Walker rushed 27 times for 135 yards and brought in two of four targets for 26 yards during the Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Walker and the rest of the Seahawks' offense started the game off in relative modest fashion, but the star running back kickstarted his night in earnest when he ripped off 30- and 29-yard runs during Seattle's first possession of the second quarter. Walker would subsequently find fairly consistent running room against a typically stingy Patriots front seven, recording another four runs of seven or more yards. Walker also had a 49-yard touchdown run just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter that was nullified by an offensive holding penalty, but he handled his workhorse role, which also saw him record a 20-yard reception, with aplomb. Walker's exploits earned him the Super Bowl MVP and capped off an impressive three-game postseason run, one that saw him also record a 116-yard, three-touchdown effort in the divisional-round win over the 49ers and supplement his production on the ground with 104 receiving yards on nine receptions over the trio of contests.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Walker is "of course" a player that the team wants back in 2026, Jayna Bardahl of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker reciprocated Macdonald's sentiment Friday, saying he'd "definitely stay" in Seattle if a new deal can be worked out, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports. The impending free agent played in all 17 regular-season games in 2025, rushing 221 times for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns. He also secured 31 of 36 targets for 282 yards and has been a focal point of the Seahawks' offense throughout the postseason, especially with Zach Charbonnet (knee) having suffered an ACL tear in the divisional round. Walker will have another chance to impress with a workhorse opportunity in Sunday's matchup against the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

Walker rushed 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown while bringing in all four of his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.
EDGE Analysis
Walker took over as the Seahawks' clear No. 1 option out of the backfield after teammate Zach Charbonnet suffered a serious knee injury in last week's playoff win over San Francisco. The 24-year-old Walker failed to reproduce his three-score outing from the divisional round, but he still cracked the century mark in total yards while scoring his fourth rushing touchdown of the postseason. With no Charbonnet to cut into his touch share, Walker is primed to handle another heavy workload when the Seahawks face the Patriots on Feb. 8 in Super Bowl LX.

Walker is positioned as the Seahawks' clear backfield leader after head coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a season-ending injury during Saturday's divisional-round win over the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker opened Saturday's 41-6 postseason win over San Francisco handling his usual backfield split with Charbonnet. After Charbonnet was forced out in the second quarter due to what's now been revealed as a significant knee injury that will require surgery, Walker stepped into an expanded role and finished the day with 19 carries for 116 yards and three touchdowns, while also securing all three of his targets for 29 yards. Practice-squad elevation Velus Jones rushed six times for 10 yards, and both he and Cam Akers will be candidates to join the active roster and provide depth behind Walker during the NFC Championship Game against the Rams on Sunday. With Charbonnet out for the playoffs, Walker appears locked in for a workhorse role this weekend.

Walker rushed the ball 19 times for 116 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers. He added three receptions on three targets for 29 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Walker split work out of the backfield to begin the game, but he ultimately saw an expanded role after Zach Charbonnet (knee) left the contest late in the second quarter. Walker played a key role in icing away the game, ripping off three runs of more than 10 yards while also finding the end zone from seven, 15 and six yards away. This marked Walker's highest rushing total of the 2025 season, and his 19 carries matched his season high. He could be in for another significant workload in the NFC Championship Game, should Charbonnet remain sidelined.

Walker rushed the ball 16 times for 97 yards in Saturday's 13-3 win over the 49ers. He added four receptions on four targets for 36 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Walker worked in a nearly even split with Zach Charbonnet, but Seattle's run-heavy game plan allowed both to turn in strong performances. Four of Walker's rushing attempts went for double-digit yards, the longest of which was a 19-yard scamper late in the third quarter to convert on third down to keep a game-clinching drive alive. He also had three-plus receptions for the second time in his last three games while tallying his third-highest yardage total as a pass catcher on the season. While Walker will continue to work in a split with Charbonnet, the former has managed over 100 yards from scrimmage in two of the final three games to close the regular season. Finally, this performance pushed Walker over 1,000 rushing yards in the regular season, his first time achieving that threshold since his rookie year.

Walker carried the ball 15 times for 51 yards and caught both his targets for six yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
It was Zach Charbonnet's turn to post big numbers out of the Seattle backfield, as he delivered 110 rushing yards and two TDs while Walker played second fiddle. Walker will still head into a Week 18 clash with the 49ers needing only 70 rushing yards to reach 1,000 for the second time in his career, and with the Seahawks in line to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a win, he should get every opportunity to hit that milestone.

Walker rushed 11 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 64 yards in the Seahawks' 38-37 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Walker delivered quite the spark early in the second half, rattling off a season-high 55-yard touchdown run off right guard to erase what had been a 13-7 deficit. The performance marked Walker's second 100-yard effort of the season, and he also delivered a season-long 46-yard catch on his way to a season-high receiving yardage total. Walker outpaced backfield mate Zach Charbonnet by two carries and 68 rushing yards Thursday, but the two players are likely to remain in their usual narrow timeshare in a Week 17 road matchup against the Panthers on Sunday, Dec. 28

Walker was held to 17 yards on nine carries while catching his only target for two yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Walker managed to sink even deeper than last week's sub-30 yard showing against the Falcons by setting a new low in rushing yards in Sunday's win over the Colts. Zach Charbonnet (8-31-0) didn't fare much better in a game that featured no touchdowns for Seattle. That said, Walker's recent struggles could lead to fewer opportunities in the closing weeks if he can't turn things around against the Rams on Thursday Night Football.

Walker carried the ball 10 times for 29 yards and caught one of three targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 37-9 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
While he led the Seahawks' backfield in touches, Walker found little running room and Zach Charbonnet wound up pacing the team with 46 rushing yards. It was Walker's lowest yardage output since Week 1, but he has just one rushing TD over the last 10 games, managing 599 rushing yards on 4.6 yards per carry over that stretch. He'll try to break out in Week 15 against the Colts.
