Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Tyjae Spears

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that running back Kenneth Walker is "earning more opportunities," but it is tied primarily to how Walker is performing during games, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Macdonald continues saying that Walker is doing well in practice, but the game context is what drives the decision-making. Walker's usage has been frustrating this season from a fantasy perspective as he has been stuck in an even time split with Zach Charbonnet, but his strong performance in Week 11 against the Rams could earn him more opportunities going forward. The 25-year-old totaled 16 carries for 67 yards and a touchdown to go along with three catches (three targets) for 44 yards in the game. Walker's impact in the pass game was something that Macdonald talked about as well, and with his game-changing explosiveness, Seattle could start to feature him as a bigger piece of the offense.

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears had four carries for three yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11. Spears also had five catches for 31 yards on five targets. The 24-year-old was able to claw out 8.4 fantasy points, making it the fifth straight game with over seven fantasy points. Sunday also marked the third time this season Spears out-snapped backfield mate Tony Pollard in a game. Spears continues to live off his receiving production to stay flex-worthy for fantasy managers in PPR leagues. Nearly all of his fantasy points were earned through the air, making it the fourth time in five games this season he's done that. Spears will remain a flex option in PPR leagues despite a difficult matchup against a top-ranked Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 12.
