Walker left Sunday’s game against the Broncos late with what was called an abdomen injury at the time. Since then, they’ve specified that it’s an oblique injury for the Seahawks running back, which ultimately kept him from practicing to open the week. Walker told reporters that he felt ‘great’ despite missing practice, which would seem to suggest that there shouldn’t be too much concern regarding his status for Week 2 at this time. On deck are the Patriots, who allowed Zack Moss to have a serviceable day against them even in a low-scoring game against the Bengals in Week 1. Fantasy managers should expect Walker to be available at this point, but having a backup plan in place in the event that he’d miss the game isn’t a bad idea. Zach Charbonnet is rostered in just over 50% of leagues and should be pursued on the waiver wire if Walker would continue to miss practices and end up trending in the wrong direction. However, expectations should be tempered in what very well could become another low-scoring matchup (just a 41.5 point over/under).
