Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Xavier Worthy

Saturday, October 11, 9:49 AM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III checks in as a low-end RB2 once again in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Walker continues to split time with running back Zach Charbonnet in Seattle's backfield. The Jaguars are 18th against opposing running backs in fantasy. As such, there should be running lanes available for Walker. Walker has been very efficient over the last couple of weeks, having amassed 167 rushing yards on 29 carries. Unfortunately, his passing game volume remains low, which lowers his floor. However, the Seahawks love to run the ball in neutral and positive game scripts. They should be able to take care of business against Jacksonville, which bodes well for Walker in fantasy. Walker's ceiling will be tapped as long as he is splitting time with Charbonnet, but if he remains efficient, he will provide solid fantasy value. Additionally, Walker is as good a bet as anyone to score a long touchdown.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in Week 6. Worthy was listed as a DNP on Thursday after practicing in full on Wednesday, leaving his status for the weekend in doubt heading into Friday. The young receiver then logged a full practice on Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday night's game. Worthy had six catches for 42 yards in last week's 28-31 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The speedster led the team in targets but finished fourth in yardage, averaging just 7.0 yards per reception. Worthy has been battling shoulder and ankle injuries, but has still been the team's WR1 in the absence of Rashee Rice. With Rice still suspended until Week 7, Worthy should lead the team in targets against Detroit. The Lions have scored the most points in the league this season, and the Chiefs will need to score often to keep up. In a game with a 52.5 O/U, Worthy should have plenty of opportunities to score fantasy points. Worthy is ranked WR11 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him an WR1 this week.
