Expert
Mike Tagliere FantasyPros	We don't know how this backfield will shape out, but it's hard to see the Seahawks taking the starting job away from Carson after the year he just had. With that being said, health can be a question mark after he suffered a season-ending hip injury that forced him to miss the playoffs last year. When you add in Hyde and the fact that they drafted a running back (DeeJay Dallas) in the fourth round, it's clear they were preparing for the worst. The Falcons could be described as an average defense last year, as they were around the league average in every major statistical category to running backs: rush attempts (20th), rushing yards (19th), rushing touchdowns (24th), receptions (19th), and receiving yards (23rd). It makes sense that Carson totaled 90 total yards and a touchdown against them in last year's meeting. He was one of 14 running backs who posted top-16 numbers against them. There were three running backs who totaled 100 yards on the ground last year, though nobody was able to eclipse 111 rushing yards. With Hyde on the roster, it's possible they do some sort of 60/40 split, which would hurt both Carson's floor and ceiling. I don't see the Seahawks blowing out the Falcons (neither do oddsmakers), which would play more into Carson/Dallas' role than Hyde's, as Hyde isn't a good pass-catcher. I feel Carson should be considered a mid-to-high-end RB2 in this game who has a little bit more touch concerns than he did in 2019, though not enough to move him out of RB2 territory, especially in a projected high-scoring game. There's a good chance he scores here, though I wouldn't bank on it with cash games now that Hyde's in the mix.
Jacob Wayne Lineups	All offseason long, we've heard about how Rashad Penny or Carlos Hyde or rookie DeeJay Dallas is going to steal work from Chris Carson. Sure, Carson might not be the flashiest guy or the most exciting player to draft. He's as consistent as they come, though, as the lead back in one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL. Against a weak Falcons' defense in Week 1, he's a strong RB2 or a low-end RB1.
Kyle Yates FantasyPros	Carson appears to be fully ready to go for week one of the 2020 NFL season. With no Rashaad Penny hanging over his shoulder, Carson becomes an extremely intriguing play right out of the gates. He should see a ton of work on the ground in this one and there are going to be plenty of scoring opportunities available. Carson's a solid RB2 start this week with tremendous upside.
Derek Lofland FantasyPros	The Falcons were 11th against fantasy running backs, Carson is a RB2 on the road in a matchup with a Falcons team that overachieved against the run last year.

Chris Carson or Darrell Henderson
