The Seahawks made a lot of major changes this offseason. However, if there’s one thing fans should expect to see continue in 2022 it’s the team’s commitment to a run-first offense. With former franchise quarterback Russell Wilson now suiting up for the Broncos, Seattle has a lot less firepower in the passing game than it used to. That’s good news for people who are inclined to establish the run and also for fantasy football owners looking to get in on this running game.
According to Mike Dugar at the Athletic, running back Ken Walker is the team’s fantasy breakout candidate this year.
“Walker might end up as the most productive running back on Seattle’s roster when it’s all said and done. The rookie second-round pick was a big play waiting to happen at Michigan State, leading the nation last fall with over 1,000 yards after contact. The 41st pick in the draft is already the de facto RB2 behind Rashaad Penny because of Chris Carson’s neck injury. Because Penny has an extensive injury history, it’s expected Walker will earn some starts and make the most of those opportunities in Seattle’s run-first offense.”
