D'Wayne Eskridge Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

SEA WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) and WR Dee Eskridge are both active Week 8.

As expected, Russell Wilson and Dee Eskridge have been activated from the IR to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. With Wilson back all Seahawks pass-catchers are expected to see a boost in their production. This is especially important for wide receivers D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett who suffered while Wilson was sidelined. Dee Eskridge is expected to see his first action since Week 1 and should slot in as the wide receiver 3/4 for the Seahawks.

Russell Wilson will be a full participant in practice Wednesday and is expected to start Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, while Chris Carson and Dee Eskridge returned to practice their status is still in question for this weekend. Carson would likely slot back into his role as the primary back for the Seahawks with Alex Collins and Rashaad Penny available to back him up. If Carson were to miss Collins would be the lead back with Penny and Travis Homer available to back him up. Dee Eskridge could see his first game action since Week 1 where he suffered a concussion but at this time is not expected to see enough snaps to be DFS relevant.

Chris Carson has officially been listed as questionable for Thursday while WR D'Wayne Eskridge has been listed as out. Carson is dealing with a neck injury and will be a game-time decision. If he is unable to go Alex Collins would step into the feature back role with Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas available to back him up. Collins would immediately become a top value play on the showdown slate. Eskridge will miss his 4th straight game while in concussion protocol meaning Freddie Swain will step into the WR3 role. Seattle's top two receivers (D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett) soak up almost all of the targets but it is possible for Swain to offer some value if he is able to haul in a few targets.

A huge question mark for the DFS slate will be Lockett, who was banged up last week due to a hip injury and was listed as questionable. Eskridge isn't expected to play either, so if Lockett sits, it could be thin behind D.K. Metcalf. Freddie Swain would be the second receiver likely, but Phillip Dorsett was signed to the practice squad and could be elevated if needed. Penny will sit once again, so Carson will be the main back, with Travis Homer and Alex Collins mixing in to spell Carson as needed. Metcalf would be one of the more popular plays if Lockett sits, and even if he plays should be counted on against a 49ers defense that has been struggling due to their decimated secondary.

Dee Eskridge has been ruled out for Sunday when the Seahawks are set to take on the Minnesota Vikings, Eskridge was expected to play a minimal role and his absence should not be a factor. The Seattle passing attack should continue to run through DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Penny and Eskridge were both listed as doubtful, and ultimately will sit against the Titans. Chris Carson will get a few more carries as a result, while Freddie Swain will likely play the third wide receiver role.

The Seahawks listed two players as doubtful, which was surprising for different reasons. Penny was expected to miss multiple weeks when his injury news first came out, so his doubtful tag is good news relatively (although not for this game). Eskridge meanwhile is in the concussion protocol and is unlikely to clear it by Sunday. The Seahawks offense was quite concentrated last game, as Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf, Gerald Everett, and Will Dissly played the majority of the snaps. Freddie Swain will likely play a few more now that Eskridge is expected to sit, but he shouldn't be in DFS consideration. With no Penny, Chris Carson becomes a better play, although Alex Collins and Deejay Dallas will still be around to steal some work.
