Fantasy fallout: NFL backfields in motion

Nobody has a more stacked lineup of fantasy analysts and NFL team reporters than ESPN. It's the rare "backfield by committee" that is actually a good thing for fantasy football managers.

Every Tuesday, Mike Triplett will ask our NFL Nation reporters a series of burning questions about the weekend's biggest stories in order to help inform you for your waiver-wire pickups and roster decisions.

This week, we focused solely on running backs, with so many premium fantasy draft picks dealing with unexpected timeshares or injuries. It's fair to be concerned that Seattle's Chris Carson and Philadelphia's Miles Sanders will keep losing touches to Alex Collins and Kenneth Gainwell, but there is actually a glimmer of hope that Myles Gaskin can eventually find his footing in Miami.

It's time to begin our weekly trip around the league, so fasten your seat belts and get ready to tour the NFL Nation!


Seattle Seahawks

Should Chris Carson's fantasy managers be concerned by how much he split touches with Alex Collins on Sunday? Is Collins worth adding in fantasy?

It should be at least a little concerning, yes. While Carson is still the clear-cut No. 1 option, Collins should earn more snaps in a complementary role after the much-needed spark he gave the Seattle offense on Sunday.
