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

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III delivered for fantasy managers in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons. Walker finished with 69 rushing yards and a touchdown. He also caught both of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown. Walker continues to get it done on the ground and through the air in 2024. He currently sits as the RB11 on the season despite having missed two games due to injury. His involvement in the passing game has helped propel Walker into the high-end RB1 conversation this season. He is also scoring touchdowns like crazy. He has scored in four of the five games he has played in. He has seven total touchdowns on the season. The Seahawks offense clearly runs through Walker and wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee). Things show no signs of slowing down for Walker as backup running back Zach Charbonnet has hardly seen time on the field outside of garbage time when Walker is healthy. Walker will draw a nice matchup in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills and should be treated as a high-end RB1.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (illness) is officially active for the Week 7 contest against the hosting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Walker was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday due to an illness and was listed as questionable, but apparently he's feeling better and will suit up. However, there's a chance we could see backup Zach Charbonnet spell Walker a bit more in what could be a high-scoring affair between two high-paced offenses. Although there might be a bit more bust potential for Walker this weekend, there's no reason for fantasy managers to pull him out of their starting lineups as an RB1. The 24-year-old will look to bounce back on his birthday on Sunday after averaging just 2.68 yards per carry on 19 rushing attempts the last two weeks. The good news is Walker has five touchdowns already in 2024 and has scored in three of his four games.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. He's battling an illness, so his late addition to the injury report means there's a realistic chance he won't suit up in Week 7. The 23-year-old has played well this season, totaling 234 yards and five touchdowns off 51 carries. He's also caught 21 of his 24 targets for 136 yards. With the Seahawks losing their last three contests, the team could certainly use him. In the meantime, fantasy managers should snag Zach Charbonnet off waivers, where available. If Walker doesn't get on the field, Charbonnet is worth starting in any fantasy format.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has seen 21 targets over the last three games due to the Seahawks' absurd passing volume. The Seahawks have found themselves trailing quite a bit of late and Walker has greatly benefited in the receiving game. Walker has historically not been the Seahawks' preferred pass-catching running back. However, this new regime seems to be getting him the ball any way they can. He is already only 11 targets off his career high. Walker's receiving baseline has allowed him to keep producing RB1 numbers despite pedestrian rushing numbers. Walker has only rushed for 51 yards in the last two games combined and that does not necessarily project to change in Week 7. Seattle is visiting a potent Atlanta Falcons offense in Week 7 that should force them to put the ball in the air. Additionally, Atlanta is eighth against opposing running backs in fantasy in 2024. As long as Walker can keep up the target volume then he will continue to produce for fantasy. However, if the targets do not flow, then Walker is in danger of having a down game in Week 7.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was inefficient on the ground in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. However, Walker earned eight targets for the second straight game. Walker is not known as a pass catcher. That is a role that typically falls to backup running back Zach Charbonnet. Even so, the new Seahawks regime seems to be changing that narrative. Walker has earned 24 targets in 2024 which is 13 off of a career high. The Seahawks have also found themselves trailing quite a bit over the last three weeks which could contribute to Walker's volume in the passing game. Still, the passing game work is giving Walker a nice floor in fantasy and propelling him into the high-end RB1 conversation. If this trend continues in Week 7, then it may be safe to say that Walker will see solid passing game volume all season.
