Kenneth Walker III (oblique) hopeful to return Week 4
HC Mike Macdonald is optimistic that Kenneth Walker III (oblique) will be able to return to the lineup in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions.
Fantasy Impact
Walker is dealing with an oblique injury and has been all but ruled out for Week 3, but HC Mike Macdonald told reporters that he is optimistic that the stud running back will return to the lineup in Week 4. It remains to be seen whether or not that will be the case, but it’s good to hear that the team expects him to be back sooner rather than later.

Kenneth Walker III (oblique) doesn’t practice Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III did not practice on Wednesday as he continues to work through an oblique injury.
Fantasy Impact
Walker did not suit up last week for practice and missed Week 2’s contest. It was reported that he tested out his abdomen before practice, and head coach Mike Macdonald said, “We’ll see,” in response to whether or not he would be available for Week 3. His situation should be monitored to see if he returns to practice, but for now, it appears he is on track to potentially miss a second week, which would set up RB Zach Charbonnet to lead the way.

What the Experts Are Saying
Walker opened the week with a DNP (oblique). We’ll see if he can ramp up as the week goes on. He did work on the side, including running some sprints on Wednesday. I’ll update his outlook on Friday, but right now, I’m preparing for Charbonnet to carry the rock for another week.
