Seahawks moving towards a RBBC

Jun 04, 2014

According to Terry Blount of ESPN.com, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said the Seahawks will spread the carries around more this fall.

“We are going to be running back by committee,” Bevell said at a Town Hall event for season ticket holders. “

One of the reasons Seattle would be more open to a committee at running back is due to second-year back Christine Michael.

Michael essentially redshirted for the Seahawks last season. He was Seattle’s first draft selection last year, being selected with the 62nd overall pick of the 2013 draft. However, he was active for just four games as the Seahawks preferred the stability of Lynch and backup Robert Turbin.

But Michael’s combination of speed and power still has the Seahawks intrigued and he is expected to have a bigger role this season.

“We really like what Christine Michael is doing right now,” Bevell said.

Fantasy Impact:

Seahawks RB coach Sherman Smith said earlier in the offseason that there was a "drop off" and that Lynch would continue to be the bell cow, but it appears that Michael has changed his offensive coordinator's mind with good play in practice.

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.
