Seahawks Hint at Larger Role for Kenneth Walker After Standout Week 11

Macdonald said Walker has earned more touches, signaling a possible tilt in Seattle’s backfield.

Overview

  • After the loss to the Rams, head coach Mike Macdonald said Kenneth Walker III "deserves some more opportunities" and noted his impact in the run and pass game.
  • Walker produced 16 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown plus 3 receptions for 44 yards, outpacing Zach Charbonnet’s 37 rushing yards on 11 attempts.
  • Usage remained close to a committee, with Walker logging a season-high 43 snaps to Charbonnet’s 36, so any change has not yet materialized.
  • Season efficiency favors Walker at roughly 4.5 yards per carry versus Charbonnet near 3.3–3.4, yet Walker has only about 31 more rushing attempts.
  • Week 12 against the 1-9 Titans is viewed as a potential test for increased Walker involvement, though the team has not announced a formal shift.
