Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Quinshon Judkins

Friday, October 3, 7:51 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III will look to continue his efficient running in Week 5. Walker will have a tough task ahead of him as the Seahawks will host a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team allowing less than three yards per carry to opposing running backs. Additionally, the Seahawks are deploying a running back committee with Walker and Zach Charbonnet. Both players are taking opportunities from the other. Walker's saving grace is his pass-catching and big-play ability. He is not receiving goal line opportunities, which suggests that he will need to score between the 20s. You may feel compelled to start Walker in Week 5, but he is not a smash play by any means. However, he provides a decent fantasy floor this week and can be deployed as a low-end RB2.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins will look to continue his red-hot start to the season with a Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Judkins has now rushed for at least 82 yards and a touchdown in two straight games as he has become the centerpiece of the Cleveland offense early in the season. His heavy-volume role should continue in Week 5 as the Vikings' defense has been much susceptible against the run than the pass through the first four games of the season. With quarterback Dillon Gabriel making his NFL debut, look for Judkins to get the ball early and often in Week 5. He sets up as a low-end RB1 in fantasy this weekend.
