Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Combines to go over century mark
Walker rushed 25 times for 83 yards and caught all three of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Rams.Walker combined to go for over 100 yards, but he required 28 touches to reach that mark. Seattle's workhorse continues to dominate the backfield touches despite struggling on a per-carry basis in recent weeks. Walker remains a strong fantasy play despite his recent shortcomings as the Seattle Seahawks enter the bye week. Seattle will resume play against the 49ers on Nov. 17.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Falters on 13 touches
Walker rushed nine times for 12 yards and caught four of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Bills.Walker was dealing with an illness leading up to Sunday's kickoff, but it was a negative game script that led to an abysmal showing from a fantasy perspective. Seattle's leading rusher wound up being quarterback Geno Smith (5-16-0) on a day during which the rushing attack could get nothing going. Walker was coming off consecutive appearances with at least one touchdown scored, so fantasy managers should simply move past this dud as the Seattle Seahawks prepare to host the Rams next Sunday.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Set to play Sunday
Walker (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Bills, John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks' official site reports.Walker played through an illness Week 7 in Atlanta, producing 93 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns on 16 touches and a 47 percent snap share. Meanwhile, reserve back Zach Charbonnet handled 55 percent of snaps and had eight touches for nine total yards. Walker opened the week with an absence Wednesday and then practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, but his lack of a game status ahead of the weekend indicates he should be good for his normal workload of 60-to-70 percent of offensive plays Sunday.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Gets back to limited Thursday
Walker (illness) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks' official site reports.Walker gutted through an illness this past Sunday in Atlanta, but he still was able to handle a 47 percent snap share and turn 16 touches into 93 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs. Fellow RB Zach Charbonnet actually saw the field more than Walker, earning 55 percent of snaps, but his eight touches went for a measly nine total yards. Walker has followed up Wednesday's absence with some activity one day later, indicating he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Still dealing with illness
Walker didn't take part in Wednesday's practice due to an illness, John Boyle of the Seattle Seahawks' official site reports.Walker came down with an illness this past weekend that left him questionable for the Week 7 game. He ended up suiting up Sunday in Atlanta, and while his snap share of 47 percent was below his norm (between 60 and 70 percent) on the season, he still had 14 carries for 69 yards and one touchdown and gathered in both targets for 24 yards and another score. Meanwhile No. 2 back Zach Charbonnet earned a 55 percent snap share and tallied eight touches for just nine total yards. Because Walker remains under the weather at the beginning of Week 8 prep, he has plenty of time to put the ailment behind him ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Strong showing despite illness
Walker (illness) rushed 14 times for 69 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for 24 yards and another score in the Seattle Seahawks' 34-14 win over the Falcons on Sunday.Walker was a Saturday addition to the injury report due to an illness, but the third-year back didn't display any signs of attrition while helping the Seahawks to a win on his 24th birthday. He hit pay dirt twice in a game for the second time this season, recording scoring plays on a 20-yard run and 17-yard reception in the second and third quarters, respectively. The latter play showed off Walker's receiver-like skills, as he managed a picturesque outstretched grab. He should have plenty of time to get back to full health ahead of a Week 8 home showdown against the Bills.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Active against Atlanta
Walker (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.Walker appeared on the injury report Saturday with an undisclosed illness, but he will be on the field for Sunday's matchup. He has been Seattle's lead back this season, though it's unclear if his health will interfere with his usage against Atlanta. Walker will also look to get back to his early-season form, as he's managed only 51 yards on 19 carries combined across the last two games.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Added to injury report with illness
Walker was added to Seattle's injury report Saturday with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.It's reassuring in the sense the Seattle Seahawks didn't call up any running back from the practice squad, but obviously fantasy managers need to monitor Walker's status given the sudden addition to the injury report. Should the dynamic 23-year-old miss time, Zach Charbonnet would immediately step in as the primary running back.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Salvages inefficient rushing night
Walker rushed 14 times for 32 yards and a touchdown and secured all eight targets for 37 yards in the Seattle Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.Walker's highly inefficient work on the ground was partly offset by his one-yard scoring run late in the third quarter and his second straight very busy game as a receiver. The third-year back's reception total was a new career high, besting the seven catches he'd just recorded in a Week 5 loss to the Giants. Walker's rushing struggles are a concern heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 20, as he's now gained just 51 yards on 19 carries over his last pair of contests.

Seahawks' Kenneth Walker: Struggles in defeat
Walker rushed five times for 19 yards and caught seven of eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Giants.Walked did not carry an injury designation into Sunday's tilt after being limited during the practice week due to a lingering oblique injury. The veteran starter scored three touchdowns in his return from the aforementioned oblique strain in Week 4, so his poor performance against the Giants wasn't related. Walker still led Seattle in running-back carries and also paced the team in targets Sunday. Barring any health concerns, fantasy managers should stick with Walker heading into Thursday's home matchup against San Francisco.
