Kenneth Walker III's fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 18 (2023). Should you should start or sit Kenneth Walker III for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has regained a full workload over the last few games after dealing with injury and working in more of a split with Zach Charbonnet. In a five-game stretch, the 23-year-old played more than 50 percent of the snaps just once and only had more than eight carries once. However, he has averaged 15 carries per game over the last three games.
Walker has scored at least 10 PPR points in nine of 10 games with 10 or more carries this year, and he's likely to see plenty of work as the Seahawks look to clinch a playoff spot.
The Seahawks take on the Cardinals in Week 18, who allow the most points per game to running backs this season. Arizona ranks 31st in DVOA against the run, and the Michigan State alum set a season-high in attempts and yards rushing 26 times for 105 yards in their Week 7 meeting.
This was the only time all year Walker rushed for over 100 yards, and he would've had a great fantasy day if he could've found the endzone. Five of the last seven leading rushers against the Cardinals went for at least 95 yards, and he ranks as a high-end RB1 ahead of a great Week 18 matchup.
