Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Ashton Jeanty

Sunday, November 23, 11:37 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) is officially active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as questionable after popping up on the injury report as a limited participant this past Friday. Despite the last-minute injury scare, Walker will suit up as the Seahawks' primary back. He's coming off an impressive game against the Los Angeles Rams in which he had 16 carries for 67 rushing yards and one touchdown, plus three catches for an additional 44 receiving yards. Amid a relatively inconsistent campaign in which he has shared the workload with Zach Charbonnet, Walker finds himself as the overall RB23 in fantasy scoring this season. He has a great opportunity to strengthen his fantasy value against a Titans defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. Walker ranks as the overall RB18 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday that the ankle injury that rookie first-round running back Ashton Jeanty (ankle) picked up late in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns isn't severe, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Jeanty should have a chance to play in Week 13 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on the 21-year-old's practice status this week. Jeanty struggled on the ground yet again in Week 12 against a strong Browns defense, but he still managed to go over 100 scrimmage yards and scored a touchdown on 25 touches. If healthy, Jeanty will continue to be the Raiders' clear RB1, but his fantasy upside is limited behind a bad offensive line in an offense that is averaging just 15 points per game, which is tied for last in the NFL. Raheem Mostert, Zamir White, and Dylan Laube could share backfield touches if Jeanty were to miss time.
