ANALYSIS: As we approach Week 14, we're still short on clarity when it comes to the Seattle Seahawks backfield situation. It figures to be a wild ride for fantasy managers.
Incumbent 'Hawks starter Kenneth Walker III was injured in Week 13's contest against the Los Angeles Rams and has yet to practice this week with a bruised ankle. Meanwhile, Walker's backup, DeeJay Dallas, was also injured in Sunday's game against the Rams and has not participated in practice this week.
With both Walker and Dallas currently sidelined, eyes are turning to Travis Homer, another member of Seattle's backfield stable. Homer missed Week 13 with an injury of his own but was able to get in a limited practice on Wednesday.
There are certainly a lot of moving parts with this situation, as fantasy managers are trying to parse out not one, not two, but three different injuries to three different Seattle running backs.
While we're likely nowhere near the finish line, Homer would appear to be the back that's currently in the lead, as he's the only one that's been able to practice in any capacity this week and seems to be the healthiest of the bunch as of now.
Homer hasn't been on the field much this season and has produced 147 total yards with a score in limited 2022 action. With the current uncertainty surrounding the Seattle backfield, aggressive fantasy managers can roll the dice on Homer, as he would be in for a huge workload in a terrific matchup against the Carolina Panthers should Seattle's other backs be unable to suit up in Week 14.
