We have a usurper on our hands! Really time to pay attention now!!!
Agreed has been the only Seattle RB to make anything happen on the ground.

Carsons 30 yard run inscresed his YPC, but visually, he was easily the best looking back anyways. I'm hoping he can win a bellcow role.

What kind of pick would you sell Carson for after seeing how he may be used throughout the year?

I like Carson; but was leery on taking him with that crowded SEA backfield. Since I already owned Lacey, it made sense for me to draft Carson as my 2017 last round flier. Time will tell if I end up with anything from either of those two.

Seattle has a history of letting production and performance dictate playing time. As a Rawls owner I painfully agree he is injury prone. Carson looks like the better back. Regardless they need to fix that line.

This week should be really telling, I hope. I picked him up in most of my leagues for around 20% BBD, but I passed on a trade to get him for Decker in a best ball. I hope I don't regret it.

I mean, Seattle's line still sucks and he's still a 7th rounder with multiple other quality backs rostered with him. I'm not ready to break the bank for him yet.

Carson looks better than Rawls? I'd definitely disagree.

Would definitely prefer Carson over decker, who's probably playing his last year. Even in best ball.

I'm planning on starting him Week 3. Am I crazy for this?

Is it too early to start Carson, or was there some truth to statements that they weren't rushing Rawls back to action?

I own him everywhere, even redraft. It pays to be an offseason degenerate :dance:

It increases every week. I was willing to sell for a third at the end of the preseason. Offered him for a 2018 2nd and 2019 3rd last week. Now I want to hold him because production is hard to come by and if he stays healthy, it's clear his value at the end of the season will vastly outpace what it is now. Plus people are irrational about RBs, they love RBs and a RB going into only his second season as the clear one in Seattle is very desirable to me.

Pretty incredible how Seattle runs their backfield, what a minefield.

Is it though? I went to bat against the whole world that Rawls was overvalued and would be replaced when he was ranked dynasty RB9. And I traded FOR him his rookie preseason. They look for cheap talent and they just found it. Unlike Rawls, Carson isnt 5'9 so his body can likely hold up better to physical play. Also, Rawls has always been slow, just has good cuts and a punishing style. If Carson keeps playing like this, they will ride him.
