Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Chase Brown

Friday, November 21, 4:46 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) popped up with a new injury on Friday's injury report and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans, per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that Walker "should be fine" for Sunday despite the questionable tag, noting that the team is being precautionary. It's never good to see a player show up with a new injury late in the practice week, but signs point to the 25-year-old back playing in Week 12. The timing is quite unfortunate, as Macdonald hinted earlier this week at Walker seeing his opportunities increase moving forward, so ideally, this injury doesn't impact those plans. Zach Charbonnet will likely continue to be a thorn in his side, but Walker gets a dream matchup against the Titans on Sunday and could deliver for fantasy managers who have been waiting all season.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown hasn't played as well as expected. He began the 2025 campaign by finding the end zone in Week 1 against the Browns. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old didn't score again until the narrow one-point loss to the New York Jets back in Week 8. It's safe to say he has a way to go before earning back the trust of fantasy managers, especially since he's struggled to get much going on the ground. However, Brown has at least made up for it by scoring two touchdowns against the Jets and totaling eight catches in the Week 9 meeting with the Chicago Bears. He's trending in the right direction and should see even more snaps with Samaje Perine (ankle) ruled out. As a result, Brown can continue to be viewed as a starting fantasy option in Week 11 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.
