The Seattle Seahawks traveled to Glendale, Arizona, to face off against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium for Thursday Night Football. One competition to keep an eye on is the Cardinals’ fourth-ranked rushing defense vs. Seattle’s underachieving rushing attack. With the Cardinals’ stout defensive line and new developments regarding the Seahawks’ No. 2 running back, many fantasy football owners are debating whether to start Kenneth Walker III.
Seattle Seahawks’ power back missed Week 3 with an injury

Zach Charbonnet popped up on last week’s injury report with a foot injury, causing him to miss Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints. He was estimated as a full participant despite the team not practicing on Monday and only conducting walkthroughs on Tuesday and Wednesday. As a result, the Seahawks officially listed Charbonnet as questionable in Wednesday’s injury report.
Seattle Seahawks’ No. 2 RB receives a major injury update

According to Ian Rapoport, Zach Charbonnet is expected to play against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football. The plan is for him to participate in pre-game warm-ups, which will ultimately determine his fate. We will not officially know whether Charbonnet plays until 90 minutes before kickoff, once the Seahawks release their inactive players list.
#Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet, who is listed as questionable on the injury report, is expected to play tonight against the #AZCardinals. Charbonnet has been dealing with a foot injury, but was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

Many fantasy football owners are debating whether to play Kenneth Walker III since Charbonnet is expected to take some of his touches and playing time. In the two games Charbonnet has played, he has had 27 rushing attempts compared to Walker’s 23 rushing attempts and 27 total touches. Finally, Charbonnet played 66 snaps to Walker’s 44 over those two games.
