Latest news

Seahawks RB Ken Walker highly likely to miss Week 1

Jordan Schultz via Twitter

Per the tweet, Ken Walker has "had an excellent camp and exceeded expectations, but there's no reason to rush him."

Fantasy Impact:

This equals all-wheels-up mode for Rashaad Penny on Monday Night Football, as he will operate as the team's RB1. With a questionable offensive line —and offense in general— it's unlikely that he will match his six-plus yards per carry clip that he hit at the end of last season, but he will garner a vast majority of the team's RB touches to kick off the season.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny (COVID) back, Ken Walker (hernia) feeling better

Ken Walker III's chances of returning for Week 1 from his hernia procedure still sound up in the air. Rashaad Penny (COVID) was back today.

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll said of Walker: "He feels way better. He’s moving around. He was throwing the football around today. It’s just going to be one day at a time." Per Henderson in the past, Penny is “in the driver’s seat” to be the team’s starting back, but Penny has missed 28 of a possible 65 games in his four-year career, so durability just hasn’t been there. He led the league in yards after contact per attempt and was 15th in broken tackles per attempt. He will probably begin the season as the starter, but Walker is waiting in the wings.

No timetable for Seahawks RB Ken Walker's (hernia) return

Carroll: RB Ken Walker is still tender after hernia surgery and there's no timetable for his return.

Related players: Rashaad Penny, Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas

Fantasy Impact:

As the tweet went on to say, and as we reported after the surgery, Carroll previously said he expected Walker back for Week 1, so that seems like a potentially significant update that doesn't sound great for fantasy owners. Walker is missing valuable time with the team and so it looks like Penny will have much of the lead back work with Homer and Dallas serving as change of pace or passing down backs.

Seahawks Ken Walker gets procedure done

Pete Carroll says Ken Walker III had a procedure done.

Related players: Rashaad Penny

Fantasy Impact:

There wasn't any other details other than it wasn't a sports hernia surgery, as reports yesterday indicated he had a hernia issue. The good news is Carroll would add, "we've got a chance to get him back quickly." Walker is missing key time in camp, however, so Penny will likely take a bulk of the work with the first team.
