Kenneth Walker (ankle) not on Seahawks injury report
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker (ankle) is not on the injury report for the Wild Card Round against the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.
What It Means:
Walker was held out of practice on Wednesday after being a full participant on Tuesday, but the second-round pick is good to go for his postseason debut. He will have a tough matchup against the 49ers and could potentially lose passing-down snaps to DeeJay Dallas if the Seahawks fall behind. Dallas out-targeted Walker 11-4 over the final three weeks of the regular season.
Per numberFire's NFL Heat Map, the Seahawks are 9.5-point underdogs on Saturday, setting up a negative game script for Walker. The 49ers are also allowing only 14.0 FanDuel points per game to running backs, 2.2 fewer than any other defense. Our models project Walker for 19.7 touches and 80.8 yards in the Wild Card Round.
