Kenneth Walker III 2024 Outlook: An RB2 With Some Risk
6 months agoSeattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III will enter his third NFL season after being a reliable RB2 option in his first two years. In his rookie season in 2022, Walker finished as the RB18 in PPR formats while rushing for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns. Then, last year, the former Michigan State star finished as the RB19 in PPR formats while averaging 13.3 fantasy points per game and rushing for 905 yards and eight touchdowns. The good news for fantasy managers is that they know what to expect from the Seahawks running back in 2024. He'll rush for around 1,000 yards and finish as a low-end RB2 in fantasy. Unfortunately, though, the 23-year-old might not have a high ceiling. The Seahawks drafted Zach Charbonnet in the second round of last year's draft, and he should only see more opportunities in Year 2. Walker will still see his fair share of touches on offense, but Seattle's backfield could be headed toward a true 50/50 split this season.
