RB Kenneth Walker III - SEA (2 Viewers)

[Insein]

Officially off the injury report. Being cleared this early does make me think he's ready to start. If it was still iffy, they'd bring it up to game time. Tough defense though but Walker I think is a top 5 RB this year.

Gonna be a long Sunday morning thinking about this.

 

[JoeJoe88]

He's out of my lineup this week regardless

Yep. I don’t think he plays anyway, but I’m not starting him against Detroit’s run D regardless

Well. I said this, but now Adams has been ruled out and I may have to start Walker anyway.

I have him and Charbonnet. I’m rolling with Walker

Obviously

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

LFG!!!

 

[JoeJoe88]

I have him locked and loaded. Bad matchup be damned! Traded Zay Flowers for this dude after week 1 and haven’t been able to use him yet lol.

 

[BlackCrowes]

Have one in one league and the other in another. Benching both for JK

 

[travdogg]

I'm sitting him in the one league I have him (though I have Achane, Conner, A. Jones there) but I doubt he's eased in much.

I have read some internet chatter that Charbonnet earned a bigger touch share based on how he played during Walker's absence, and that makes no sense to me. Charbonnet was a good FANTASY RB, because of his big workload and having TDs, but NFL wise, he is averaging just 3.5 YPC. I'd be downright shocked if Walker didn't have at least a 2-1 touch edge.

 

[Insein]

Week 1, Walker had 20 carries and 3 targets while Charbonnet had 8 carries and 3 targets. I'd expect something along those lines. Charbonnet is not going to be cut out but he's not getting 10+ carries unless Walker gets hurt again.

 

[rodalive]

He's back but brutal match-up. If he can finish the game without another injury that would be a victory for owners.

 

[Dacomish]

Week 1, Walker had 20 carries and 3 targets while Charbonnet had 8 carries and 3 targets. I'd expect something along those lines. Charbonnet is not going to be cut out but he's not getting 10+ carries unless Walker gets hurt again.

And many of those touches came late after Walker left the game with the injury.

 

[kyoun1e]

What are the odds he's getting a full load tonight?

 

[FarFromHome]

What are the odds he's getting a full load tonight?

Gross. Honestly I'm think best case scenario he evenly splits touches with Charbs in his first game back. Best case.

 

[Insein]

I need like 10-12 points tonight. Just get me that, KW

 

[JoeJoe88]

I need like 10-12 points tonight. Just get me that, KW

That’s what I’m expecting.

65-75 rushing, couple catches, no tds.

I mean I'll take a TD but not expecting it yet.

 

[shadrap]

Lions #1 against the run this year. I think.

Lions #1 against the run this year. I think.

4th I think, but still very good. I’d expect a decent amount of Charbs tonight as well.

 

[LawFitz]

Just stay healthy, please!!!!!

Nice vision on the bounce out

 

[dipandglide]

The big dog is back! I love watching Walker play.

 

[FarFromHome]

Just a good football player. Fun to watch.

 

[dipandglide]

Walker finds INSANE little creases. Wozassssssssssssssssssssss

 

[Payne]

Can we please stop the Charbonet nonsense now?

 

[Sunday Gravy]

What a performance. Elite talent.

 

[Insein]

Can we please stop the Charbonet nonsense now?

I'm going to the Charbs owner this week though to see if I can pry him away for cheap.

I just did. Figure this is the week, and he's 0-4.

 

[Smack Tripper]

Hope he didn't get dinged on that 3rd TD dive

 

[Smack Tripper]

Makeup call

 

[Lansdowne]

Benching him was a HUGE mistake on my part

 

[Uncle Leo]

Only 23 years old. The kid can have a HOF career “if” he can stay healthy.

Started him because I’m excellent at fantasy football.

I still lost

 

[karl.Racki]

is he a top 3-5 RB in FF right now?

 

[Uncle Leo]

is he a top 3-5 RB in FF right now?

Yes when healthy.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Can we please stop the Charbonet nonsense now?

Thank you.

 

[Deamon]

duh.

HOF talk is insane.

Saved my arse this week!

Let's chill on HOF talk.

 

[EBF]

Charbs looked dynamite last week and then got out-touched 16 to 7 as soon as Walker was healthy to play.

Says a lot about how the coaching staff (still) views these guys.

They know they have 2 future HOF RBs on their roster, so they're going with age.

 

[Willie Mays Hayes]

Trade Charbs for a 1st round pick

 

[JoeJoe88]

Trade Charbs for a 1st round pick

KW gets dinged too much for them to do that. They like having a guy behind him that can come in and give them 70% of what KW can give them.

Benching him was a HUGE mistake on my part

I started him everywhere. Once they gave the all-clear on Friday that was all I needed.

Started 6 out of 7 places I have him.

His health was not a factor in sitting him in the league I did. Was a huge mistake of course but just liked the other options more. That same league I had Swift and Chase Brown on my bench. Oof, my bench whipped my starters.

 

[Buckna]

Subbed him in as well where I own him once they fully removed the injury designation.

Tried to acquire him in my other leagues while injured too with no luck

 

[Lansdowne]

For me it was facing the league’s best run defense and coming off a multi-week injury. I knew he had a 2-TD game against them last year but I ignored it. I knew better and yet I didn’t. As the saying goes, “Never bench your studs.”
