6 years agoSeattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson was "gassed" from playing special teams in Monday night's loss to the Bears, which is why he didn't touch the ball at all on offense in the second half. The team also wanted to see what rookie Rashaad Penny could do, too. It seems a bit fishy, but perhaps the Seahawks just wanted to change thing up after not doing anything at all on offense in the first half. Carson had six carries for 23 yards and didn't catch a single pass. This comes a week after Carson made strides as the lead back over Penny. The biggest obstacle to Carson's production is Seattle's terrible offensive line and inability to move the ball consistently. If he now has to deal with more of a committee backfield, he won't be a very attractive fantasy option. Seattle's backfield is looking like one to avoid.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
