I don’t think it’s probably like this, but in terms of average points per game in half-P, Pr Kenneth Walker is 7th RB this year.
It came about in a very strange way. Yards and efficiency weren’t on his side, but the touchdowns were there, and he was very comfortable receiving, catching 27 of 31 targets for 100 and 93 yards and a touchdown. We’ve seen an increase.
Not bad considering he missed multiple games due to injury.
The lack of receivers was always a concern for Walker, and was a cause for concern that the game’s script would push him out of fantasy relevance and then Zach Charbonnet would come along.
But for the most part, this hasn’t been an issue this year.
Last week wasn’t a very good week for Walker.
It was his worst performance of the season.
The Seahawks were missing DK Metcalf, looked like an incomplete team, and were dominated by the Buffalo Bills.
This week will be a much better game overall against the LA Rams.
The Seahawks should be more competitive, and this game is one of the highest scoring games of the week, but I expect this matchup to be more pass-heavy.
What I’m looking for here is a 14G goal line chance at 70 yards.
This is very reasonable and looks like Walker could score two total touchdowns here and finish in the top 10 this week.
