Seahawks RBs Ken Walker (calf) and Zach Charbonnet (oblique) are off the final Week 16 injury report. Both guys put in full practices on Friday. Walker should return to his role as lead back, but there s some chance that Charbonnet earned more work with his play over the last two weeks. It s also a tough matchup against the Vikings third-ranked RB defense. It has Walker sitting a bit lower than usual in the Week 16 RB Rankings.
Charbonnet's Friday practice participation is currently unknown but he logged a DNP on Wednesday before being moderately upgraded to an LP on Thursday. If he managed to practice in full on Friday, he is likely healthy enough to handle his typical sidekick workload alongside starter Kenneth Walker III (calf), who returns after a two-week absence. If Charbonnet remained limited, the Seahawks could choose to lean heavily on Walker against the Vikings.
The Seahawks smartly allowed Walker to take two games off after suffering a Week 13 calf strain. Fantasy managers should expect the explosive RB to return to his starting role despite Zach Charbonnet's recent successes. Walker is a borderline RB1/2 for the occasion.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (calf) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice. That should have him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. We'll look for any hints about how big a workload he'll be ready for him in that one. It's a tough matchup against Minnesota's third-ranked RB defense. RB Zach Charbonnet (oblique) was limited on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice.
After missing Wednesday's practice -- and the last two games -- Walker getting in a full session is delightful news for fantasy managers hoping to play the 24-year-old tailback Sunday. Assuming no setbacks, it seems very likely Walker will get the ball an awful lot in Week 16 against the Vikings. That workload could be even bigger if Zach Charbonnet (oblique) getting a limited session Thursday.
