Kenneth Walker III Removed From The Injury Report
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is no longer appearing on the injury report on Thursday. The rookie has played a big part in the offensive success of the Seahawks this season, as he amassed 1,215 total yards from scrimmage and nine rushing touchdowns. Removing him from the injury report is huge news, but his two games against the San Francisco 49ers didn't go too well. He could only post 10 and 47 yards, respectively, in both games with no touchdowns. While he was a solid fantasy contributor all season, he'll be hard to trust against this defense.
Jan 13, 2023 • 3:58 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Should Be Good To Go
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is listed as questionable to play in Week 17 versus the New York Jets, but head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker should be good to go on Sunday. Travis Homer (ankle) is also questionable for Seattle's backfield, but with DeeJay Dallas taking on the No. 2 role, Homer has once again become irrelevant in fantasy. Unless Walker suffers a setback between now and Sunday, he should be Seattle's unquestioned lead back this weekend. In last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the 22-year-old saw 28 touches for 105 scrimmage yards. He's been the RB21 on the year in half-point PPR setups and should be considered a high-end RB2 on volume alone against the Jets.
Dec 30, 2022 • 11:20 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Misses Another Practice Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Wednesday, putting his availability for Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday in question. Walker will need to get back on the practice field on Thursday to have a shot at playing this weekend. The 22-year-old rookie missed Week 14 before returning to carry the ball 12 times for 47 yards in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He also had four catches for 32 yards. If Walker is active, he'll be in play as an RB2 for fantasy managers, although he could be faced with poor game script against the Chiefs. Walker ranks second in rushing yards among rookies this year, trailing only Dameon Pierce. If he is unable to play, Travis Homer would likely serve as Seattle's lead back.
Dec 22, 2022 • 1:58 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Unable To Practice Tuesday
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) did not take part in Tuesday's practice, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Walker missed Week 14 with his ankle injury but was able to return in last Thursday night's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, when he contributed 12 carries for 47 yards and caught four of his five targets for 32 yards on 75 percent of the offensive snaps. There's a good chance the Seahawks are taking it easy on the 22-year-old back, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status the rest of the week. DeeJay Dallas (ankle) has missed the last two games, so if Walker is out or limited in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Homer would likely lead this backfield. Walker is second among rookie RBs with 678 rushing yards and nine rushing scores and is currently the RB21 in half-point PPR formats.
Dec 21, 2022 • 12:36 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Removed From Week 15 Injury Report
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) was removed from the team's final injury report and will not carry a designation into a Thursday night matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Walker practiced in full on Tuesday and Wednesday and is now set to return to a lead role in the Seahawks' backfield after missing Week 14 with an ankle injury. Unfortunately, the rookie will have to face a stout San Francisco defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Fantasy managers would be wise to view Walker as a middling RB2 option for this contest.
Dec 14, 2022 • 11:08 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Practices In Full
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) returned to a full practice on Tuesday, while DeeJay Dallas (ankle) missed his second straight practice of the week. Walker was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated report after he sat out of the Week 14 loss to the Carolina Panthers. It's looking like the 22-year-old has a real shot to return as Seattle's lead back this Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. However, on the short week and against a tough opponent in the Niners, Walker will be a bit more volatile as a fantasy starter in Week 15. With Dallas trending towards missing his second straight game, Travis Homer would be in line to serve as Walker's backup this week.
Dec 14, 2022 • 5:06 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Not Expected To Play Sunday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is not expected to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. Walker had been listed as questionable, and while the Seahawks won't make an official decision on the rookie's status until 11:30 a.m. EST on Sunday, it looks like he'll be inactive barring a drastic development. The same goes for DeeJay Dallas (ankle), meaning Travis Homer projects as the Seahawks' lead back this week. He ranks as a high-end RB3 with upside in what should be a favorable matchup.
Dec 11, 2022 • 3:03 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Has Foot/Ankle Strain
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III reportedly has a strain on his foot/inside his ankle, but the injury is not viewed as serious or season-ending. Head coach Pete Carroll said Walker could potentially play in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers, but it's too early to know. Walker has become a must-start if active, but DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer (out in Week 13 with an illness) will become flex candidates if Walker can't play. Seattle surely feels confident in their chances to beat the lowly Panthers without Walker, so there's a chance they rest him as a precaution with the playoffs looming.
Dec 5, 2022 • 7:12 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III May Have Avoided Serious Injury
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) didn't return to the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams because of an ankle injury. Fortunately, head coach Pete Carroll seemingly provided a reassuring update following the game, indicating the rookie didn't suffer a sprain, instead, he "jammed" it. It's likely Walker, who had nine touchdowns heading into Sunday's meeting, will undergo further testing. However, it appears there's a chance he could be on the field versus the Panthers in Week 14. If he isn't, Travis Homer (knee, illness), who didn't play, may be the lead option out of the backfield. If he can't go either, DeeJay Dallas should handle most of the carries.
Dec 5, 2022 • 3:07 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Won't Return On Sunday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Rams. The rookie only logged three carries for 36 yards before his day came to an abrupt end because of an ankle injury. Hopefully, he'll be good to go in Week 14 versus the Panthers. However, if Walker can't suit up, DeeJay Dallas (ankle), who briefly exited this one, or Travis Homer (knee, illness), who didn't play, may lead the backfield.
Dec 4, 2022 • 11:11 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Questionable To Return On Sunday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is questionable to return on Sunday versus the L.A. Rams. The rookie only logged three carries for 36 yards before suffering an ankle injury. With Travis Homer (illness, knee) out for Week 13, DeeJay Dallas should handle most of the work out of the backfield if Walker can't make it back. Former Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. may also get a few touches.
Dec 4, 2022 • 10:41 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Active For Week 5
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker (shoulder) is officially active for Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable after logging limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. Walker has yet to make a major impact on offense, registering just 58 rushing yards and 14 receiving yards through three games. He should not be started in fantasy football.
Oct 9, 2022 • 4:20 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Limited During Thursday's Practice
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice session. The rookie back is reportedly nursing a shoulder injury, but the fact he was limited means it might be minor. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see what happens during Friday's practice with Walker. Regardless, he has been off to a very slow start with only 58 rushing yards on 15 attempts in his first three games. He won't be a recommended streaming option this week anyway.
Oct 7, 2022 • 4:01 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Added To Injury Report
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) has been added to the injury report on Thursday. Luckily, the rookie back was able to practice in full on Thursday. It sounds like this is a minor issue, but it's still worth noting in case it limits Walker. Walker hasn't made much of an impact this season, but still has plenty of potential. The second-round rookie should continue to get touches, but that doesn't mean he'll be worth starting in fantasy formats. He'll hold RB4 value, assuming he's healthy enough to play in Week 4.
Sep 30, 2022 • 3:55 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Set To Make NFL Debut In Week 2
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and will make his NFL debut in the Week 2 matchup against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Walker missed the season-opening win over the Denver Broncos after having hernia surgery, but he'll be active this Sunday. The 21-year-old should have a key role in Seattle's backfield this year, but it's unlikely that he'll immediately take over the lead-back role from Rashaad Penny. Fantasy managers that have the oft-injured Penny rostered should most definitely look to add Walker off the waiver wire if he's available. Walker won't be a recommended fantasy play in his NFL debut.
Sep 16, 2022 • 10:44 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Limited Thursday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He had surgery for a hernia in mid-August and was inactive for Monday's Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos. The 21-year-old was a full participant on Wednesday and will make his NFL debut this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Friday's practice status should give fantasy managers a good idea if Walker will suit up on Sunday. Walker will serve as Seattle's RB2 behind Rashaad Penny, but due to the uncertainty of his role in Week 2, he is not recommended flex option in Week 2.
Sep 16, 2022 • 2:33 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Practices In Full On Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) practiced in full Wednesday. He had surgery for a hernia in mid-August and was inactive for Monday's Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos. "Kenny Walker is going to be out there this week for us to add to that, said head coach Pete Carroll. The 21-year-old will make his NFL debut against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. Walker will serve as Seattle's RB2 behind Rashaad Penny, who logged 12 carries for 60 yards, and two catches for seven yards In Monday's win over the Broncos. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Walker, but due to the uncertainty of his role, he is not recommended flex option in Week 2.
Sep 15, 2022 • 1:13 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III To Debut In Week 2
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) will return to make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. "Kenny Walker is going to be out there this week for us to add to that," Carroll said. The 21-year-old second-rounder had surgery for a hernia in mid-August and was inactive for Monday's Week 1 win over the Denver Broncos, but he'll return in Week 2. Rashaad Penny (12 carries for 60 yards, two catches for seven yards) was Seattle's clear lead back on Monday night and should be again this weekend against the 49ers, but Walker will slowly be eased into the rotation for Seattle. Walker should be stashed in all season-long formats, ideally by fantasy managers that also roster Penny, but he'll be hard to trust as a flex play in his first game coming off injury.
Sep 13, 2022 • 5:00 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Inactive In Week 1
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is inactive in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Walker was listed as questionable for the season opener, but he was always more of a long shot to suit up after he had hernia surgery in the middle of August. The 21-year-old second-rounder should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues, though, especially if you have the oft-injured Rashaad Penny already rostered. Penny will be Seattle's clear-cut No. 1 RB to open the season, with Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas battling for change-of-pace duties against Denver. There's a chance that Walker could be ready to make his NFL debut in a Week 2 matchup with the division-rival San Francisco 49ers.
Sep 12, 2022 • 11:16 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Practices On Saturday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) was a limited participant during Saturday's practice. As a result, he is considered questionable ahead of Monday's matchup versus Denver. While the update is positive, the rookie isn't a lock to see the field for the team's opener. However, even if Walker suits up, he may see fewer snaps behind Rashaad Penny than initially expected. Fantasy managers shouldn't take any chances, so removing him from starting lineups in Week 1 is highly recommended.
Sep 10, 2022 • 11:08 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Likely To Miss Week 1
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is unlikely to suit up for the Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The rookie back was unable to practice on Thursday. At this point, it doesn't seem like Walker is going to have enough time to get ready for this contest. The expectation is that Rashaad Penny will be the lead back while Walker is sidelined. He should have some low-end RB2 value due to the volume of touches he should see as the primary back. The Seahawks should give another update on Walker later in the day on Friday. Although, fantasy managers should start preparing for a backup plan.
Sep 9, 2022 • 3:47 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Is A Game-Time Decision
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is considered a game-time decision for Week 1, according to head coach Pete Carroll. The rookie running back is expected to get in some work on Thursday. He continues to deal with a hernia issue that could limit him to begin the season. The team is expected to have Rashaad Penny function as the lead back right away. Walker should get touches as the backup, but Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas will get more chances, assuming Walker can't play on Sunday. Neither player is worth rostering right now. Walker is worth a stash in most formats, but isn't a recommended streaming option for Week 1.
Sep 8, 2022 • 10:12 PM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Misses Another Practice
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) missed another practice on Tuesday. Walker has a little extra time with the team's Week 1 regular season opener against the Denver Broncos not until Monday night, but the 21-year-old doesn't appear to be on the right track to play. Walker did some running and catching on Monday, but head coach Pete Carroll doesn't know if Walker will be able to play against Denver after recovering from hernia surgery. Rashaad Penny is already the team's lead back heading into Week 1, but if Walker cannot go, Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas will have bigger change-of-pace roles. Even if Walker is active, he won't be recommended for starting fantasy lineups in Week 1 because of the chance he'll be limited.
Sep 7, 2022 • 4:20 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Gets Some Work In On Monday
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) got some work in on Monday as his team gears up to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 1's Monday Night Football game. Walker had hernia surgery in the middle of August in what the team called a "minor procedure". The rookie still has a shot to make it back onto the field for Week 1, although head coach Pete Carroll told reporters that he was "unsure" if Walker would play on Monday night. If Walker plays, he is likely to mix in behind starter Rashaad Penny and would be unlikely to see a full workload. Seattle's official practice reports later in the week will shed more light on Walker's status.
Sep 6, 2022 • 1:21 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III Slowly Progressing
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is reportedly making progress. Head coach Pete Carroll mentioned that the Seahawks are taking it one day at a time with Walker. The rookie back is recovering from a hernia injury that knocked him out for the entire preseason. It sounds like his status for Week 1 is uncertain, but he should have a significant role once he returns. In the meantime, Rashaad Penny is expected to be the primary back in Seattle. Walker should hold fantasy value this season, but fantasy managers might have to be patient with him.
Aug 31, 2022 • 12:56 AM | RotoBallerKenneth Walker III No Timetable For Return
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) underwent surgery and doesn't have a timetable to return, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Originally, Walker was expected back for Week 1, but that doesn't sound like it's going to happen. Rashaad Penny will be the primary back until Walker is ready to return. Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas are the only other viable options behind Penny. Both players could see some work in the backfield until Walker is back. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Walker because he does have strong upside. Hopefully, Walker won't be out for too long, but in the meantime, Penny looks like the workhorse back in Seattle.
