Kenneth Walker Latest Injury Update - November 29
Kenneth Walker (oblique) remained sidelined in practice on Tuesday after suffering an oblique injury in Week 11.
Kenneth Walker Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Walker (oblique) originally suffered an oblique injury in the Week 11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He exited the game and did not return with an oblique injury. He was unable to play in Week 12 against the 49ers but was striving to return this week but seems the short amount of practice days may not give the running back enough resting time to return this quickly.
The injury was originally viewed as a week-to-week recovery, so he should be expected to attempt to return to the field for Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers.
It is likely going to be Zach Charbonnet leading the backfield again for Seattle with DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh behind him.
Kenneth Walker Fantasy Football Outlook
There certainly will be some question marks surrounding Walker's fantasy outlook when he returns to action. When he is fully healthy, fantasy owners should feel confident putting him back in their lineup. Walker has seen the end zone just six times this season but has been productive on the ground running at 4.1 yards per rush this season.
Walker and the Seattle Seahawks find themselves with a pretty difficult schedule to end the season, facing San Francisco, Philadelphia, Tennessee, and Pittsburgh throughout the next four weeks.
When he returns, Walker can be viewed as a mid-tier RB2 for fantasy managers.
