Chris Carson Fantasy Football Outlook (2018)

If the Seahawks really believed in Carson as much as they say they do, why did they use a first-round pick on Rashaad Penny? There are now three beat reporters who are saying that Carson is absolutely the starter, but that Penny will have a role. This is clearly a mess of a backfield that's behind one of the worst run-blocking units in football. Carson is a very risky pick, but one that costs a lot less than Penny, who is now slated to miss 3-4 weeks with a broken finger. If you're looking for an early-season running back, Carson is likely to fill that role.
