Fantasy Impact:

Carson suffered a fracture below his left knee after totaling 66 yards on 15 touches in the fourth quarter of the Sunday night win. As a result, he will miss an extended period, if not the remainder of the year. For the Seahawks running back situation moving forward, it is a crap shoot from a fantasy perspective. While Carson was pulling away as the RB1, Seattle's backfield will revert back to a RBBC approach until the next hot hand emerges. The likeliest of unlikeliest of names to emerge, however, is J.D. McKissic, who scored a pair of TDs on five touches in his second appearance in an NFL regular season game last night.
