Bears RBs Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer are all officially out for Sunday's game vs. Minnesota.

With at least some familiarity in the offense, Foreman can be considered an RB3 for desperate fantasy managers.

The Bears have re-signed RB Darrynton Evans off the Dolphins’ practice squad.

Normally a depth RB signing isn't big fantasy news, but keep in mind the Bears lost Herbert, Johnson and Homer during Thursday night’s win over the Commanders. We already know Herbert is going to miss some time but there are still questions about Johnson clearing concussion protocol and Homer with a hamstring injury. The Bears host the Vikings in an early game in Week 6, so it's a situation to monitor in what is a potentially favorable fantasy matchup.

Though Khalil Herbert is taking first-team reps during OTAs, the competition for the RB1 with the Bears includes D'Onta Foreman, Travis Homer, and fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson.

In the article, running backs coach David Walker was quoted as saying, “No one has earned a seat in that room yet, and they’re all going to earn their seats from what we do now until August whatever, whenever that third preseason game is,” Walker said. “So that’s the good thing and they know it. That’s been communicated to them.”

This makes the presumed "backups" more intriguing in fantasy drafts, as they are basically free at the moment. Roschon Johnson is coming off the board as the RB46 in the 13th round, while D'Onta Foreman is the RB51, in the 14th.

Pete Carroll says he expects Kenneth Walker III to play Saturday as well as DeeJay Dallas. Said Neal’s knee just didn’t bounce back this time.

If all is well with the backfield health, Ken Walker will return to his role of workhorse while Dallas and Homer split the leftovers. Walker can be considered an RB2 for Week 16.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said before practice Tuesday that Ken Walker was “a little sore coming out” and would not practice, and then seemed to imply it’s not certain that Walker will play against the Chiefs.

“We will see how this week goes,” Carroll said. “We have to give him every day to get back.”

Shortly after, it was revealed that the Seahawks had re-signed veteran Gallman to the practice squad, which is at least a sign they aren't sure of Walker's status for Week 16. Walker is dealing with what the team was calling a "jammed" foot, which caused him to miss Week 14's game. Seattle travels to KC in an early Saturday game so owners will be able to adjust lineups depending on Walker's status.

Carroll: RB Ken Walker is still tender after hernia surgery and there's no timetable for his return.

As the tweet went on to say, and as we reported after the surgery, Carroll previously said he expected Walker back for Week 1, so that seems like a potentially significant update that doesn't sound great for fantasy owners. Walker is missing valuable time with the team and so it looks like Penny will have much of the lead back work with Homer and Dallas serving as change of pace or passing down backs.

Seahawks star RB Chris Carson is retiring from the NFL due to a neck injury, sources say.

Seattle will officially release him with a failed physical designation. Under the CBA, that allows Carson to receive several million in injury protection benefits. Seattle does right by him, according to Rapoport. There were rumblings of this as far back as last year, given the nature of the injury. From a fantasy standpoint, this officially clears the way for Penny and Walker to take over a majority of the RB workload.

Seahawks RB Travis Homer was among six Seahawks players added to the team’s reserve/COVID list Sunday.

WR Tyler Lockett and RB Alex Collins were already on the list. So both the Seahawks and Rams were dealing with COVID issues, though it was more the Rams’ issues that caused their game to be pushed back to Tuesday. With no Collins or Homer, things really set up well for Rashaad Penny to really take control of the backfield in Seattle in a game the Seahawks absolutely have to have, but also now a chance for the Rams to pull even with the Cardinals atop the NFC West.
