Kenneth Walker III DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Walker was considered day-to-day earlier this week after missing the Week 14 divisional win over the Arizona Cardinals with a calf injury. The 24-year-old hasn't been ruled out for this Sunday night's primetime showdown against the Green Bay Packers, but it's starting to look more likely that he'll miss a second straight game. Making it even more difficult to roll the dice on Walker in starting fantasy lineups this week is the fact the Seahawks won't kick off until late Sunday night. If Walker is given a questionable tag, most fantasy managers will be forced into sitting him in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues. If Walker misses a second straight game, Zach Charbonnet could come to the rescue yet again after gaining 193 scrimmage yards with two TDs on 29 touches last week.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) was unable to get on the practice field on Wednesday. Walker appears to be in danger of missing another game due to a lingering calf issue. It's worth noting that head coach Mike Macdonald said Walker doesn't need to practice in order to suit up in Week 15. The absence of Walker would mean that Zach Charbonnet would see a high volume against the Green Bay Packers. Last week, Charbonnet rushed 22 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns in the win. He's looking like a strong RB1 if Walker is unable to go. Fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more updates throughout the week.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) is considered day-to-day. There have been positive signs for Walker, and his injury isn't considered long-term. Walker will not undergo anymore tests, which will give him a chance to play in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football after he was inactive for the Week 14 win over the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old's availability for this Sunday will likely come down to how much he can do in practice this week, so check back on his status. Seattle shouldn't be in a rush to get him back on the field after backup Zach Charbonnet went off for 137 rushing yards and two touchdowns while adding seven receptions for 59 yards last week against Arizona. If Walker does return to face the Packers, he'll be a much riskier RB2 in fantasy at risk of losing more touches to Charbonnet.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said the team is unsure on the status of running back Kenneth Walker III's (calf) heading into a Week 15 date with the Green Bay Packers. The Seahawks were having tests done on Walker's calf on Monday and they are hoping to know more in the coming days after the lead back was inactive for the Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Seattle probably isn't in any rush to bring the 24-year-old back if he's not ready after backup Zach Charbonnet stepped in for 29 touches, 193 scrimmage yards and two rushing touchdowns against Arizona on an 80% snap share with Walker out. Walker is no longer dealing with an ankle issue, but it remains to be seen if he'll be active this weekend against Green Bay. And if Walker does return, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be surprised if he shares more work with Charbonnet after his big Week 14 performance.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle, calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Arizona Cardinals. However, the 24-year-old may not be out long, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting there's a chance he'll be back on the field for the Week 15 encounter against the Green Bay Packers. In the meantime, Zach Charbonnet, who found the end zone versus the Jets in Week 13, has the potential to have his best showing of the 2024-2025 campaign.
