Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Bijan Robinson

Saturday, November 8, 2:49 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been a fantasy disappointment this season; however, Walker could deliver flex value in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has a good-but-not-great defense this season. Walker already carved them up to the tune of 110 total yards in Week 4. Walker has been held in check since then, never topping 9.6 PPR fantasy points. Still, Walker is consistently receiving double-digit opportunities. It is only a matter of time before he breaks off a big run. Seattle's offense is in a serious rhythm at the moment. They are throwing the ball extremely effectively, but they could improve on the ground. Look for Walker to have a bit of a bounce-back game this week to get the Seahawks' running game going again. If you need a flex play with upside, Walker could be your man in Week 10.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 17 times for 84 yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, adding two catches for four yards in the contest. It was the third straight week without a touchdown, though, currently sitting with two rushing and two receiving scores on the season. Fellow running back Tyler Allgeier scored twice, however, and now has six rushing touchdowns on the season, despite totaling 79 touches for 290 yards from scrimmage compared to Robinson's 178 touches for 1,146 yards. The problem for fantasy managers was glaring in Sunday's game, which was that Allgeier received five red zone attempts while Robinson saw only one. Allgeier doesn't get much work, especially if the Falcons are playing from behind, but he's getting a lot of the carries that matter when games are close, and Atlanta's next few games should be competitive (CAR, @NO, @NYJ). Although Robinson drew only two targets on Sunday, his work in the passing attack typically provides a solid floor for fantasy, but the lack of touchdowns is concerning. Nevertheless, he should be a top-five option at the position in Week 11 against Carolina, a defense that gave up 146 yards from scrimmage to running backs this past week.
