Should You Start or Sit Kenneth Walker III in Week 4?
With Zach Charbonnet sidelined, Kenneth Walker ran for as many touchdowns in the first half as he had totaled in his nine games prior. He also set a season high with 16 carries as the Seahawks absolutely steamrolled the Saints.
Wouldn’t that set you up to believe that we are in a ‘wheels up’ situation for a back we all view as ultra talented?
He carried 16 times for 138 yards and averaged more than 8 feet per attempt before contact.
The range of outcomes on a per-carry basis might be as wide for Walker as they are for any player in the league, and I’m not sure the matchup even matters.
With a profile like that, I need volume in order to be comfortable, something that is obviously easier to get if his backup/committee member is out.
I’ll rank Walker over Charbonnet most weeks because in that flex conversation, I don’t mind taking on some risk if it means access to top-15 upside, but there’s no denying that this is a committee where both backs are talented, but neither is especially valuable.
