Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Brock Bowers

Friday, November 14, 5:31 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is not a fantasy starter in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Walker is running solidly for Seattle, but he has not been able to break off a big play or find the end zone consistently in 2025. Additionally, Seattle is relying on running back Zach Charbonnet at the goal line. Even when Seattle is in scoring position, Walker often does not have a chance to punch it in. What is more, the Rams are No. 2 against opposing running backs in fantasy. They are allowing just 3.74 yards per carry to opposing running backs. To make matters worse, the Rams are No. 15 in receiving yards allowed to opposing running backs, limiting what little receiving upside Walker has. Walker has not scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 4. He has not scored a touchdown since Week 3. He is not receiving enough volume to overcome the lack of touchdowns, either. Walker should be benched in Week 11, and he is approaching drop candidate status.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers caught just one of his three targets for 31 yards during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. Just a few days removed from a spectacular three-touchdown performance, Bowers came tumbling back down to earth with the first one-catch outing of his young career. On a positive note, this week's dud was likely an anomaly, and he should bounce back in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. However, that doesn't negate the fact that Bowers massively underperformed his fantasy projection this week. Managers who started Bowers are likely to enter their Week 10 matchups with an early deficit.
