Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Kenneth Walker III

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had a monster day against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon at Levi's Stadium. The explosive second-generation NFL talent had 20 carries for 106 yards and three touchdowns to go with seven receptions on eight targets for 71 yards and a touchdown. He came into the game needing one touchdown to break Jerry Rice's franchise record for most consecutive games with a touchdown and got it out of the way with 9:07 left in the first quarter. Next up for McCaffrey is a tough home matchup against a fierce Dallas Cowboys defense where he'll remain a high-end RB1 regardless.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III took 17 carries for 79 yards and a touchdown on Monday night against the New York Giants. His score made it the third consecutive week he reached the end zone. Walker nearly had a 73-yard touchdown on Seattle's first drive after he rolled over the top of his tackler, but the replay revealed that his elbow had touched the turf on the play, resulting in a two-yard loss. Walker also reasserted himself as the primary option in Seattle's backfield, logging 39 snaps to Zach Charbonnet's 13. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 5, but fantasy managers should plug Walker right back into their starting lineups when they return to action against the Bengals in Week 6.
