Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or Devon Achane

Kenneth Walker III led the Seattle Seahawks running back room in touches once again, albeit without his trademark efficiency. Walker carried the ball 17 times for 43 yards and caught one pass for another 11 yards in Seattle's Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions. His 2.5 yards per carry on Sunday pales in comparison to the 4.6 YPC he posted in his rookie season last year, but two of his rushing attempts resulted in a touchdown. Seattle's other active running backs, Zach Charbonnet and DeeJay Dallas, combined for just five carries. Walker seems to have a firm grip on his place at the top of the Seahawks' depth chart. He will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 3.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane didn't do much in his first NFL game in the Sunday night win over the division-rival New England Patriots, even with backup Salvon Ahmed (groin) getting injured in the contest. Achane finished the 24-17 victory with just one carry for five yards while catching his only target for a four-yard gain. He played just 10 percent of the offensive snaps, which was behind Raheem Mostert (73%), Alec Ingold (60%) and Ahmed (19%). The 21-year-old didn't play in the season opener due to a shoulder injury, but he's healthy now and could see a bigger workload in Week 3 against the Denver Broncos if Ahmed is unable to suit up. Even then, Achane is nothing more than a deep-league handcuff for Mostert as he eases his way into Miami's backfield.
