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.

 Zach Charbonnet done for the year
Suffers torn ACL in Divisonal Round win
By: Doug Orth | Mon Jan 19, 4:00 pm
|  | Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet suffered a season-ending knee injury that will require surgery, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Seattle Sports. Macdonald called it “a significant knee injury, unfortunately. Breaks your heart. He’s going to need surgery, so he’s got a good long road to come back.” (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Charbonnet just enjoyed the best regular season of his pro career, setting career highs in rushing yards (730) and touchdowns (12) and appeared on the verge of taking over as the lead back in Seattle with Kenneth Walker set to become an unrestricted free agent. The timing of this injury could change the entire expected narrative of this backfield in 2026, as Charbonnet is unlikely to be anywhere close to full strength in less than eight months. Does Walker re-sign with the team now if he finishes the postseason strong? Only time will tell.
| 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 ability 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.
