Carroll: Marshawn Lynch 'should be on track' for Week 6

Oct 12, 2015

Pete Carroll is optimistic that Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will return this week, although he stopped short of making any guarantees.

"Supposed to be back," Carroll said. "He had a good workout today, and he should be on track for Thursday."

Lynch (hamstring) has missed consecutive games for the first time since joining the Seahawks. He did not travel with the team to Cincinnati last weekend.

Fantasy Impact:

Rookie Thomas Rawls has played well in Lynch's absence, averaging 5.6 YPC on 58 attempts. Carroll indicated that Rawls will still be a part of the offense even if Lynch returns. The Seahawks take on the undefeated Carolina Panthers at home on Sunday.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
