Redraft Target Round: Late round selection
Analysis: Prosise was another running back drafted in the third round of the NFL Draft. It was a bit surprising, as other talented prospects were still on the board, but the Seahawks wanted a specific type of running back and Prosise fit the bill. He’s going to have a role from day one for Seattle, but no one knows the full extent of how much he will be playing early in his career.
Prosise will have an immediate role for the Seahawks, as he has elite receiving skills for a running back. He played wide receiver in his first two years at Notre Dame before moving to running back once their team was decimated by injuries. Prosise will be the third down back for the Seahawks his rookie season, but they have also been using him at wide receiver early this offseason. It wouldn’t be shocking to see Prosise see time in the slot, and he will likely be used in a similar way as Theo Riddick.
It’s tough to believe Prosise will ever be a featured back because of Thomas Rawls, but Prosise has the type of talent to push Rawls for the most touches on the team in a few years. It is much safer to guess that Prosise will be used in the mold of Riddick throughout his career. With that being said, Prosise is a more talented player than Riddick, and that will likely be his floor with the chance to be a significantly better fantasy asset than Riddick has ever been. Prosise will make a great pick in PPR dynasty leagues, but he won’t be a nearly as great of an option in non-PPR leagues.
