It doesn't sound great for Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker to play Thursday night.

Charbonnet had the RB1 role as expected last week, but the immediate returns weren't great, as he didn't hit double-digit half-PPR points for the second week in a row, despite his increased workload. He runs into another tough matchup in Dallas on TNF and then it's back to San Francisco to continue a brutal run of defenses. He should be considered a low-end RB2 if Walker misses again.

It looks like the Seahawks will be without running back Kenneth Walker again this week.

Walker missed last Thursday’s loss to the 49ers with an oblique injury and he missed his second straight practice on Tuesday.

The story said injury designations for the matchup with the Cowboys will come on Wednesday and the lack of work would make it a surprise to see Walker listed as anything other than out. Charbonnet should again see a bulk of the work at RB if Walker is out, but it's again not a great matchup.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith (elbow) is expected to start today vs. 49ers. Ken Walker (oblique) not expected to play.

In a difficult matchup, Smith is only in consideration in Superflex leagues, while Charbonnet should fill in as an RB2.

Seahawks’ HC Pete Carroll told reporters that the team does not consider RB Kenneth Walker III to be an injured-reserve candidate at this time.

Carroll also said the team needs to learn more about his injury before figuring out how long he will be sidelined. Reports say Walker did not practice on Monday. And, of course, an early week, Thanksgiving Day game won't help Walker's chances. Charbonnet looks to be set for a huge workload in Week 12, but the Seahawks do play the 49ers in a late Turkey Day contest.

Something to watch: Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker was limited for today’s practice with groin injury.

Definitely something to keep an eye on, as Charbonnet would instantly be an RB2 option if Walker is forced to miss Week 1. The dreaded heavy rotation we've feared since the team grabbed Charbonnet in the second round may be in effect sooner rather than later.
