Kenneth Walker III Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should have the rookie trending toward returning for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Charbonnet should take a few touches off RB Ken Walker's plate but would be a desperation fantasy play.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (calf) was held out of Wednesday's practice. HC Pete Carroll suggested that Walker's absence was precautionary. He's coming off a season-high 28 touches in the win over Arizona. We'll check back in on Walker tomorrow.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. The rookie didn’t practice all week, so it’s possible that he misses more than one game. RB Ken Walker is in for a big workload today.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) is not expected to play vs. the Cardinals today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. No surprise after the rookie missed practice all week. We'll see if Charbonnet can make it back for Week 8. His absence leaves DeeJay Dallas as Seattle's No. 2 RB -- and Ken Walker in a true workhorse role.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He didn't practice all week, so it'd be a surprise if he played. RB Ken Walker is in for a massive workload with his Seahawks 7.5-point home favorites this weekend.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. The rookie is in legitimate danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. That'd mean even more work for RB Ken Walker in this plus matchup. Check back tomorrow for another update on Charbonnet.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker totaled 89 yards and 1 score in Week 6. Coming out of a bye, the second-year back out-carried Zach Charbonnet 19-2 while holding the edge in targets (3 to 2). Walker scored on the opening drive but was held in check for most of the day, finishing with just 3.3 yards per carry. Seattle heads home to face the Cardinals in Week 7.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker III totaled 79 rushing yards and 1 TD on 17 carries in Week 4’s win vs. the Giants. Rookie Zach Charbonnet saw minimal work, receiving 5 carries for 31 yards on the ground with 1 catch for 9 yards in the contest. Walker III has now seen at least 17 carries in each of the last three games. This backfield is very much in the control of the second-year back, though we’ll see if there’s a plan to involve Charbonnet more following the team’s bye week in Week 5.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker ran for 97 yards and 2 TDs on 18 carries in Sunday's win over the Panthers. he added 59 yards on 3 receptions, tying for third on the team in catches. Rookie RB Zach Charbonnet worked in more than the previous two weeks, carrying four times to Walker's eight in the first half and leading Walker 1-0 in targets at the break. Charbonnet finished with 9-46 rushing and 1 reception (for minus-1) among 2 targets. Few matchups are likely to be as good as Carolina, which entered the game ranked 31st in run-defense DVOA. But a Week 4 spot against the Giants looks positive as well. Seattle gets a bye in Week 5.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker struggled to get much going vs. the Lions in Week 2, averaging just 2.5 yards per carry on 17 totes. But he turned in a nice fantasy day thanks to 1- and 3-yard TD runs. Walker's efficiency behind a struggling offensive line is a concern. But he continues to dominate work in Seattle's backfield. He handled 17 of 22 RB carries against Detroit and two of four RB targets. As long as that continues, Walker should stay in fantasy lineups as a RB2. He gets nice matchups the next two weeks vs. the Panthers and Giants, before a Week 5 bye.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (groin) is not listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited in practice, but he's evidently good to go for this weekend's opener vs. the Rams. Walker is in a nice spot with Seattle 4.5-point home favorites.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker was added to the injury report on Thursday with a groin issue and limited in practice. Walker, of course, missed about two weeks in early August with a groin injury. His availability for Sunday's opener vs. the Rams is now uncertain. Walker's absence would make rookie RB Zach Charbonnet an exciting fantasy play. Check back tomorrow for an update on Walker.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker sat out the team's second preseason game Saturday against the Cowboys. But he returned to full practice two days before that for the first time since suffering his groin injury. We'll see whether Walker gets into the final preseason game, but he'll at least have multiple weeks of workouts before the regular season.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker returned to practice Saturday. He took part in positional drills for the first time since sustaining a groin injury late in July. Barring a setback, Walker has plenty of time to round back into form ahead of the regular season. We'll see how he and Zach Charbonnet fit together in the remaining preseason games.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said Wednesday that RB Ken Walker (groin) has resumed running full speed, per ESPN's Brady Henderson. Walker is expected to resume cutting later this week. He's been sidelined for close to two weeks now, but it sounds like he's on track to be ready for the start of the season. We'll keep you updated on Walker's status.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday. He’ll participate in Friday’s mock scrimmage, per HC Pete Carroll. The rookie will also soak up extra first-team reps with Kenneth Walker nursing a groin injury. See where both Seahawks sit in our fantasy RB rankings.

Regarding Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (groin) and Zach Charbonnet (shoulder), ESPN's Dan Graziano writes, "I don't get the sense that the Seahawks are overly concerned about either of these injuries bleeding into the regular season at this point." That reads more like an educated guess than a report. But it's encouraging as we wait for more details on both injured RBs. We'll keep you updated on the situation.

Seahawks RB Kenny McIntosh is off to a strong start at training camp. "He lost about 10 pounds from when he was here in the springtime, and he's in great shape and is just razor sharp," HC Pete Carroll said. "He has been explosive and innovative with his running and his cuts, caught the ball well. He's done really well." McIntosh sunk to the seventh round of this spring's draft largely due to his 4.62-second 40 time. But he brings an intriguing combination of size (6'0, 204 lbs.) and pass-catching skills (65 receptions over the last two seasons at Georgia). McIntosh has gained fantasy intrigue with the recent injuries to RBs Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

Seahawks RBs Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet are both sidelined with injuries, HC Pete Carroll said Sunday. Walker has a groin injury and may remain out "a while," Carroll said, per NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti. It's worth noting that Walker had hernia surgery during camp last year, although it's unclear if this is related. Charbonnet is dealing with a shoulder injury and is "out indefinitely" while it's getting checked out, Carroll said. We'll keep you updated on both guys. Their absences leave DeeJay and rookie Kenny McIntosh as Seattle's top two RBs.

Update: More Carroll on Walker, per insider Curtis Crabtree: "It's not a terrible injury or anything like that. We just don't want to aggravate it now and make it be something that lingers through camp."
