Seakhawks RB Thomas Rawls not expected back for Week 9

Oct 31, 2016

Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls likely won't get back in the lineup for Seattle's Week 9 matchup with the Buffalo Bills next Monday night.

Last week Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said he hoped the second-year player could return for the first time since suffering a hairline fracture in his fibula in a Week 2 loss at Los Angeles. But in his weekly appearance on 710 ESPN Seattle, Carroll tempered expectations when asked if he believed Rawls could play against Buffalo in prime time.

"No, I don't," Carroll said a day after Seattle's 25-20 road loss to the New Orleans Saints. "I think he'll be running full-go during the course of this week, is what we're hoping."

Fantasy Impact:

According to Carroll, Rawls wasn't able to run as much as they would have hoped last week and still needs time to get back into football shape after last playing on Sept. 18.

“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.
