Kenneth Walker III News
So far in 2023, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been utilized as the team's featured back. After the team selected Zach Charbonnet in the second round of the NFL Draft, there was speculation that Walker's workload was under threat. The second-year player has 34 touches through the first two weeks of 2023, while Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas have yet to break double digits. Against the Lions in Week 2, Walker only ran for 43 yards but was able to get into the end zone twice. This Sunday the Seahawks face the Carolina Panthers who have given up 264 yards on the ground so far this year. Walker is a must-start in Week 3.
Kenneth Walker III led the Seattle Seahawks running back room in touches once again, albeit without his trademark efficiency. Walker carried the ball 17 times for 43 yards and caught one pass for another 11 yards in Seattle's Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. His 2.5 yards per carry on Sunday pales in comparison to the 4.6 YPC he posted in his rookie season last year, but two of his rushing attempts resulted in a touchdown. Seattle's other active running backs, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas, combined for just five carries. Walker seems to have a firm grip on his place at the top of the Seahawks' depth chart. He will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.
Running back Kenneth Walker III ran for 64 yards on 12 rushing attempts in the Seattle Seahawks' Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The second-year running back also caught four of his five targets for three receiving yards. The Rams' defense completely disrupted the Seahawks' offensive efforts in the season opener's second half, and Walker was limited to four touches after halftime as a result. The Seahawks head to Detroit next to take on the Lions, who held the Chiefs to 90 rushing yards in their Week 1 matchup. Walker can be expected to straddle the line between RB1 and RB2 in Week 2, provided his offense can keep the time-of-possession battle more even.
