Kenneth Walker Leads Seahawks in Catches

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III endured a weak fantasy day in Sunday's loss to the Giants. It would have been much worse without a big receiving effort, though. Walker made a team-leading 7 receptions on a team-high 8 targets. He tallied 57 receiving yards, to go with 5 carries for 19 yards.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Walker entered this season averaging 1.9 receptions per game. He's now averaging 4.3 per game this season and has caught 4+ balls in two straight.

QB Geno Smith's 96 pass attempts over the past two games played a large role, but it's good to see Walker not giving way to Zach Charbonnet in passing situations.

That's a key reason to believe Walker can continue producing as a top-12 fantasy RB.

Seattle hosts San Francisco next, before matchups with the Falcons, Bills, and Rams.
