Kenneth Walker III fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 4 (2024). Should you start or sit Kenneth Walker for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/RB3
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is healthy and off the injury report for Week 4's contest against the Detroit Lions. Walker is a fantastic running back, and he should be started, but he gets a slight downgrade. He could be limited based on his injury issues, and the Lions have one of the best run defenses in the NFL.
"He's looked good. He's ready to go."

MacDonald's confidence in Walker is great, but he could see more of a committee with backup RB Zach Charbonnet in his first game back. If the Lions' run defense stuffs a majority of the run attempts, we could still see Walker catching passes, so that helps his fantasy value. Walker is an elite athlete that can take passes to the house.
#Seahawks OC Ryan Grubb on Kenneth Walker:
“I think he gets better every single day. I think the sky’s the limit for him. I think he’s a really, really talented, powerful back that’s a true three-tool guy… He’s electric out of the backfield as a pass-catcher.” pic.twitter.com/b3FAKUQHib

We've yet to see Walker have a significant receiving role for the Seahawks, but the Lions matchup is one where it could materialize, if Walker is used enough. Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is confident he can be a great pass-catcher though, and it's only a matter of time before it comes to pass.
Walker is a must-start in any game he plays. He's way too talented and explosive to be left on the bench. Don't leave him out of your lineups this week.

There are plenty of lineup decisions to make for Week 3, and a lot of them involve the wide receiver position.

There is a tier of receivers, thankfully, that you often don't have to think twice about and should lock into your starting lineups. On a week-to-week basis, though, that doesn't mean they'll always smash. That can present challenges, at least in more shallow leagues. On rare occasions, it can be possible to predict when a […]

The tight end position, long a source of misery for fantasy managers, is actually pretty interesting this season. It seems that there have been more breakouts than usual at the position, with at least five players being surprises through two weeks. That doesn't mean that it will hold all season. However, it feels good not […]
Omarion Hampton, Kenneth Walker III, D'Andre Swift: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 3
We're only two games into the NFL season, and much uncertainty remains for many players in fantasy football. For the running back position, nothing is more important than opportunity, as even poor performances can lead to fantasy success if the opportunity is good enough. Just look at Rachaad White's 2023 season. In this article, we'll […]
Isiah Pacheco, Nick Chubb, Chuba Hubbard: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 3
One of the biggest detriments to a fantasy team is not having good running backs to start. While there are often great options on waivers for tight ends, wide receivers, and quarterbacks, for running backs, not so much. In general, evidence points to the best RBs being selected earlier in drafts. Teams generally score much […]
