The Seattle Seahawks (3-2) will visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1) in Week 6. 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 6?
Walker is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
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 Kenneth Walker III in Week 6?
Death, taxes, and this Seattle situation.
Zach Charbonnet is going to outsnap Kenneth Walker III and cash in short carries, no matter what the ladder shows.
They’ve shared a field for three games over the past month, and in those contests, Walker has 42 carries for 272 yards (6.5 yards per carry). The new version of this offense isn’t leaning into the versatility of their most explosive back (exactly one reception in four straight games, a stretch that includes the game Charbonnet missed) and that’s a problem.
If we could count on 15-20 carries, I’d be willing to overlook the limitations in the pass game, but we can’t. In a game where the Seahawks scored 35 points, Walker touched the ball 11 times despite running hard.
I have Walker ranked ahead of Charbonnet because that’s how I approach things like this: give me the upside case, even if the touch projection lags slightly behind. He enters Week 6 as my RB22, just ahead of Alvin Kamara, but behind rookies like Cam Akers and Quinshon Judkins who have their arrow pointing up.
