Kenneth Walker III Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Seahawks RBs managed only 58 yards on 22 carries in Sunday's win at Jacksonville. Zach Charbonnet edged Kenneth Walker III 12-10 in carries but averaged just 2.0 yards per rush with a long run of 8. Walker didn't fare much better, with a 10-34 rushing line and a long run of 10. Each guy caught his only target.

The Seahawks backfield devolved back into a committee with RB Zach Charbonnet's return for Thursday night's game vs. the Cardinals. But, for the first time in their three games together this season, RB Ken Walker led the way in snaps. It was a slight edge: 50% to 47%. And Charbonnet held a slim lead in routes, 42% to 39%. But Walker was again the more effective runner, averaging 4.3 yards per carry to Charbonnet's 3.3. Walker had explosive runs of 21 and 20 yards, plus a 29-yard catch and run early in the game. Charbonnet did, however, dominate snaps when Seattle got inside Arizona's 10-yard line. He got both official carries inside the 10, scoring a one-yard TD in the second quarter. And he had a seven-yard score in the fourth quarter called back by a holding penalty on WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It was a good call, but Charbonnet probably scores even without the hold.

New Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak talked up RB Ken Walker's fit in his running scheme and ability in the passing game. Kubiak called Walker a "talented player" and said, "we’re gonna ask a lot out of him."

The Seahawks are hiring Klint Kubiak as their OC, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It'll be Kubiak's third OC gig, following stints with the Vikings (2021) and Saints (2024). That Vikings squad finished 12th in total yards and 14th in points. The 2024 Saints got off to a hot start, scoring 91 points over the first two games of the season. But they averaged just 16.5 points per game the rest of the way, due at least in part to injuries to QB Derek Carr and the offensive line. Kubiak's Saints ranked 19th in neutral pass rate and 25th in pass rate over expected. The 2021 Vikings -- quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins -- finished 12th in neutral pass rate and 17th in pass rate over expected. The 2025 Seahawks figure to be a more balanced offense than last year's version, which ranked third in neutral pass rate and sixth in pass rate over expected.
