Eddie Lacy

Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls has been running with first team

When the Seahawks signed Eddie Lacy as a free agent this offseason, it seemed reasonable to conclude that they expected him to be the feature back. But Thomas Rawls has been running with the first team. During the first preseason game Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, Rawls was the starter, and Lacy came in with the second unit.

Related players: Chris Carson, C.J. Prosise

Fantasy Impact: 

The story said Lacy has passed all of his weight checks but hasn't looked impressive in camp, which could just be because of his running style. The piece also added Carson was perhaps the most impressive back in the preseason opener, even more than the stats indicated. The point of it all was the roles aren't quite defined yet for the Seattle backfield, but it seems to be a crowded one when Prosise is expected to get third down duty.

Seahawks Beat: Eddie Lacy favorite to be feature RB

Eddie Lacy vs. Thomas Rawls: Lacy is the favorite to be the team's featured back, but Rawls has a chance to make some noise with a strong summer. Rawls was fantastic as a rookie in 2015, piling up 830 yards and leading the league with a YPC average of 5.65. But last season he struggled through injuries and averaged just 3.20 YPC.

C.J. Prosise will be the third-down back and figures to be a big factor in the passing game. If he can prove he's durable, Prosise could carve out an even bigger role than anticipated.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's telling that the Seahawks aggressively pursued running backs in free agency, eventually landing Lacy. Both players will get touches, but how the workload is divided will be determined by how productive they are on the field, the story said.

Seahawks Beat: Eddie Lacy & Thomas Rawls 'take a fairly equal share' of early-down carries

Seahawks beat writer Bob Condotta:

Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise all are coming off of seasons when they had significant injuries and I think the Seahawks are going into the year just fine with the idea that they can spread the carries out and not have to count on anyone taking a Lynch-like share of the load.

My best guess, assuming they each are healthy, is Lacy and Rawls take a fairly equal share of the basedown carries with Prosise slated largely for a third-down role as well as being worked into the gameplan to take advantage of specific matchups from week to week.

Fantasy Impact: 

So it sounds as if it's a possibility that Lacy is splitting time with Rawls on 1st and 2nd down, and that would indicate that the Seahawks will use a full-blown running back by committee. Lacy ran well last year, but that's no guarantee that he'll live up to his current 7th round ADP.

Pete Carroll excited about healthy RB Thomas Rawls, TE Jimmy Graham

This offseason, Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham and RB Thomas Rawls are healthy and HC Pete Carroll seemed like he could hardly contain his excitement at that thought. As he also could have noted but didn’t, it’s also the first full offseason for each healthy and as a Seahawk. Two years ago, Rawls didn’t join the team until signing as an undrafted free agent following the draft while Graham was traded to the Seahawks in March.

But this year, each headed into the offseason with a clear understanding of what the team expects  and a full off-season to try to get that done.

Fantasy Impact: 

As Carroll noted, this time a year ago, Graham and Rawls were each limited in their offseason work, resigned to rehabbing from significant injuries that had knocked them out the year before. Rawls' fantasy value likely loses some luster with the signing of Eddie Lacy and the return of injured C.J. Prosise. It's the final year of deals for both Graham and Rawls.
