Kenneth Walker III

Kenneth Walker rushed five times for 19 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 5 loss to the Giants, adding seven catches for 57 yards.

Walker was surprisingly seldom used as a rusher, getting just five carries on the day. The Seahawks had very little time of possession early on, running fewer plays and rushes as a result. Outside of a couple Geno Smith scrambles, the run game did not have an impact, though Walker had a team-high eight targets, mainly from Smith’s checkdowns. He caught seven of those for 57 yards, pleasing his PPR fantasy managers. Walker is a back-end RB1 heading into a tough Week 6 matchup against the 49ers.
