Seattle ready to set Kenneth Walker free?
HC: RB is "earning more opportunities to get the ball"

| The Kenneth Walker-Zach Charbonnet job share may be ending. Or at least tilting. Back towards Walker being the lead back. Coach Mike Macdonald said coming out of Walker slashing past Rams for 62 yards rushing and Charbonnet slamming into those same defenders for just 37 in the Seahawks’ loss at Los Angeles that Walker deserves more than he’s been getting this season. “I think Ken’s showing the ability you know, he’s showing that he’s earning more opportunities to get the ball,” Macdonald said Monday afternoon.

FFToday's Take: This could easily be coach-speak, although Macdonald noted more than once that Walker might be ready for more work. The Seahawks cannot be blamed for being overly careful with Walker given his injury history, but most of his fantasy managers would agree that Seattle has gone a bit overboard in their usage of Charbonnet in situations that Walker has handled fine in the past. Week 12 presents a great opportunity for Walker to make another statement as the Seahawks visit the Titans. Both backs should be playable in fantasy, but it would not be surprising if Walker pushes for 20 carries and low-end RB1 production if he gets rolling early.
