Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Brian Thomas Jr.

Thursday, September 18, 2:24 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III could be set for a big Week 3 performance against the Saints. He broke out for 105 yards and a touchdown on just 13 carries last week, though Zach Charbonnet actually led the team with 15 rushing attempts. With Charbonnet (foot) sidelined in practice and questionable for Sunday, Walker may be in line for a heavy workload. Facing a Saints defense ranked 18th against the run and giving up 111.5 yards per game, Walker profiles as a RB1 if Charbonnet is limited or out.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) logged a limited practice on Thursday. This is important to note as Thomas was able to participate in full during Wednesday's session. Following their Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the former first-round pick was said to be battling a minor wrist injury. While he appeared to be past this injury following Wednesday's practice, he may still be dealing with some lingering effects. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status following Friday's practice, as he may be in danger of missing Sunday's game if he is unable to upgrade to full participation. The LSU product has had a disappointing start to the season, catching just five of his 19 targets for 60 yards. If he were to miss Sunday's contest, rookie Travis Hunter will likely see a significant workload in the passing attack.
