Kenneth Walker 2025 Fantasy Preview
| Kenneth Walker | RB - Seattle Seahawks | Bye:8 |
| Age: 24 | HT: 5-9 | WT: 211 |
2024: The lead back for an offense with an identity crisis, Walker was again slowed by injury issues, this time appearing in a career-low 11 contests. When he did suit up, he remained in a sisyphean struggle with No. 2 back Zach Charbonnet. The backup’s presence meant Walker handled more than 16 carries just twice. He did maintain a high floor, averaging 14 totes and a solid four receptions.
What’s changed: Those catches helped Walker to an RB12 finish by average PPR points, though Charbonnet averaged 19.2 in the six games KWIII missed. That would have made Charbonnet the RB5 over the course of a full season. Walker’s never-ending struggle with Charbonnet caps his overall upside, but the Seahawks are promising a much run-heavier system for 2025.
Outlook: Walker was inefficient last season, but remains amongst the league’s most impressive tackle-breakers. New OC Klint Kubiak is an RB-friendly play-caller. Provided he can stay on the field and keep holding off Charbonnet for 1A status, Walker’s lead committee role has an RB2 floor and low-end RB1 ceiling.
