Aug 26, 2009

Seahawks coach Jim Mora and his newest running back, Edgerrin James, spoke with reporters following practice.

James' role. Mora repeatedly used the word "complementary" to describe James' anticipated role. He said Julius Jones would be the "workhorse" back. James said he was not here to "compete" with Jones. The two played catch for a while during practice. James said he was picking Jones' brain in an attempt to get up to speed.

Releasing Duckett. The Seahawks preferred James to T.j. Duckett, who was released, because the coaching staff determined Duckett was more of a role player at this point. The team felt as though James was better prepared to serve as a complementary back, not just a situational one.

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.
