Kenneth Walker III Week 4 Outlook - Seahawks at Lions

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Sep 28th 2024, 5:05pm EDT

Kenneth Walker is off the injury report and is back for Week 4. Sadly, Walker returns for a brutal matchup this week. Walker played 66% of the snaps in Week 1 with 22 touches and 109 total yards as the RB9 for the week. Among 50 qualifying backs, he is third in explosive run rate, eighth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. He could split more work with Charbonnet this week, which is not great, considering Walker will need all the volume he can get this week. Detroit remains one of the best-run defenses in the NFL, allowing the second-lowest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt and the sixth-lowest missed tackle rate. Walker likely needs a touchdown to pay off for fantasy this week.
