Seattle Seahawks Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Chiefs today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Walker played through this injury last week, tallying 12 carries and 5 targets on a 75% snap rate. But he didn't practice at all this week and is listed as questionable. Walker clearly isn't at 100%, adding some risk to his Week 16 fantasy profile.

The Seahawks elevated RBs Godwin Igwebuike and Wayne Gallman from the practice squad for Saturday's game vs. the Chiefs. That might suggest some concern over RB Ken Walker's availability. He's listed as questionable with his ankle injury and didn't practice all week. We'll look for an update on Walker in the morning and will get Seattle's inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Week 16 vs. the Chiefs. HC Pete Carroll said Thursday that he anticipates Fant will be able to play on Saturday. The Chiefs' defense ranks as the 8th-best matchup for opposing TEs in adjusted fantasy points allowed in 2022. As such, Fant is best considered a high-end TE2 candidate.

Both RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) and RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) are "likely to play" in Week 16 according to Seahawks HC Pete Carroll on Thursday. Dallas falls out of fantasy consideration with the news that his rookie teammate also seems good to go vs. the Chiefs. Walker has been dealing with this ankle issue for a few weeks now but is still considered a high-end RB2 candidate in what is a generally neutral matchup for fantasy purposes.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) was not a participant in practice again on Wednesday. This marks the 2nd day in a row the TE did not log any practice. At this point, it doesn't seem like he'll be playing against the Chiefs on Saturday. We'll get a final word on his Week 16 status tomorrow though. Keep an eye out for updates.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) did not practice again on Wednesday. Teammate DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is moving in a positive direction and logged a limited practice ahead of Week 16. A final injury status for both Walker and Dallas will come on tomorrow's report. We'll know more about who is healthy enough to play against the Chiefs on Saturday soon.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) was a no-go at practice on Tuesday. The Seahawks are set to square off against the Chiefs this Saturday. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for updates on this front later today. Early signs are troubling, however.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle) did not practice on Tuesday. HC Pete Carroll said that Walker was “a little sore coming out” of Thursday night's loss to the 49ers. “We will see how this week goes,” Carroll added. “We have to give him every day to get back." We'll get another update on Walker tomorrow. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) was also sidelined on Tuesday.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said Tuesday that there's a chance WR Tyler Lockett (finger) makes it back for Week 17. He underwent successful surgery to repair his fractured finger on Monday. We'll keep an eye on Lockett's status, but he's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches in most cases.

Giants DL Leonard Williams (neck) is active for tonight’s game against the Commanders. CB Nick McCloud (illness) is active as well

Giants DL Leonard Williams (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders. Williams missed last week's game after leaving the previous Washington meeting early. We'll see about his status Sunday evening. The late kick makes him tough to wait for in many IDP lineups.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett will undergo surgery to repair his fractured finger, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "It's possible he only misses one game and is back for the final two," Rapoport adds. "But a firm timetable will be available post-surgery." We'll keep you update on Lockett's rehab and timeline for return. His absence next weekend will leave Marquise Goodwin as Seattle's #2 WR -- and leave potential targets for WR D.K. Metcalf and TE Noah Fant.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett broke a bone in his index finger late in Thursday night's loss to the 49ers, HC Pete Carroll said. It's unclear right now whether Lockett will need surgery, but Carroll suggested that the injury could sideline Lockett for the rest of the season. We should get more details on the situation today. Hang on to Lockett on fantasy rosters for now -- but prepare to be without him the rest of the way.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers. He was a full-go in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. It all suggests that Walker should be ready for at least something close to his normal workload -- but the matchup against San Francisco's 3rd-ranked RB defense leaves Walker as a lower-end RB2 this week. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is listed as questionable but is obviously off the fantasy radar with Walker back.

Seahawks RB Ken Walker (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for Thursday night's showdown vs. the 49ers. It's a brutal matchup against the 3rd toughest defense in terms of adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs. But Walker's projected volume keeps him in the RB2 mix.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll labeled RB Ken Walker (ankle) "day-to-day" on Monday. Walker was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice, which was a light workout on the short week. It seems like he has a chance to return for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers, but we'll get another update tomorrow. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) did not practice on Monday.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith struggled through most of Sunday's loss to the Panthers, including a pair of INTs. He nearly tossed a 3rd, but CB Jaycee Horn narrowly missed getting a 2nd foot down in bounds. Smith did wind up with a solid 264 yards and 3 TDs passing, the last coming with just 16 seconds to go and his team down 13. Seattle's top 3 WRs all scored, with Marquise Goodwin posting the top line: 5-95-1 on 6 targets. D.K. Metcalf went for 5-71-1 on a team-high 10 targets. Tyler Lockett caught 5 balls for 60 yards and a TD, marking his 6th straight game with a score. Seattle hosts a tough 49ers defense on Thursday night.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was added to the injury report and limited on Thursday and then did not practice on Friday, but HC Pete Carroll said Friday that Metcalf was just getting some rest. It seems like Metcalf will be ready for his usual role in this one.

Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Panthers. That leaves Seattle with RBs Travis Homer, Tony Jones and Godwin Igwebuike. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Jones is expected to get the start.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III is not expected to play today against the Panthers. That's more pessimistic than other Saturday reports calling Walker 50/50, but the rookie missed practice all week because of the ankle he injured last week. Don't bet on him being available for your fantasy football lineups this week. With DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also expected to sit, Travis Homer becomes an RB3-level option. We've had him projected as the starter since Tuesday in our Week 14 fantasy football rankings.
