Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker accounted for eight rushing attempts for 88 yards and one touchdown in Week Five's game against the New Orleans Saints.
With Rashaad Penny out for the season with a broken fibula, Walker recorded his best performance in his first NFL season including an electric 69-yard touchdown run. Now with an elevated opportunity as Seattle's clear lead back, the Seahawks' rookie should be a priority among all waiver candidates in Week 6 when evaluating his 47% and 47.5% roster percentage in Yahoo and ESPN season-long leagues.
On 23 rushing attempt this season, Walker has recorded 2.83 yards after contact per carry and a 61.6% break-away percentage.
