Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

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.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. remains a volatile, low-end flex option for the Week 8 road rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite flashing with a 31-yard touchdown run last week. Currently ranked as the RB54 for the 2025 season and averaging only 5.48 Fantasy Points Per Game, Tracy is operating as the clear backup to Cam Skattebo. The divisional matchup presents a favorable rushing environment, as the Eagles defense ranks 25th against fantasy RBs, yielding an average of 23.39 points per game to the position. However, Tracy was completely shut down by this same defense in Week 6, logging just four carries for 6 yards and zero receptions, severely limiting his floor and making him reliant solely on an explosive play to hit value.
