Kenneth Walker III Week 8 Outlook - Bills at Seahawks

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 2:01am EDT

Though not quite as efficient as Joe Mixon, Kenneth Walker III has now finished as the weekly RB9 or better three times in five games this season. Walker III could be in for another big day in Week 8. He faces a Buffalo Bills defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this year. Seattle may also be without top wide receiver DK Metcalf in this matchup. His absence would likely cause the Seahawks to lean on the run game more than they have to this point. Walker III is averaging 13 carries per game, compared to 14.6 a season ago. Do not be surprised if Walker III sets a new season-high in touches on Sunday. He hasn't needed that type of volume to reward his fantasy managers, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to see him earn a few additional carries.
