Who Should I Start? Kenneth Walker III or James Cook

Sunday, December 1, 7:27 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was highly inefficient in Week 13 against the New York Jets. Walker received another full complement of 16 carries in this game, but he only averaged 3.1 yards per carry. Walker ended up with a dud of a fantasy football day because he only caught two passes for -3 yards. Walker has been relatively inefficient over the last several weeks despite the Seahawks attempt to commit to the run more heavily. His passing game usage had kept him in the RB2 conversation, so his Week 13 output is that much more disappointing. To make matters worse, back up running back Zach Charbonnet ran for 28 yards on just four carries. Charbonnet also scored the team's lone rushing touchdown in Week 13. Charbonnet's solid outing does not signal a changing of the guard by any means. However, the Seahawks need to find a way to get Walker going in the running game. He will look to recover from this poor outing in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 14 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in the team's 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. He also caught one pass for 13 yards. Backup running back Ray Davis scored Buffalo's first touchdown, only to be outdone by Cook one possession later. The 25-year-old sprinted 65 yards for his touchdown on the first play of the drive. The Bills relied on the running game in the snowy conditions. Josh Allen only attempted 17 passes and the starters were pulled early in the fourth quarter because of Buffalo's big lead. Cook and the Bills travel to Los Angeles in Week 14.
