points in five straight games. However, the Seahawks are finally finding success and decent balance offensively. The defense has also stepped things up in recent weeks. If this team can fully put it together on offense, the points, and subsequently the touchdowns for Walker, should begin to flow. Do not be discouraged by Walker's recent production relative to his early season games. Walker is still a quality starter in fantasy and is performing at about the level you drafted him to be.
