C.J. Prosise

We were only able to see 47 touches for the rookie in 2016, but they were extremely impressive, netting 380 total yards and a touchdown. The concern is that the Seahawks brought in Eddie Lacy, as they were clearly unhappy with the health of their running backs last year. With the versatility that Prosise offers, it shouldn't shock anyone if he gets 10-12 touches out of the gate. If he can stay healthy, Pete Carroll will find ways to utilize him in the passing game.

C.J. Prosise, Thomas Rawls to compete for starting job

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll made it "clear" that Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise will "compete" for the starting running back job in 2017.

Fantasy Impact

It appears that Rawls is not a shoe in to enter 2017 as Seattle's starting running back. Impending sophomore Prosise is expected to compete with Rawls for the top spot on the depth chart. As Rawls struggled for most of the 2016 season, Prosise, when healthy, was a stud, especially in the passing game. He caught 17 targets for 208 yards in six games. Due to their respective skill sets, expect Rawls to enter next season as Seattle's early down back, with Prosise garnering the role of the team's third-down back and primary receiver out of the backfield.
