Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is in for more of the same flex-level production in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Walker continues to play in a timeshare with fellow running back Zach Charbonnet. He is running relatively well, but his passing game work has been nearly nonexistent. He has scored single-digit fantasy points in two straight weeks in tough matchups. The Texans are No. 5 against opposing running backs in fantasy. This is not a week that Walker should be expected to get back to his usual production. He is always a threat for a big play, but even those have come few and far between in 2025. As long as both of Seattle's running backs are healthy, Walker will remain in the flex conversation. His RB2 upside does not even seem very achievable at this point. You can start Walker this week, but expect a low ceiling and a potentially single-digit floor.

When asked about running back Kenneth Walker III potentially earning more snaps due to his effectiveness this year relative to Zach Charbonnet, head coach Mike McDonald said that the team takes statistics into account, but they have a plan for their RB usage. McDonald added that both Walker and Charbonnet are playing "high-level football," and they will continue to use both backs. Seattle's running game has been a disappointment through six weeks, but the 24-year-old Walker has been more efficient with his touches than Charb has been. Walker had only 10 carries for 34 yards in the Week 6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, though, adding one catch for three yards. Before that, Walker had gone over 80 rushing yards in two straight games. Fantasy managers should expect a similar backfield split moving forward as the Seahawks look to keep the oft-injured Walker healthy.

The Seattle Seahawks believe running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet "complement each other well" and will "continue to vary their usage according to their weekly game plan and opponent," according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Through six weeks, Walker III has recorded 425 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 86 total touches, while Charbonnet has logged 186 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 64 total touches. As long as both backs are healthy, it appears it will remain difficult for fantasy managers to fully trust either one for high-end fantasy production. In Week 7 against the Houston Texans, Walker III profiles as a low-end RB2 while Charbonnet profiles as a low-end flex option.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III checks in as a low-end RB2 once again in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Walker continues to split time with running back Zach Charbonnet in Seattle's backfield. The Jaguars are 18th against opposing running backs in fantasy. As such, there should be running lanes available for Walker. Walker has been very efficient over the last couple of weeks, having amassed 167 rushing yards on 29 carries. Unfortunately, his passing game volume remains low, which lowers his floor. However, the Seahawks love to run the ball in neutral and positive game scripts. They should be able to take care of business against Jacksonville, which bodes well for Walker in fantasy. Walker's ceiling will be tapped as long as he is splitting time with Charbonnet, but if he remains efficient, he will provide solid fantasy value. Additionally, Walker is as good a bet as anyone to score a long touchdown.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III will look to continue his efficient running in Week 5. Walker will have a tough task ahead of him as the Seahawks will host a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team allowing less than three yards per carry to opposing running backs. Additionally, the Seahawks are deploying a running back committee with Walker and Zach Charbonnet. Both players are taking opportunities from the other. Walker's saving grace is his pass-catching and big-play ability. He is not receiving goal line opportunities, which suggests that he will need to score between the 20s. You may feel compelled to start Walker in Week 5, but he is not a smash play by any means. However, he provides a decent fantasy floor this week and can be deployed as a low-end RB2.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III rushed for 81 yards on 19 carries during Thursday's Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also converted two targets into one reception for an additional 29 receiving yards. He didn't find the end zone, but he did post a season-high in touches and receiving yards. The 24-year-old entered this week as the overall RB16 in PPR leagues and should continue to rank just outside the top 12 running backs heading into next week's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Zach Charbonnet should continue to see double-digit touches, but there's no question that Walker is still the primary option out of the backfield.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III seems to be headed back towards a timeshare with Zach Charbonnet (foot), who appears poised to return from his injury. Walker had been playing less than 50% of the snaps in Weeks 1 and 2. However, even without Charbonnet in the lineup in Week 3, Walker only played 53% of the snaps. Granted, the Seahawks were running the clock out to end the game. Still, Seattle is clearly trying to keep Walker healthy by limiting his reps. With Charbonnet set to return on Thursday night against the Arizona Cardinals, Walker is likely to enter into a roughly 50/50 split for running back touches. He has been able to remain a high-level fantasy option by scoring touchdowns, but his lack of efficiency in Week 3 will certainly need to improve. Arizona has been generous to opposing backfields in fantasy, giving both Walker and Charbonnet a chance to feast this week. Walker is best deployed as a low-end RB2 with upside for a big play.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald was not pleased with the team's rushing performance in their Week 3 blowout win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday. "It's not good enough. It's not even close to being good enough," Macdonald said. Running back Kenneth Walker III had 16 carries for only 38 yards, but he made up for it by scoring twice. Backup George Holani had 10 carries for only 27 yards with Zach Charbonnet (foot) inactive. While Walker's fantasy managers were pleased by his two-touchdown performance with Charbonnet out of the picture on Sunday, Macdonald's comments don't bode well for Walker's workload going forward if he continues to be inefficient on the ground. The 24-year-old averaged under 3.0 yards a carry in Weeks 1 and 3 while going for 8.1 yards a tote in a big Week 2 performance. When Charb returns (possibly in Week 4), Walker could see even fewer carries.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III entered a great Week 3 matchup against the visiting New Orleans Saints with a higher fantasy ceiling after backfield mate Zach Charbonnet (foot) was ruled out. Walker took advantage with 16 carries and two touchdowns on the ground, but he wasn't very efficient with just 38 rushing yards (2.4 yards per carry). The 24-year-old added one catch on his only target for a 12-yard gain. Fantasy managers have to be pleased with Walker's production the last two weeks, as he's gone for 143 rushing yards and three touchdowns since a quiet Week 1 showing. Seattle took their foot off the gas in the second half on Sunday after quickly building a large first-half lead, as backup George Holani also reached double-digit carries (10). Walker is going to need to be more efficient when Charbonnet comes back to return RB2 value in fantasy, but Charb may miss another week with Seattle's Week 4 game coming next Thursday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III looks to be a workhorse running back in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. No. 2 running back Zach Charbonnet (foot) is tagged as doubtful for this week, which means that Walker will likely receive a massive workload. Walker and Charbonnet had been in a near-even backfield split in terms of total touches. The Seahawks have been intentional with the usage of their running backs to keep both of them fresh and healthy. However, with limited running back experience behind Walker, he is going to have to receive the lion's share of touches out of necessity. The Saints have not been lit up by opposing running backs to begin the season, but Walker's volume alone gives him a chance to have a massive game. Walker has already seen a solid target share in the first two games of the season. With a substantial uptick in carries, he should knock on the door of RB1 status in Week 3.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald stated in a recent interview that the plan is for running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet to operate in a true 1A/1B backfield committee. "You need multiple really good backs," said Macdonald. "I feel like in recent history, it's hard for it to be one bell cow all the time... We're fortunate to have the guys we have." It might not be the news fantasy managers were hoping for, but it's the correct move for the team, particularly with two talented options. According to the head coach, the plan is for both backs to have "ample opportunity" each week to impact the game on the ground. Seattle is currently a top ten team in terms of rush percentage, and if that trend is sustained, both backs will have valuable outings. However, they'll also cannibalize each other's fantasy ceilings. Both have solid standalone value at present.
