Seahawks Beat: RB Christine Michael's early play could determine workload

Will it be like past years when Marshawn Lynch took most of the carries or will Chrinstine Michael still get significant work?

The answer — as boring as it sounds — is that how Michael plays the first few weeks will likely dictate things greatly. If he continues to play as he did in the preseason then the Seahawks will have to find ways to get him out there.

But if Rawls is clearly the better of the two, then there’d be no reason not to hand him the ball as often as possible.

All of which means it’s hard to know yet if Rawls will dominate the carries the way Lynch did when healthy.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Seahawks also have rookies C.J. Prosise and Alex Collins on the roster at tailback. But Prosise seems headed initially for a role mostly as a third-down back. HC Pete Carroll went as far as saying Rawls and Michael will form a 1-2 punch, but more recent reports said Rawls will be the lead guy. It's a situation to monitor especially early on as Rawls tries to get back to full speed.

Carroll: 'No question' RB Thomas Rawls ready for Week 1

The Seahawks enter the season without Marshawn Lynch for the first time since 2010. That's not good news. The good news is that they already managed to find a suitable replacement in Thomas Rawls, who burst onto the scene last year when Lynch battled injuries.

The even better news: Rawls' recovery from a broken ankle, which ended his season last December, is going along as planned. On Wednesday, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll confirmed that Rawls will be out there for the Seahawks' season opener against the Dolphins two Sundays from now.

"He continued to have a great week," Carroll said, per ESPN. "There's no question that he looks to be able to play in the opener."

Fantasy Impact: 

The big question is will there be some kind of split with Rawls and Christine Michael in the backfield. Michael seems to have turned the corner in his career and had a very good preseason leading Carroll to call the duo a "one-two punch" at one point in camp. Rawls hasn't played in the preseason but could in the team's final contest. Either way, he could be eased into things if he is active Week 1.

Colts Beat: Robert Turbin 'looks like the likely No. 2 back' in Indy

Robert Turbin looks like the likely No. 2 back for the Colts. It’s a job he’s performed before (behind Marshawn Lynch in Seattle) and feels he’s perfectly suited for.

When it comes to Josh Ferguson, the promise he offered coming into the season has not translated thus far. The Colts had extremely high hopes for him after signing him as an undrafted free agent from Illinois, but he has been frustrating to watch rushing for 9 yards on 13 carries this preseason. That’s not to say he had wide running lanes; the run blocking has been lacking, at best. But throw in the fact that Ferguson has had a couple of missed assignments as a pass protector and one could argue he faces an uphill climb against the veterans.

But the Colts still love Ferguson’s potential.

“He’s a third down match-up nightmare,” Chuck Pagano said.

Related players: Frank Gore

Fantasy Impact: 

Ferguson hasn't carried his OTA momentum into camp or into the preseason games, so he's fallen behind Turbin, apparently. Turbin is a career 4.0 YPC journeyman who can hold down the fort if anything happens to Gore.

Seahawks Beat: Christine Michael has 'fooled fans before'

Seahawks running back Christine Michael is as sprightly as can be these days, and there are two potential reasons: 1) He has developed into a dependable ball-carrier who can consistently produce at an NFL level; and 2) It’s August.

Let’s not pretend we haven’t seen this before. Summertime in Seattle generally is when Michael mutates into Emmitt Smith.

In 2013 he blitzed through the preseason, racking up 201 yards on 40 carries. In June 2014, he prompted offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell to declare that the Seahawks’ offense will be “running back by committee,” even though Marshawn Lynch had spearheaded a Super Bowl win a few months earlier. And on Saturday, Michael’s 44 yards on seven carries in a preseason win at Kansas City got Pete Carroll to say that Michael and Thomas Rawls would be the “1-2 punch” in Seattle’s backfield this year.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story went on to say a few interesting things - the optimist might be compelled to believe this finally will be the year Michael, 25, tracks down his potential and becomes a mainstay in an NFL offense. The realist, on the other hand, would be compelled to ask: How is this any different? But, the story quoted HC Pete Carroll as saying Michael was a loose cannon before, but has now grown up. Michael has got a lot of positive press lately and it has Rawls owners in a bit of a panic. The point of this story seems to be don't count on a committee or a 1-2 punch in the Seahawks backfield just yet. Also keep in mind the Seahawks drafted three running backs in April.
