Walker has rushed for 65+ yards in five of his last seven games, and he gets a favorable matchup this week against Tennessee. The Seahawks are 13.5-point favorites, which should lead to a rushing game script against a Titans squad that ranks 26th in DVOA and EPA against the run. Seattle has been employing a 55:45 split in carries between Walker and Zach Charbonnet. However, Charbonnet is averaging just 3.3 yards per rush attempt while Walker has been significantly more efficient with 4.5 ypa. That could lead to a larger share of the workload for Walker moving forward, since head coach Mike Macdonald said that he's "earned more opportunities to get the ball” in Monday's press conference.
The newcomer gets a strong matchup against the Titans. Rashid Shaheed stepped into the No. 3 role last week, running a route on 73% of snaps. He saw five targets and a carry, and now draws a much softer opponent in Tennessee, a defense allowing the fifth-most receiving yards to wideouts. It’s a solid price for an offense that should push 25+ points on Sunday, and this could be a spot where they dial up more designed touches for the speedster. Tory Holton didn’t practice on Wednesday and could be headed to IR, which would leave the field-stretching WR3 role fully in Shaheed’s hands. I’d play this down to about +230.
Seattle a two-TD fave in Nashville facing a Titans defense that sits at the bottom of the run stop metrics, including 31st in run stop win rate. Walker coming off a huge game against the Rams last week with 111 total yards – 67 on the ground from 16 carries. That didn’t go ignored by head coach Mike Macdonald who told reporters, ““I think Ken’s showing that he’s earning more opportunities to get the ball.” Most projections for Walker sit north of 60 yards with a ceiling of 70. Game script says Seattle runs and runs a lot.
