Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (foot) was back in pads at Tuesday's training camp practice, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Foot soreness sidelined Walker for three straight training camp practices, but now he's back on the field. It seems like Walker is constantly battling lower-body injuries, and the 24-year-old's 2024 season was cut short by an ankle injury. Because of his injury history and talk that Zach Charbonnet could take on a bigger role in the backfield next to Walker to help keep him healthy in new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's system, Walker has become more of a midrange RB2 target in fantasy. Walker hasn't reached the 1,000-yard rushing mark since his rookie season in 2022 and he played in only 11 games last year, rushing for 573 yards and seven touchdowns. If he's healthy, Walker should still lead Seattle's backfield in 2025.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe says that Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane could be in line for even more of a workhorse role on offense in 2025 after proving to be one of the most explosive playmakers at the position in his first two years in the league. Achane has an opportunity to be Miami's clear RB1 after veteran Raheem Mostert joined the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency this offseason. He's been clear about his goals moving forward, too, stating that he thinks he can be a 1,000-yard rusher and a 500-yard receiver. Achane was already a top-10 RBI in PPR scoring in 2024 with 907 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns and 78 receptions, 592 receiving yards and six receiving TDs. There are questions about whether the 5-foot-9, 188-pounder can handle that big of a workload, but Miami's coaching staff isn't worried. Achane's fantasy arrow is pointing upward as a strong RB1.
