Kenneth Walker III had missed the last two games with an oblique injury but was dominant on his season debut.
Against the Denver Broncos, he overcame a slow start to explode for 103 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He's expected to resume his chemistry with Zach Charbonnet, who has been fairly dominant in his own right, accumulating 129 yards and three touchdowns on 32 carries in two games started.
However, that will prove a test against a Lions front seven that boasts breakout defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and a monstrous linebackers trio of Alex Anzalone and Jack Campbell.

David Montgomery should need no introduction. As a part of a "thunder and lightning" duo with Jahmyr Gibbs, he has been a crucial part of the Lions' offense.
When he has 100 yards or close to it, the team wins (Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals). When he has not, they lose (Tampa Bay Buccaneers). And preventing that big number will be the main objective of the Seahawks' front seven.

Once again, the SK start/sit optimizer foresees Montgomery getting in a close fight, But ultimately, he prevails as the one to pick over Walker despite losing in the running game - thanks to his higher projected receiving potential.
It cannot be understated how greatly Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes value him. He was one of the few bright spots on the Chicago Bears' offense when it was a world of struggles, and the Lions greatly found the benefits of having him on their roster.
Alongside Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta, he represents an invaluable weapon for Jared Goff to feed.
