The Seattle Seahawks will visit the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Kenneth Walker III.
Is Kenneth Walker III Playing in Week 12?
Update: Walker is officially active and will play today.
Walker (glute) was added to the injury report Friday and is now listed as questionable for Sunday’s game at Tennessee, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
We’ll continue to monitor the Seahawks’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Walker in Week 12?
Kenneth Walker has three games this season with a snap rate over 50% and two of them have come in November as Seattle considers a soft-launch of him as their lead back as a path to a higher offensive ceiling.
In response, Walker scored, caught all of his targets and finished with 111 yards against a stingy Rams defense. While toiling in a split, he had produced at least 20% under expectation in four straight games, but on Sunday, he was 40.9% better than what the average NFL back would have done with his touch diet.
Tiny sample, yes, but we have to walk before we can run and Week 11 was a positive development.
While Charlie Brown has tried to kick this football in the past, this does feel a bit different. The Seahawks view themselves as legit contenders and if they are going to function at the peak of their potential, it’s on the back of Walker.
I don’t think they are yet ready to commit in a featured way, but the trends point to him getting the first chance to shine in this plus-matchup and an explosive Week 12 could swing things in a major way for the remainder of the season.
