Should You Start or Sit Kenneth Walker in Week 11?
Kenneth Walker III entered this season with the profile of a home run-hitting running back who would struggle for stretches, in part due to a lack of versatility, but was a threat to make your day with a single carry.
While I don’t think the early season injury is lingering, the first 10 weeks have looked nothing like what we expected. Exactly zero of his 129 touches have gained 30 yards this season, and yet he’s been a steady asset. How, you might ask?
Despite two missed games, he already has set a career-high in receptions. Not only does he look comfortable in this role, but it could expand moving forward if Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s role extends down the field a bit.
Walker bailed you out in the first meeting with the 49ers by catching all eight of his targets (14 carries for 32 yards). This development has elevated his healthy floor to that of an RB2. In the preseason, I would have feared this matchup, and I still do to a degree (-0.03 yards per carry before contact over his past two games). But with the catch count stabilizing, there’s no reason to pivot off of Seattle’s RB1.
