So you're telling me there's a chance! Chris Carson Edition ***POLL***

[bjd5211]

I remember trading him to my dad right before the 2017 season and thinking I got the best of the deal.

I gave: Carson + Golladay

I got: Corey Davis

That went great for me...

Do any of the other backs in Seattle become interesting or worth adding with the Penny injury?

(I don’t know the timeline for an ACL year, will Penny be back by the start of next season?)

Travis Homer?
CJ Prosise?

Likely will miss all offseason and preseason with the injury coming so late in the year. He might have limited work a week or two before the season kicks off, but I wouldn't count on meaningful work until week 4 or so. Really hoping they don't bring him back too early

Back to my baby of a thread. One of the most disrespected players in NFL history. All he has done is go hard. 2 TDs in the first half today. Last two seasons he put up 2800 yards and 18 TDs.

Still consensus dynasty ranked 25 rb in this sites rankings. Below Anthony Montgomery, Drake, every rookie RB including Akers and Gibson, Hunt, etc. Smh. I understand he has had injuries, he runs hard. All he has done is produce. Nice to have gotten him essentially free everywhere. See if his legs hold up this year

Drafted in the 7th round....people don’t respect his draft capital. I’m with you though. At some point you have to figure results > resume.

I would be happy if he was my RB2. I would be worried but happy with the production of him as my RB1, Seattle is just too "hot-hand"-centric for me to be comfortable relying on anyone in that backfield for the long-term. Great for real life, not great for fantasy

You’ve been living in a fantasy land. The only years where Seattle floundered at RB were 2015-2017 between Lynch and Carson. His name is Christine Michael -also known as- a 3 year waste of a 2nd round investment for the Seahawks and probably most fantasy owners.... This is a great example of people waiting for the bottom to fall out.....and then it doesn’t. He has consistently been the guy since 2017 and every year we come up with some poor excuse to underrate him.

If you're a contender - consider buying Chris Carson - if his usage in Week I continues - he'll likely be a goldmine. Hes currently outtouching Gibson & Ekeler and likely will cost 25-50% less (if not a bigger discount).

Carson vs Collins today-
Run- 13/30/0 vs 10/44/1
Rec (target/catch/yards/TD)- 1/1/1/0 vs 2/2/34/0

Collins getting more touches than he did from weeks 1-3 combined can be dismissed as an aberration, but Carson's reduced efficiency is the bigger concern in my book.

Carson doesn't have the breakaway speed so he's always had the looming threat, then he shakes it off and produces.

I agree with this, he had a good game week 1, and we're still early on so without trying to overreact, he's been pretty TD dependent over the last few games and it seems his usage as a receiver has gone down significantly since last season.

Carson is a solid back for fantasy. problem I have with him is consistency. If he doesn't have a big run, or a TD your probably not getting much. And im not taking the big plays away from him, just that your not gonna hit those big plays every game, and thats where you get games where he rushes for 30 yards and essentially nothing else.

Not a bad RB if he's your 2nd or 3rd, don't think your competing if he's leading your backfield though

My concern is, with limited passing work, his ceiling is so TD based. Through 4 weeks-
54 for 232 rush, 3 TDs
6 targets, 6 catches, 29 yards

Depending on league scoring, that's about RB26. I couldn't see wanting that RB production as my #2. Maybe, maybe #3- I have a contender in an RB heavy league with two studs but Pollard/Latavius/E Mitchell as the best options behind them and I wouldn't target Carson.
