Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Cedric Tillman

Monday, September 15, 10:27 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III bounced back from a disappointing Week 1 performance by leading his team in rushing in Seattle's 31-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Walker III recorded 105 rushing yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, adding one catch for 13 yards as a receiver. On a negative note, Walker III earned fewer carries than Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet for the second straight game, although Charbonnet recorded just 10 rushing yards on his 15 attempts in Week 2. It appears Seattle intends to heavily feature both backs, which may make the Seattle backfield tough to evaluate on a week-to-week basis. Walker III profiles as a low-end RB2/high-end flex with explosive upside due to his big-play ability going into a Week 3 matchup with the New Orleans Saints.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman continued to show a nose for the end zone in his team's lopsided Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tillman was mostly quiet, but he salvaged his afternoon with a fluky 18-yard touchdown grab to finish with a two-catch, 22-yard line in the loss. The veteran wideout has now scored in each of his two games to open the season, as he has carved out fantasy value as a flex/WR4 type in leagues. Tillman will hope to keep it going in a tough Week 3 home matchup against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations due to the difficult matchup.
