In three years with the club, Walker has shown flashes of being a workhorse back with explosive ability and a nose for the end zone. He's also been banged up, missing nine games, including five this past season, and watching his production dip each year, going from 228-1,050-9 as a rookie all the way to 153-573-7 in 2024. Beyond his overall production, his down in, down out effectiveness has also waned, with yard-per-carry averages of 4.6 in 2022, 4.1 in 2023, and 3.7 in 2024.
You can't put all that on Walker, and the Seahawks agreed, utilizing the 18th overall pick on Grey Zabel to bolster the interior of the offensive line. The hiring of Klint Kubiak as offensive coordinator was also aimed at revitalizing a stagnant running attack. That should help. At the same time, Zach Charbonnet was far more productive last year after a shaky rookie effort, and he could be angling for more snaps in the new offensive scheme.
Walker enters camp as the presumptive lead back once again, and there have been no rumblings to suggest his spot in his danger. Despite that, it feels like he's on unsteady ground. He's had durability issues, which includes being sidelined during OTAs with a minor ankle injury, and was markedly less effective than Charbonnet last year. He's also entering a contract year, so the team might view this as an opportunity to make the transition at lead back. Walker would be a risky RB2, but his upside is such that he's unlikely to last long enough to be available as an RB3. As such, owners need to decide if his ceiling is worth rolling the dice on early in drafts.

Seattle ready to set Kenneth Walker free?
HC: RB is "earning more opportunities to get the ball"
By: Doug Orth | Tue Nov 18, 11:20 pm
|  | The Kenneth Walker-Zach Charbonnet job share may be ending. Or at least tilting. Back towards Walker being the lead back. Coach Mike Macdonald said coming out of Walker slashing past Rams for 62 yards rushing and Charbonnet slamming into those same defenders for just 37 in the Seahawks’ loss at Los Angeles that Walker deserves more than he’s been getting this season. “I think Ken’s showing the abili—you know, he’s showing that he’s earning more opportunities to get the ball,” Macdonald said Monday afternoon. (The News Tribune - Gregg Bell)
FFToday's Take: This could easily be coach-speak, although Macdonald noted more than once that Walker might be ready for more work. The Seahawks cannot be blamed for being overly careful with Walker given his injury history, but most of his fantasy managers would agree that Seattle has gone a bit overboard in their usage of Charbonnet in situations that Walker has handled fine in the past. Week 12 presents a great opportunity for Walker to make another statement as the Seahawks visit the Titans. Both backs should be playable in fantasy, but it would not be surprising if Walker pushes for 20 carries and low-end RB1 production if he gets rolling early.
|  Zach Charbonnet listed as Questionable for Week 4
Full practice all week
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 24, 7:58 pm
| | Of the three who are questionable, Zach Charbonnet and Mafe were full participants today while Bradford was limited. (Brady Henderson on X)
FFToday's Take: Charbonnet missed Week 3 with a foot injury but was listed as a full participant in practice everyday this week so it's somewhat interesting that he's listed as Questionable for Week 4. For now, it appears he will return to action and likely work in a split backfield with Kenneth Walker against the Cardinals.
| Zach Charbonnet listed as Doubtful for Week 3
Foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 19, 4:00 pm
| | #Seahawks have Devon Witherspoon, Julian Love, Zach Charbonnet and Nick Emmanwori all doubtful to play Sunday vs the Saints, with game 5 days later at the Cardinals.
Sub-optimal for the secondary. Section Kendrick, D’Anthony Bell figure to get a lot of snaps Sunday. (Gregg Bell on X)
FFToday's Take: Kenneth Walker has been limited to start this season in part because he's been dealing with foot injury since camp. With Charbonnet expected to miss, will the Seahawks ramp up Walker's workload or allow George Holani to spoil Walker's fantasy fun?
