Despite Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny's Career Day Last Week, OC Says RB Chris Carson "is Our Guy"
Though Penny had a dominant performance last week when he got a lot of work after Carson fumbled, Seahawks OC Brian Schottenheimer reiterated Friday that Carson is their “guy” as reported by Seahawks reporter Gregg Bell. Carson and Penny could see their ownership reversed, but this coach speak provides reason for optimism that Carson will still be the bell-cow in one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL on Monday night.

Brown may be active for Monday night’s game against the Vikings. He is likely to only see a few targets if he plays and is nothing more than a GPP flier in Showdown contests.
As reported by: Ben Arthur Eagles TE Zach Ertz (Hamstring) to Test Injury Out Pregame and is Likely to Play, TE Josh Perkins Brought Up from Practice Squad
Ertz has been extremely productive his past three games, with 288 yards, two TDs, and 30 receptions. WRs Alshon Jeffrey and Nelson Agholor are likely to be active against the Dolphins on Sunday, so Ertz should have more room to operate despite a potential decrease in target share. Though Ertz is priced up due to his recent success, he is a viable GPP option tomorrow, especially in stacks with Carson Wentz. The Eagles have one of the highest implied team totals on Sunday in a game they must win to continue to contend in the NFC East.

Howard, a 2019 first-round draft pick, played well his rookie season. Deshaun Watson, who takes a lot of sacks, is likely to see increased pressure without Howard on the field.
As reported by: Ian Rappaport Lions Sign QB Kyle Sloter Off of the Cardinals' Practice Squad
The Lions signed Sloter in the wake of Driskel’s season-ending injury. Sloter will likely back up David Blough until Matthew Stafford returns from his back ailment.

Clowney, Reed, and Woods are all expected to play despite appearing on the Seahawks’ final injury report. Their availability will help the Seahawks try to slow down stud RB Dalvin Cook and pressure QB Kirk Cousins on Monday Night Football.
As reported by: Brady Henderson Seahawks TE Luke Willson is Questionable for Monday Night Football
Willson will play alongside Jacob Hollister in two-tight end sets on Monday night if he is able to suit up. Even if he is active, Willson makes for nothing more than a dart throw in Showdown GPPs.
As reported by: Brady Henderson Other tagged players: Jacob Hollister Dalvin Cook (Chest) Practices Fully Friday
Cook practiced fully Friday and will play Monday. He appears to be fully healthy and ready to return to his normal 20+ touch workload.
