Is there a doctor in the house?Has anyone heard that he's having surgery?

Am I allowed to post this guy here? I think it’s good insight. If not supposed to post other fantasy content, please delete and forgive me. No disrespect towards FBG intended. Just thought it was a valuable insight.
Unless this isn’t a sports hernia. If it’s an inguinal hernia it might be possible, even likely, he is back in a couple of weeks: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10029-021-02377-wReport: Seahawks' Kenneth Walker Underwent Hernia Surgery; Expected to Play Week 1
Week 1 seems a tad optimistic to me but I am not a medical professional.

Pete Carroll says Ken Walker III had a procedure done, but "we've got a chance to get him back quickly" and it wasn't a sports hernia surgery.
I've got to believe Seattle is slow-playing a Garrapolo play; otherwise why would Pete Carroll even stick around?
I've been wondering too. But once you decided to stick around, would you want to drop ship your new QB into the offence with no camp or preseason?I've got to believe Seattle is slow-playing a Garrapolo play; otherwise why would Pete Carroll even stick around?
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said there was no timetable for the return of RB Ken Walker (hernia).
Carroll previously said that he expected Walker back in Week 1, so this is potentially a big change. If Walker is sidelined for a long while, Rashaad Penny would have a lot of runway as the starter. Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas are the only other established players in Seattle's backfield and both of them are better fits as third-down backs.

you can post anything from twitter......except this guy.
This sucks. As someone who had DOUBLE INGUINAL HERNIA surgery a few years ago, (plus hernia issues tend to run in families, it was all over my family tree too) I can tell you point blank I'd be shocked if he was fired up for week 1.
I was told point blank NOT to lift anything greater than 5 lbs for something like 6-8 weeks. I can't remember exactly, but it was at least 6 weeks.
I'm no NFL player, but I've trained and lifted most of my life so I stay in good shape.
Hernia injuries aren't about the caliber of athlete you are, its more the risk of "re-tearing" the area of where the injury was.....or even loosening or tearing the mesh they tend to use. A re-injury usually requires additional surgery.
To put a RB out there subject to hits over and over with such a bad O-Line just screams for problems this early.
Just as a guess, I'd think its week 3-4 before we see him really cut loose. In fact it wouldn't shock me to see them ease him along in weeks 6-8 slowly ramping him up.
PETE CARROLL- Time and time again we have learned not to pay attention to what Carroll says. (Jerry Jones anyone??)
If Carroll says someone is injured, I listen to the injury and make my own judgements rather than wasting my time going over the ******** Carroll spews.
Coach Pete Carroll said they're taking it "one day at a time" with Ken Walker (hernia).
Walker is still recovering from a hernia that knocked him out for the rest of the preseason. Carroll said, "He feels way better. He’s moving around. He was throwing the football around today." It seems like he is progressing, but ESPN's Brady Henderson reported his status for Week 1 still seems "up in the air." Rashaad Penny returned from COVID and the Seahawks hope to get their tandem back to open the season. Even if Walker does return for Week 1, take a wait-and-see approach before using him in your fantasy lineups.

Maybe you aren’t giving fair value?I would like to take this opportunity to complain about the guy in my league who will not trade me Kennth Walker iii, despite many generous efforts. No budging, even tho this player is already hurt before his first real game. Just goes to show you that you can't count on people at all to be reasonable.
Really bad offers.The first one was a 1st + Mattison, since hes the Cook owner too. I offered to throw in Ronald Jones when he showed indifference. Still no.
Then it was Miles Sanders + 2nd. He comes back with Sanders + a 1st. Yeah ok. Keep in mind this guy is supposed to be an Eagles fan. I told him he may as well start rooting for the cowboys with that attitude.
My nexy tactic was to use my commish powers to strong arm him. Since he put Isiah Likely on his t.s. as a free agent pick up, which is forbidden. It's supposed to be only for players drafted. I told him I'd let it slide if he trades me Walker for either of those deals. What does he do? He switches back Velus Jones on his t.s.
I'm over it tho. Really he did me a favor. My cousin got a hernia one time from putting on his socks. Now he cant even play corn hole.
That’s a very good offer.The first one was a 1st + Mattison
You think Mattison and a 1st is really bad for Walker? It’s interesting how different people can see things.Really bad offers.The first one was a 1st + Mattison, since hes the Cook owner too. I offered to throw in Ronald Jones when he showed indifference. Still no.

Mattison has great value every time Cooks goes down and is a free agent after this season. No guarantee he gets a starting gig, but surely possible - and a 1st on a good draft. If I had Walker, I’d take that and I do like him.

It’s basically a 1st next year for Walker. Mattison is JAG. Not exactly a compelling offer when the other guy just drafted Walker. *Maybe* that offer gets a deal done after week 3 or 4. But now? Right after fantasy drafts? Doubtful.You think Mattison and a 1st is really bad for Walker? It’s interesting how different people can see things.
It is a fine offer if it's a 2023 pick. That's a generous offer, actually. Walker was around the back of a round one pick -- if that -- when they were doing drafts that included next year's dynasty-eligible guys. Given the news that Minnesota was looking to maybe trade Mattison to an RB-needy team, I might have taken that one.
But the guy may really like Walker.
It’s basically a 1st next year for Walker. Mattison is JAG.
If Penny and Walker were both 100% healthy, what do we think this backfield looks like?
“Time value of money.” A pick this year is worth more than a pick next year.It’s basically a 1st next year for Walker. Mattison is JAG.
That's a minority opinion on Mattison. Other teams are interested in him. Minnesota might move him. And a next year's first is likely more valuable than Walker's draft position had both classes been available this time.
And rookie drafts are all over the place. I had one in May, one slow one still ongoing in August. Depends. Lots can change from May.
“Time value of money.” A pick this year is worth more than a pick next year.
Well, if it was argued about endlessly, then there must not have been a consensus.“Time value of money.” A pick this year is worth more than a pick next year.
Not this year. A first-round pick next year was worth more than almost every one of them this year but the 1.01 and 1.02. That was the market according to devy guys, dynasty guys, and sites like KeepTradeCut. The players next year are better. We've argued about it endlessly in the dyansty threads here the past year.
Well, if it was argued about endlessly, then there must not have been a consensus.
All else equal, a pick in year N is worth anywhere from 25-50% more than a pick in year N+1. I've done pretty detailed research on this topic. Fantasy footballers basically incorporate an implied 25-50% "interest rate" in their valuation of picks and other commodities that involve a time continuum.
the prospects in 2023 are widely viewed as superior to the prospects in 2022
Agreed with rockation on this years picks not being more valued than next years. The cut off I found this year was after 1.02.Well, if it was argued about endlessly, then there must not have been a consensus.
Talked about, I should say. Those of us with 2022 picks lamented what they were fetching.

I know this. It usually costs a round to trade into a pick.

All bets were off because of it.
I don't argue your general point. I'm saying that this year was crazily different.
