Kenneth Walker III DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III should be an RB2 in fantasy in Week 11. The Seahawks will travel to San Francisco to play the 49ers who are vulnerable to opposing running backs in fantasy. Prior to the Seahawks' Week 10 bye, Walker had a couple of down games after setting the league on fire for several weeks before that. His rushing numbers over the last couple of games have been poor, but his passing game volume continues to keep him afloat in fantasy. With the Seahawks likely to be trailing for much of this game, Walker should see plenty of targets. Hopefully, he can get off to a solid start on the ground, especially with the Seahawks projected to have offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (knee) back in the lineup. Walker is an automatic start every week and he should deliver solid value once again in Week 11.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III finally received high-end rushing volume once again in Week 9 when the Seahawks met the Los Angeles Rams. Unfortunately, he was highly inefficient with his volume. Walker only averaged 3.3 yards per carry on 25 carries. However, he did manage to catch all three of his targets for 24 yards. Walker's receiving numbers in 2024 have given him a great base in fantasy football. After being on fire earlier in the season, Walker has faltered in recent weeks. While he is still delivering useable fantasy numbers, he has been nowhere near producing the top five weeks that he was providing fantasy managers earlier in the season. Some of it is not his fault as the Seahawks' offense has been unable to get out of its own way over the past couple of weeks. Turnovers and mental errors have derailed drives and put the Seahawks in unfortunate circumstances. With their bye ahead of them in Week 10, look for this offense to right the ship moving forward.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has provided a solid baseline to fantasy managers with his passing game work in 2024. When the Seahawks have a lead, Walker can deliver great rushing output. When the Seahawks trail, it is a different story. Walker has caught four or more passes in four of six games played this season. The Seahawks offense has been bipolar in 2024 so it is difficult to predict how they will perform on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are the No. 19 defense against opposing running backs in fantasy, so this matchup is not scary. Neither team's defense has played with any consistency. Now that the Rams have a full complement of weapons, this could be a track meet. Look for the Seahawks to try and establish a presence in the running game. If they can ensure that this game remains tight, then Walker should be in good shape to provide a solid rushing and receiving baseline in Week 9.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was in a great position to succeed in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. Not only are the Bills soft against the run, but the Seahawks were projected to rely more heavily on Walker with DK Metcalf (knee) out. Walker only received nine carries and turned those carries into just twelve yards. The Seahawks could not get anything going on offense and committed several self-inflicted wounds that would derail their afternoon. The game got away from the Seahawks in the second quarter and they completely abandoned the run. Geno Smith ultimately led the team in rushing with 16 yards. This was a forgettable game for an otherwise solid offense in 2024. Expect a better day from Walker in Week 9 when the Seahawks play the Los Angeles Rams. After all, every player has a dud every once in a while.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (illness) is in a great position to deliver a smash performance in fantasy in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills boast the second-worst defense against opposing running backs in fantasy. Teams have been able to run all over them. Insert the hyper-efficient and explosive Walker, and the Bills will have their hands full. Walker has been excellent in 2024. His worst game saw him score 14.6 fantasy points. Otherwise, Walker has scored at least 18.9 fantasy points in every healthy game this season. Walker has been astonishing as both a runner and a receiver and he has scored touchdowns at a high rate. His involvement in the passing game suggests that he will not suffer from the negative game script the Seahawks could find themselves in against a great offense. It is worth mentioning that Walker was limited in practice this week due to an illness that popped up over the weekend. He was a full participant on Friday. The illness did not stop him from running all over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. If you have Walker, keep letting the good times roll in Week 8.
