Seahawks | C.J. Prosise should play Wed Aug 23, 05:45 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (groin) is expected to play in Week 3 of the preseason, according to running backs coach Chad Morton.
| Footballguys view: Prosise will likely get limited work with this groin injury. A fine pass-catching back, Prosise is quite interesting for fantasy owners in PPR leagues. Eddie Lacy and Thomas Rawls will compete for carries, but Prosise should get most of the receiving work out of the backfield. He's RB43 (9.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Alex Collins led all rushers with 10 carries and 58 yards while adding four catches for 35 more yards in Week 2 of the preseason against the Minnesota Vikings on Friday, Aug. 18. He also lost a fumble.
| Footballguys view: We've always liked Collins' natural instincts for running the ball, but he's got to hang onto the rock if he wants to make the team. |

Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (back, knee) sat out the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Friday, Aug. 18, due to back spasms, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: Just get Graham to the regular season and he will ball out. Graham is a TE1 for fantasy owners with a current ADP of TE5 (5.10) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Seattle Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise (groin) was held out of the preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings Friday, Aug. 18, due to a minor groin issue, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: A groin injury can linger if not given proper time to heal. Prosise is a dangerous weapon for Seattle's offense and he'll be competing for snaps with guys like Eddie Lacy and Thomas Rawls in the backfield. |

Link to story Seahawks | Thomas Rawls to miss preseason game Thu Aug 17, 03:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (ankle) will be sidelined for Week 2 of the preseason with a minor ankle ailment. RB Eddie Lacy will start in his place.
| Footballguys view: Rawls has been getting the number one back work, so here's a chance for Lacey to show he should be getting more of those reps. Lacey is already going off the board and drafts well before Rawls. Lacey's ADP is 73 overall (29 back taken) while Rawls is being selected as the 131 player overall (46 back selected). That makes this running back battle crucial to watch for anyone thinking of investing in the Seattle backfield. |

Seahawks | Paul Richardson ready by Week 1 Tue Aug 15, 05:43 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Paul Richardson (shoulder) will be good to go for Week 1 of the regular season, according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: Richardson suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 of the preseason. There's no denying his talent...or his long injury history. Richardson is competing as a reserve receiver and doesn't have much redraft fantasy value. We like him in dynasty leagues but these injuries keep his long-term outlook low. |

Seahawks | Doug Baldwin practicing again Tue Aug 15, 02:51 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (leg) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 15.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks are getting a bit healthier at the wide receiver position (Paul Richardson practiced too). Baldwin is underappreciated by some fantasy owners, but he shouldn't be. Grab him at the end of the second round in your draft and watch him push for WR1 numbers once again in 2017. |

Seahawks | Paul Richardson injures shoulder Sun Aug 13, 10:26 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Paul Richardson (shoulder) exited the preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a shoulder injury.
| Footballguys view: It's always something with Richardson. He's a freak athlete who can make crazy catches (see last year in the postseason), but Richardson has an injury history that reads like Infinite Jest dating back to his college days at Colorado. We love his 'wow' factor, but Richardson won't be a fantasy force unless he can shake his ever-present injury bug. |

Seahawks | Thomas Rawls the No. 1 running back? Wed Aug 9, 05:54 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls appears to be the clear No. 1 running back right now ahead of RB Eddie Lacy, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Lacy worked exclusively with the second-team offense in practice Wednesday, Aug. 9.
| Footballguys view: This is not reflected in current ADP, and would be a surprise after the Seahawks signed Lacy in the offseason. Perhaps it has to do with Lacy's recovery from ankle surgery, but that shouldn't be affecting him that much at this point since it happened in 2016. Rawls runs hotter than Lacy, and he might well hold onto this lead, with CJ Prosise also getting a lot of touches. Right now, Lacy should be avoided, Rawls looks like a value, and Prosise is a role player. |

Seahawks | Jimmy Graham fees much better Mon Aug 7, 04:13 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) said he feels almost 100 times better than he did at his point last year. Graham was rehabilitating from a ruptured patellar tendon twice a day to be prepared for games. Additionally, he is down to 260 pounds from around 280 pounds last season.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks figured out how to best use Graham last year and he snared 65 passes for 923 yards and six touchdowns - marks that made him the no2 fantasy TE in 2016. With better health, we should see a more productive Graham and a slam-dunk TE1 for fantasy owners once again this year. Graham has a current ADP of TE5 (6.03) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Chris Carson has been impressive in training camp, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune, and head coach Pete Carroll described Bell as a 'run-you-over running back.'
| Footballguys view: This is one to watch, not so much because we expect him to steal the job from Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls, CJ Prosise or Alex Collins but because if he does well and the team cuts him for a practice squad spot, another team could swoop in and grab him. In which case, he could have a chance to perform this season. |

Seahawks | Bigger role for Jimmy Graham? Sat Aug 5, 11:24 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham needs to see more opportunities in the red zone, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said Saturday, Aug. 5.
| Footballguys view: He took a big leap back to what he used to be in New Orleans with a 923 yard season in 2016, but his touchdown totals remained a bit low. So we want to see him get more chances in the red zone, and think that will translate to the end zone and scores. He's almost a bargain as he comes off the board as the 5th tight end in drafts, and if he can come close to double digit touchdowns this year, he will be a steal even at that high ADP. |

Seahawks | Trevone Boykin struggling Sat Aug 5, 12:50 AM
Seattle Seahawks QB Trevone Boykin has been struggling in training camp, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, and Condotta believes Seattle could bring in a veteran quarterback if Boykin doesn't improve.
| Footballguys view: If he continues to struggle will we hear Colin Kaepernick's name again? We're talking backups, which have little to no value in fantasy beyond as handcuffs. This is more out of curiosity in the ongoing Kaepernick saga. |

Seahawks | Tyler Lockett back at practice Fri Aug 4, 01:40 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (leg) was spotted with a helmet on and was fielding punts in practice Friday, Aug. 4, after beginning camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
| Footballguys view: Lockett appears to be on track to be healthy for Week 1. He's going in the second half of drafts despite having a lot of buzz at this time last year. He'll be a boom/bust weekly play but, he showed last year that the boom can be big enough to put you over the top as a flex play. |

Seahawks | Pete Carroll excited about Eddie Lacy Thu Aug 3, 09:51 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Eddie Lacy's results from his Aug. 1 weigh-in were not made public, but head coach Pete Carroll said he is 'fired up' about Lacy's conditioning.
| Footballguys view: So far so good for Lacy, who appears to be the favorite to lead the Seahawks backfield in touches. It probably won't be enough to be an RB1 like he was in Green Bay, but Lacy's ADP reflects that. |

Seahawks | Jimmy Graham wasn't all the way back Thu Aug 3, 11:05 AM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) had his knee managed by the team last season, according to head coach Pete Carroll, who thinks Graham could have a big year in 2017. 'We had to manage him the whole year,' Carroll said. 'He just kept hanging in there. He played in every game and didn't miss any time, but he wasn't at his best.'
| Footballguys view: Graham still had stretches where he looked like the player of old when he was a stud elite TE1 with the Saints. If he really is improved this year, it's great news for Russell WIlson, although this is a low volume pass offense and it could hurt the ceiling of Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett. |

Seahawks | Paul Richardson making a move Tue Aug 1, 11:47 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Paul Richardson is running ahead of Jermaine Kearse in two-receiver sets so far at training camp.
| Footballguys view: Kearse's blocking was one of his main assets over Richardson and Tyler Lockett, but the Seahawks could emphasize speed and playmaking in their wide receiver usage this year. Richardson flashed big talent in the playoffs last year and could be draftable if Tyler Lockett has a setback in his recovery from a broken leg. Either way, we shouldn't be surprised if Richardson's role is bigger this year. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (leg) could be removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list in a few days, according to head coach Pete Carroll. He participated in two workouts Tuesday, Aug. 1.
| Footballguys view: The PUP list in camp is not really a big deal as a player can come off at any time. If healthy, Lockett is a boom/bust big play receiver because of his run-after-the-catch ability. He's going off the board at WR63 (14.01) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Eddie Lacy is scheduled to be weighed again Tuesday, Aug. 1, and will receive a $55,000 bonus if he weighs 250 pounds or less.
| Footballguys view: Lacy has met the weight goals as the offseason has gone on, and it's difficult to imagine he would miss out on this weigh in after camp starts. Expect Lacy to be pushed for the starting job in training camp by Thomas Rawls, and fantasy owners need to know that C.J. Prosise is going to have a pass-catching role (at least) in this backfield too. |
