Walker shook off a slow start, finishing efficient with 86 yards on 10 carries, showing burst and vision that opened Seattle’s offense.

Walker taunted after being tackled and was fined $11,593 in Week 4. The incident underscores the discipline risk around Seahawks playmakers and could affect late-game decisions or usage in tight finishes. Fantasy managers should monitor for any further penalties that could impact clock management or play-calling late in games.

Seattle runs a committee with Charbonnet; Walker’s steady efficiency and pass-catching give him a floor, but he lacks goal-line work, making him a low-end RB2 in Week 5 against a stingy run defense.

Walker has been efficient but splits carries with Charbonnet, who has out-snapped him at times and vultured goal-line work. Week 5 vs Tampa Bay features a stout run defense, making Walker a risky low-end FLEX with touchdown upside but limited floor.

Walker projects as the steadier Week 5 option in Seattle's committee, especially as TB’s run defense is tough but susceptible to mismatchs in the air.
