Who Should I Start? Jonathan Taylor or Kenneth Walker III

Saturday, October 25, 9:13 AM

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has been the best player in fantasy through the first seven weeks of the season. He continued his white-hot start to the year in a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, rushing for 94 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor has rushed for 697 yards while scoring 11 all-purpose touchdowns on the year. He will look to keep it going at home against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The Titans have struggled against the run this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. Taylor is in a smash spot and should be locked into all fantasy lineups as a top-three play at the running-back position.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is in for more of the same flex-level production in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Walker continues to play in a timeshare with fellow running back Zach Charbonnet. He is running relatively well, but his passing game work has been nearly nonexistent. He has scored single-digit fantasy points in two straight weeks in tough matchups. The Texans are No. 5 against opposing running backs in fantasy. This is not a week that Walker should be expected to get back to his usual production. He is always a threat for a big play, but even those have come few and far between in 2025. As long as both of Seattle's running backs are healthy, Walker will remain in the flex conversation. His RB2 upside does not even seem very achievable at this point. You can start Walker this week, but expect a low ceiling and a potentially single-digit floor.
