Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Quinshon Judkins

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is in for more of the same flex-level production in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Walker continues to play in a timeshare with fellow running back Zach Charbonnet. He is running relatively well, but his passing game work has been nearly nonexistent. He has scored single-digit fantasy points in two straight weeks in tough matchups. The Texans are No. 5 against opposing running backs in fantasy. This is not a week that Walker should be expected to get back to his usual production. He is always a threat for a big play, but even those have come few and far between in 2025. As long as both of Seattle's running backs are healthy, Walker will remain in the flex conversation. His RB2 upside does not even seem very achievable at this point. You can start Walker this week, but expect a low ceiling and a potentially single-digit floor.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins turned in a huge game in a 31-6 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. On a rainy, windy day in Cleveland, the Browns leaned on Judkins, who rushed for 84 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The rookie runner will look to keep it going on the road in Week 8 against the New England Patriots. New England has been dominant against the run this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game this year. Judkins has a difficult matchup, but he has been a true workhorse for Cleveland this season and should push for at least another 20 touches this weekend. Treat him as a high-end RB2 heading into Week 8.
