SEA RB Chris Carson - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Cowboys

Carson is 2/2 this season is recording a receiving touchdown. Whether that continues in Week 3 remains to be seen, but seeing him get 20 touches against the Patriots was a nice bounceback after he had 12 against the Falcons in Week 1. Dallas has actually been pretty decent against the run so far, allowing just 3.6 yards per carry on 74 carries in the first two games, which ranks 7th in the league. Seattle will at least try to get him in space again and it's those receiving skills that have him up high in PPR ranks, our No. 12 RB in half-PPR.

SEA RB Chris Carson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs Patriots

Carson only played 28 snaps against the Falcons, likely being on a pitch count as he continues to recover from his hip injury. Despite that, he still caught two touchdown passes in the win, catching all six of his targets for 45 yards. The Seahawks will keep Carlos Hyde involved in the running game, but Carson has enough juice in limited work to still warrant RB2 value, as he is our RB21 for this week, even against a solid Patriots defense.

SEA RB Chris Carson - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Chris Carson looks healthy and ready to go after a hip injury cost him the final regular season game against the 49ers and the Seahawks' playoff run in 2019. But if Seattle's mock game a few weeks ago is any indication, Carson is ready to rock. Head coach Pete Carroll said he has fresh legs and looks great. Carson will look to build on what has been two straight top-seven rushing finishes against a team he had 90 yards and a touchdown against in Week 8 last season. He's a solid RB2 option this week and 14th on our RB board.

SEA RB Chris Carson - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Chris Carson is coming off two straight top-seven rushing seasons, including a top-five result in 2019 with 1,230 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (he injured his hip during Week 16 and missed the rest of the season). Keep an eye on his hip, but he looks ready for 2020 and doesn't have much behind him to eat into his workload. Carlos Hyde is now in Seattle, but that won't be enough to keep the Seahawks from continuing to roll with Carson.

Fantasy Downside

The aforementioned hip concerns (as well as his durability in general) are worth monitoring. Carson also had fumble issues, totaling seven in 2019 and ten in the past two seasons. If those problems arise in 2020, Seattle would have no problem working Hyde into the offense even more. Carson would benefit from a healthy and turnover-free start to the season.

2020 Bottom Line

Carson currently sits as our No. 16 RB, which allows for plenty of upside with the rushing yardage he has posted in the past. Will he match his numbers from 2019? Maybe not, with the additions of Hyde and Greg Olsen. But among the backs he's sitting next to in fantasy, he arguably gives you more upside than guys like David Johnson or Leonard Fournette to name a few. He's a very solid RB2 option heading into drafts.

SEA RB Chris Carson - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Arizona
Chris Carson had another big game with 24 carries for 133 yards and two touchdowns. It was a season-high rushing yard and his sixth 100-yard rushing performance. Carson is getting even more touches with Rashaad Penny out. He has been a very potent offensive weapon for the Seahawks.

The Cardinals are up next and are ranked 29th in aFPA to running backs. Carson had 145 total yards from scrimmage in the first meeting with Arizona earlier this season. He should be in that range again with a favorable matchup and his recent production.

Start Carson as a top-five fantasy running back for Week 16 and expect 25 touches and 100+ yards in total offense.

SEA RB Chris Carson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Carolina
With Rashaad Penny out, Chris Carson should get even more touches. Penny had been coming on in recent weeks, and that worried Carson owners. Carson had 18 touches for 91 total yards last week.

Carson faces the Panthers who are 32nd in aFPA to running backs, With the fact that Carson will get even more touches and how running backs have had huge games against Carolina, this sets up to be a big game for Carson.

Start him as a top five fantasy running back for Week 15 and expect a big day with 20-25 touches and over 100 total yards.

SEA RB Chris Carson - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Rams
Chris Carson had a huge game last week rushing for 102 yards and a touchdown. It was his fifth 100+ rushing yard performance of the season, but only second in the past seven games.

Carson faces the Rams who are 14th in aFPA to running backs, They met earlier this season and Carson had 27 carries for 118 yards. This game will be at the Coliseum where the Rams have played better on defense.

Start Carson for Week 14 but only as a low-end RB2. The Seahawks have been getting Rashaad Penny more involved in the offense and that is taking away numbers from Carson.
