If you’ve followed my work, you know I’m a huge Kenneth Walker III fan. He is a game-changer who runs with both power and wiggle. He would perfectly complement the explosive game of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and the power of Chris Rodriguez. Walker is already accustomed to a “committee” backfield alongside Zach Charbonnet, so he is comfortable coming in for specific series to provide a punch.
However, he has transitioned to an Honorable Mention because he has played too well during this 2026 playoff run. In just two postseason games, Walker has racked up 178 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns, totaling 256 yards from scrimmage. Additionally, Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in the Divisional Round and will face a long road back. It’s hard to see Seattle letting Walker go under those circumstances, but if he does become available, he immediately jumps to the top of Washington’s priority list.
