BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson entered Week 9 having rushed for over 100 yards in three of Seattle’s last four games. He also appeared to have secured a clear role as the Seahawks’ RB1, as uneasiness surrounding the potential for Pete Carroll to randomly alter the backfield’s workload distribution had largely dissipated. However, Carson's latest injury (thigh) suddenly elevated Mike Davis into an expanded role during the team’s Week 9 matchup with the Chargers.
Davis capitalized by amassing 107 total yards on 22 touches, and his highly productive performance vaulted him back into a spot of significance within the fantasy landscape. Carson entered the contest as a game-time decision due to his hip issue and has also contended with multiple injuries during the year. Davis remains capable of generating yardage whenever Carson is sidelined, which should compel owners to add Davis in any leagues where he remains available.
