Lost in the interceptions and the frantic comeback by the Seahawks on Sunday was another strong game for running back Kenneth Walker III.

That led to this comment Monday from head coach Mike Macdonald, one that could also have reverberations for the future.

“I think Ken’s showing that he’s earning more opportunities to get the ball,” Macdonald said.

Macdonald reiterated that wasn’t necessarily a statement on Charbonnet, who has been sharing playing time with Walker — Walker has 284 snaps to Charbonnet’s 279 — but more a reflection of how Walker has been playing of late. Walker went 16-67-0 and added 44 yards receiving. He had a 15-yard rushing TD called back on a penalty. The story added Walker has 19 runs of 10 yards or better, which is ninth in the NFL according to PFF. He's just 18th in carries however, so it seems the Seahawks are hoping a few more touches will produce even better numbers. Charbonnet had 11 carries for 37 yards vs. the Rams.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet, who is listed as questionable on the injury report, is expected to play tonight against the Cardinals. Charbonnet has been dealing with a foot injury, but was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

The Seahawks' backfield has been all over the place through the first three games, from a seemingly 50/50 split to Walker absolutely blowing Charbonnet out of the water in efficiency to the latter missing last week's game. We expect Walker to maintain the lead in touches but his teammate's return puts him closer to RB3 status than locked-in RB2 land. Charbonnet is a lower-end RB3/4 though he does have touchdown upside.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet is doubtful to play Sunday against the Saints.

It’s workhorse Ken Walker time

As Yates said, it is undoubtedly Kenneth Walker time. Consider him a top-15 play with top-5 upside after his fantastic 18.3-point performance in Week 2.

Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker missed practice for the second straight day on Monday, but head coach Mike Macdonald said it’s part of the team’s approach to making sure Walker is good to go for the start of the season.

“We have a plan for Ken, and we’re sticking to the plan,” Walker said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.

Walker missed time with foot soreness earlier in camp and Macdonald said that the rest is part of the team’s desire to manage his workload heading into September, the story said. Anyone who owns Walker may want to make an effort to have Charbonnet on their roster as well. Walker's ADP is the early 4th round and Charbonnet's is the 10th. Charbonnet, as we talk about in his profile, has produced elite numbers when given extended work.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Seahawks with about as clean of an injury report as there could be with only three players declared out, no one else given a game designation. That means Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet are all good to go.

Looks like we're back to the typical RB rotation in Seattle, but we would bet that Charbonnet gets more run than the early season. Consider Walker and Charbs respective RB2 and RB3s.

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.

On his Zoom call with the beat coach Mike Macdonald says Kenneth Walker's issue is his calf.

The post added it's no longer Walker's ankle that's the issue. The post also added the Seahawks are sending Walker for more tests, and they should know more about how much longer their lead RB may be out. Walker didn't practice last Thursday and Friday before being downgraded to out on Saturday. ESPN and Adam Schefter said Walker should have a chance to play in Week 15, but owners will want to monitor how the tests go and see if Walker can get on the practice field this week. Charbonnet had a huge game filling in, rushing 22 times for 134 yards and two TDs, adding seven catches for 59 yards.
