Seahawks look to get RB Chris Carson more carries

Sep 15, 2020

Chris Carson ended up tying a career high with six receptions and setting new career highs in receiving yards (45) and receiving touchdowns (the two scores, which also tied the most he’s had in any season).

But Carson, the team’s feature back coming off two 1,000-yard seasons, also tied a career-low with six carries for 21 yards, the fewest of his career, one fewer than free agent signee Carlos Hyde had Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Seattle’s backs had just 16 carries, fewer than Carson’s 18½ per-game average last season, the story said. Monday, HC Pete Carroll said to expect those numbers for both Carson and Hyde to go up as the season goes on, something that those who liked the way the offense was distributed against the Falcons — 35 passes and 20 runs overall — may flinch at a little bit. The story also said that it wasn't much of a surprise that Carson and Hyde split carries. That looks like it could continue, only with both backs getting more work than they did in Week 1.

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Green Bay Packers

yesterday · 6:48 PM EST

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
