"Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III is a fast, explosive talent who rushed for more than 1,000 yards during his rookie season and followed that up with another nine touchdowns in his second year. Last season, he added extensive pass-receiving duties to his game. Walker has generally been a safe, high-end RB2 option for fantasy managers but has struggled to stay healthy -- and last season his absence from six games opened the door for backup Zach Charbonnet."
"There is a decent shot that Walker and Charbonnet share touches and both of them retain strong flex value for the season. Last season, they didn't really share touches. Charbonnet earned his chances when Walker was out. This season, what happened in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers may become the norm. Charbonnet looked like the better player, rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown."
Kenneth Walker III is a fast, explosive running back who rushed for over 1,000 yards as a rookie and added nine touchdowns in his second year while expanding his pass-catching role. Walker has been a high-end RB2 but has struggled with injuries, missing six games last season and opening opportunities for backup Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet outscored Walker across the season and looked effective in Week 1 with 47 rushing yards and a touchdown. Walker produced limited rushing and receiving production in Week 1. The Seahawks appear likely to move toward a two-back rotation, giving both players fantasy value depending on touch distribution.
