Seahawks trust Christine Michael

Seattle Seahawks running backs coach Sherman Smith insists that this time, there really is a change in Christine Michael.

During Michael's first stint with the Seahawks, the same questions were asked every summer: Is he willing to put in the work to be great? Will this be the year he finally gets it?

Last September, the Seahawks decided they were ready to pull the plug on the Michael experiment. He had spent two years with the team but was never able to earn the trust of the coaching staff. The Seahawks preferred their other options and traded Michael to the Dallas Cowboys for a seventh-round pick.

His run there ended in November when the team released him. The Washington Redskins signed Michael to their practice squad, but when the Seahawks suffered injuries at running back late in the season, they decided to bring him back.

Fantasy Impact: 

This summer, with Thomas Rawls on the PUP list and C.J. Prosise and Zac Brooks dealing with hamstring injuries, Michael has been the first running back on the field with the starters every day at practice, with fifth-round pick Alex Collins rotating in. We still think Rawls should be the team's RB1, but it would help if he can get back on the field. In the six games in which Rawls played and Lynch did not, the rookie averaged 20.5 touches for 120 yards and 0.84 touchdowns (on a stellar 5.6 YPC).

With Thomas Rawls out, Seahawks sorting out RBs

In the Seattle backfield, Christine Michael gets the first shot at running back, with Thomas Rawls on the PUP list, but there is a clear rotation with Alex Collins and Zac Brooks seeing plenty of opportunities with the starters.

C.J. Prosise tweaked his hamstring at the beginning of practice and is not participating in team drills. It will probably take until the beginning of the preseason to figure out which of the backs is inching ahead of the rest.

Fantasy Impact: 

Michael would seem to be the favorite to be first behind Rawls (assuming he's the starter) based on his second tour of duty with the team last year and playing pretty well. But there are some other names to keep an eye on as long as Rawls remains out.

Seahawks Beat: RB C.J. Prosise will have 'a very specific and important role" in the offense

The Seahawks view the third-down back as a very specific and important role, and all signs point to C.J. Prosise having that role. If Thomas Rawls and Alex Collins end up being 1-2 on the depth chart as the first- and second-down back, so to speak—though don’t count Christine Michael out in that battle—Prosise would still have a significant role in the offense in passing situations and in the hurry up offense, similar to how the Seahawks used Fred Jackson last season.

Fantasy Impact: 

Jackson averaged 2.0 catches per game last season, so the Seahawks' third-down back isn't necessarily a role where fantasy owners can find a startable PPR back on the cheap.

Jimmy Graham

Pete Carroll updates the status of RB Thomas Rawls and TE Jimmy Graham

Running back Thomas Rawls will be ready for the start of the season, tight end Jimmy Graham could be, and the Seahawks did not like the idea of two personal fouls resulting in an ejection.

On how Thomas Rawls is doing in his recovery: “He’s doing really well. He should be fine and we anticipate that he’ll be fully recovered and ready to go at least by the time the season starts and hopefully by camp. Thomas had a terrific season. He just came out of nowhere and most people, they didn’t have any idea what he was going to do. He brought us attitude and style of play that we like. He was really physical and really tough, so we’re thrilled to have him coming back and we need to get him some help. Christine Michael re-signed with us which is a good thing; Christine did his best job of playing football for us in the short stint that he had. So those two guys will be the one-two punch right now and we’ll see where we go from there.”

On Jimmy Graham: “I’m communicating with Jimmy regularly. He should be fine. It is a substantial recovery. He’s doing great and he’s doing everything he needs to do, and he’s really competitive about it. We’re anticipating that he’ll come back and again we hope to have him by the start of the season. We’ll see how it goes as far as camp and all of that, but he’s an incredible football player and a great team member and we’re thrilled to have him on our club. We were just getting going with Jimmy last year, so we’ll be really excited to get him back in the lineup.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Carroll sounded more optimistic about Rawls being ready for camp than he did of Graham. With Marshawn Lynch out of the way, Rawls is first in line for workhorse back duties given his performance in 2015. In the six games in which Rawls played and Lynch did not, the rookie averaged 20.5 touches for 120 yards and 0.84 touchdowns (on a stellar 5.6 YPC). That doesn't even include Week 3, when he turned 16 carries into 104 yards while Lynch was limited to five carries. Michael may form a "1-2 punch" with Rawls but we expect that Rawls will get the clear majority of the carries.
