BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/RB3
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is healthy and off the injury report for Week 4's contest against the Detroit Lions. Walker is a fantastic running back, and he should be started, but he gets a slight downgrade. He could be limited based on his injury issues, and the Lions have one of the best run defenses in the NFL.
"He's looked good. He's ready to go."

MacDonald's confidence in Walker is great, but he could see more of a committee with backup RB Zach Charbonnet in his first game back. If the Lions' run defense stuffs a majority of the run attempts, we could still see Walker catching passes, so that helps his fantasy value. Walker is an elite athlete that can take passes to the house.
#Seahawks OC Ryan Grubb on Kenneth Walker:
“I think he gets better every single day. I think the sky’s the limit for him. I think he’s a really, really talented, powerful back that’s a true three-tool guy… He’s electric out of the backfield as a pass-catcher.” pic.twitter.com/b3FAKUQHib

We've yet to see Walker have a significant receiving role for the Seahawks, but the Lions matchup is one where it could materialize, if Walker is used enough. Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is confident he can be a great pass-catcher though, and it's only a matter of time before it comes to pass.
Walker is a must-start in any game he plays. He's way too talented and explosive to be left on the bench. Don't leave him out of your lineups this week.
