Walker rushed 16 times for 49 yards while catching two of three targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets. Walker had just 16 rushing yards on seven first-half carries while Zach Charbonnet got 18 yards on only two rushing attempts. The lead back then had a 27-yard run called back on a holding penalty on Seattle's first offensive play of the third quarter and was stuffed from the one-yard line later in the third quarter during a string of seven consecutive plays inside the five-yard line that culminated in a turnover on downs. Walker ended up with a 16-4 edge in rushing attempts over Charbonnet, but the backup scored the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Having handled at least 16 touches in all but two of his 10 appearances this season, Walker should get ample opportunities to bounce back from this disappointing outing in Week 14 against the Cardinals.

Kenneth Walker Latest News
Bottled up in win over Jets
Walker rushed 16 times for 49 yards while catching two of three targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets. Walker had just 16 rushing yards on seven first-half carries while Zach Charbonnet got 18 yards on only two rushing attempts. The lead back then had a 27-yard run called back on a holding penalty on Seattle's first offensive play of the third quarter and was stuffed from the one-yard line later in the third quarter during a string of seven consecutive plays inside the five-yard line that culminated in a turnover on downs. Walker ended up with a 16-4 edge in rushing attempts over Charbonnet, but the backup scored the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Having handled at least 16 touches in all but two of his 10 appearances this season, Walker should get ample opportunities to bounce back from this disappointing outing in Week 14 against the Cardinals.
Tops 90 scrimmage yards Sunday
Walker carried the ball 16 times for 41 yards and caught four of six targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals. The third-year back has become a consistent pass-catching threat in 2024 under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. Walker has already set new career highs with 36 catches and 274 receiving yards on the season in only nine games, and he's hauled in multiple passes in each of those contests. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 13 against the Jets.
Punches in touchdown Sunday
Walker took 14 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for five yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers. Walker turned in an efficient rushing performance given the amount of touches he received in a defensive bout between NFC West rivals. The 24-year-old's 3.9 yards-per-carry mark was weighed down by a pair of short carries from in close that netted the back his seventh rushing touchdown of the season. Walker should continue leading Seattle's backfield in a critical NFC West matchup against the Cardinals next Sunday.
Combines to go over century mark
Walker rushed 25 times for 83 yards and caught all three of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams. Walker combined to go for over 100 yards, but he required 28 touches to reach that mark. Seattle's workhorse continues to dominate the backfield touches despite struggling on a per-carry basis in recent weeks. Walker remains a strong fantasy play despite his recent shortcomings as the Seahawks enter the bye week. Seattle will resume play against the 49ers on Nov. 17.
Falters on 13 touches
Walker rushed nine times for 12 yards and caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills. Walker was dealing with an illness leading up to Sunday's kickoff, but it was a negative game script that led to an abysmal showing from a fantasy perspective. Seattle's leading rusher wound up being quarterback Geno Smith (5-16-0) on a day during which the rushing attack could get nothing going. Walker was coming off consecutive appearances with at least one touchdown scored, so fantasy managers should simply move past this dud as the Seahawks prepare to host the Rams next Sunday.
Set to play Sunday
Walker (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Bills, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Walker played through an illness Week 7 in Atlanta, producing 93 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns on 16 touches and a 47 percent snap share. Meanwhile, reserve back Zach Charbonnet handled 55 percent of snaps and had eight touches for nine total yards. Walker opened the week with an absence Wednesday and then practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, but his lack of a game status ahead of the weekend indicates he should be good for his normal workload of 60-to-70 percent of offensive plays Sunday.
Gets back to limited Thursday
Walker (illness) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Walker gutted through an illness this past Sunday in Atlanta, but he still was able to handle a 47 percent snap share and turn 16 touches into 93 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs. Fellow RB Zach Charbonnet actually saw the field more than Walker, earning 55 percent of snaps, but his eight touches went for a measly nine total yards. Walker has followed up Wednesday's absence with some activity one day later, indicating he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bills.
Still dealing with illness
Walker didn't take part in Wednesday's practice due to an illness, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Walker came down with an illness this past weekend that left him questionable for the Week 7 game. He ended up suiting up Sunday in Atlanta, and while his snap share of 47 percent was below his norm (between 60 and 70 percent) on the season, he still had 14 carries for 69 yards and one touchdown and gathered in both targets for 24 yards and another score. Meanwhile No. 2 back Zach Charbonnet earned a 55 percent snap share and tallied eight touches for just nine total yards. Because Walker remains under the weather at the beginning of Week 8 prep, he has plenty of time to put the ailment behind him ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.
Strong showing despite illness
Walker (illness) rushed 14 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 24 yards and another score in the Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday. Walker was a Saturday addition to the injury report due to an illness, but the third-year back didn't display any signs of attrition while helping the Seahawks to a win on his 24th birthday. He hit pay dirt twice in a game for the second time this season, recording scoring plays on a 20-yard run and 17-yard reception in the second and third quarters, respectively. The latter play showed off Walker's receiver-like skills, as he managed a picturesque outstretched grab. He should have plenty of time to get back to full health ahead of a Week 8 home showdown against the Bills.
