Draft note

by John Paulsen

Carson is the 18th back off the board in the late third, making him a good option for owners who don’t draft more than one back with their first two picks but want more of a floor than (perhaps) Mike Davis or Myles Gaskin can provide. Carlos Hyde has moved on, so Carson should see an uptick in carries, even if his catches fall off a bit. In his last 27 games, he has averaged 18.2 touches for 91.3 yards and 0.66 touchdowns.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny (calf) to at least miss Week 2

ESPN

Sep 14 · 4:14 PM EDT

The Seattle Seahawks fear running back Rashaad Penny will miss this weekend's game against the Tennessee Titans and possibly longer because of a calf injury, coach Pete Carroll said Monday.

Related players: Chris Carson, Alex Collins, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer.

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll added it's going to take some time to figure out how long Penny will be out. Carson will continue to carry the big workload but the question is who takes over the RB2 job. Collins was inactive Week 1 and it's expected the job will go to Dallas. With Penny likely to miss multiple weeks, Dallas may be worth a stash if you have room on your roster.

SEA RB Chris Carson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Vikings

With Rashaad Penny out, Seattle gave Chris Carson 34 offensive snaps (out of 54), 14 to Travis Homer, and just six to Alex Collins. So, as if it wasn't clear already, this is Carson's backfield. He only totaled 31 yards (including not a single target in the passing game) but found the end zone twice. This week, he gets Minnesota, who are coming off allowing 103 rushing yards on 21 carries between Chase Edmonds, Kyler Murray and James Conner. That, and Carson's usage, puts him on the borderline of RB1 territory this week. Carson has also scored a touchdown against the Vikings in three straight games.
