Chris Carson Week 15 Outlook -

So much for Carson losing the grip on the starting job. Rashaad Penny injured his ACL early in the first quarter against the Rams, allowing Carson to rack-up 19 touches in the losing effort. There's not a better spot to bounce-back for the entire Seahawks offense than heading out to play the Panthers, a team that's allowed at least 29 points to each of their last four opponents. Injuries on the defensive line haven't helped, but they've been torched by running backs all season, allowing a league-leading 30.0 PPR points per game to the position. They've allowed 21.8 of those points per game on the ground (no other team has allowed more than 18.4), which is right in Carson's wheelhouse. Let's do the math: Carson averages 18.9 carries per game while the Panthers allow 5.34 yards per carry. Carson has totaled at least 15 carries in 12-of-13 games while the Panthers have allowed a rushing touchdown every 14.0 carries. It doesn't take a mathematician to know that Carson's set-up for a crush spot in Week 15. He needs to be in lineups as an elite RB1 play this week.
