Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (fibula) to miss 'a few weeks'

Sep 26, 2016

Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls fibula injury is more serious than the Seahawks initially thought, according to HC Pete Carroll.

Carroll said Rawls will be out for a few weeks.

Ian Rapoport reported it's a hairline fracture.

Fantasy Impact:

Rawls' likely absence means it will be the Christine Michael show for the next few weeks. Michael resigned with the Seahawks late last season after Rawls broke his ankle; he had been traded to and released by the Cowboys earlier in the year. The Seahawks spoke during the preseason of a "reawakening" for Michael, and he's looked excellent in the early going of the season.

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.
