In three years with the club, Walker has shown flashes of being a workhorse back with explosive ability and a nose for the end zone. He's also been banged up, missing nine games, including five this past season, and watching his production dip each year, going from 228-1,050-9 as a rookie all the way to 153-573-7 in 2024. Beyond his overall production, his down in, down out effectiveness has also waned, with yard-per-carry averages of 4.6 in 2022, 4.1 in 2023, and 3.7 in 2024.
You can't put all that on Walker, and the Seahawks agreed, utilizing the 18th overall pick on Grey Zabel to bolster the interior of the offensive line. The hiring of Klint Kubiak as offensive coordinator was also aimed at revitalizing a stagnant running attack. That should help. At the same time, Zach Charbonnet was far more productive last year after a shaky rookie effort, and he could be angling for more snaps in the new offensive scheme.
Walker enters camp as the presumptive lead back once again, and there have been no rumblings to suggest his spot in his danger. Despite that, it feels like he's on unsteady ground. He's had durability issues, which includes being sidelined during OTAs with a minor ankle injury, and was markedly less effective than Charbonnet last year. He's also entering a contract year, so the team might view this as an opportunity to make the transition at lead back. Walker would be a risky RB2, but his upside is such that he's unlikely to last long enough to be available as an RB3. As such, owners need to decide if his ceiling is worth rolling the dice on early in drafts.

Seattle unlikely to use franchise tag on Kenneth Walker
Seahawks focused on other priorities
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Feb 17, 8:36 am
|  | The Seattle Seahawks are unlikely to use either a franchise or transition tag on running back and Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The Seahawks have multiple free agents that they want to retain and sign, and the team would also try to extend the contract of wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Walker will become a free agent in March and will be one of the top running backs on the market. He largely underperformed this past fantasy season (RB29 in FPts/G), working in a split role with Zach Charbonnet. A landing spot with a true lead back role in an above average offense would spike his fantasy value heading into the 2026 drafting season.
|  Zach Charbonnet done for the year
Suffers torn ACL in Divisonal Round win
By: Doug Orth | Mon Jan 19, 4:00 pm
| | Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet suffered a season-ending knee injury that will require surgery, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Seattle Sports. Macdonald called it “a significant knee injury, unfortunately. Breaks your heart. He’s going to need surgery, so he’s got a good long road to come back.” (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Charbonnet just enjoyed the best regular season of his pro career, setting career highs in rushing yards (730) and touchdowns (12) and appeared on the verge of taking over as the lead back in Seattle with Kenneth Walker set to become an unrestricted free agent. The timing of this injury could change the entire expected narrative of this backfield in 2026, as Charbonnet is unlikely to be anywhere close to full strength in less than eight months. Does Walker re-sign with the team now if he finishes the postseason strong? Only time will tell.
