Should You Start or Sit Kenneth Walker in Week 13?
Kenneth Walker III has multiple catches in every one of his games this season and has earned 5+ targets in five games this season. If you gave me that sentence in August without any other context, I would have told you that he had a shot at being the top-scoring running back in our game.
That, of course, hasn’t been the case. We haven’t seen the explosive plays that we penciled in as part of Walker’s profile. Heck, we haven’t seen even league-average production over the past month.
Walker doesn’t have a 30-yard run this season and has averaged under 4.0 yards per carry in back-to-back-to-back-to-back games. He has a stranglehold on the lead role in Seattle, and that role slots him into my top 20 without much thought.
Maybe we can get a spike performance against an underachieving Jets run defense that ranks 20th in terms of EPA. I’m hopeful, but at the very least, you can lock in 14-16 carries and 3-5 targets in an above-average offense.
