Chris Carson scores in Seahawks’ win.

It was a bad start for Carson as he returned to action after missing last Sunday with a hip injury, as he fumbled on Seattle’s opening drive to give Green Bay great field position to start the game. But it was good to see the Seahawks did not shy away from their starting running back, as he more than doubled the carries of Rashaad Penny (eight) and Mike Davis (four). Carson had 17 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown along with the fumble lost. The score came on a goal-line carry that he punched in pretty easily. The hip didn’t appear to give Carson any issues, but he’ll take this mini bye to get even healthier ahead of Week 12 versus the Panthers. The backfield situation could turn on a dime, but expect Carson to be a strong fantasy option as Seattle’s talented lead runner next week.

Aaron Rodgers, Packers fall to 4-5-1 with close loss in Seattle.

Rodgers was 21/30 for 332 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions in a 27-24 defeat, also adding a three-yard carry. Green Bay was able to enter halftime with a 21-17 lead as Rodgers connected with Robert Tonyan (54 yards) and Aaron Jones (24 yards) for his scores, but Seattle tightened up defensively in the second half before Russell Wilson threw the game-winning touchdown to Ed Dickson. The Packers will now at least be 2.0 games back in the NFC North after Chicago and Minnesota face off on Sunday night, but they at least have very winnable games down the stretch as they look to turn things around. Next week, though, won’t be so easy on the road against the Vikings, but Rodgers obviously remains a QB1.

Trent Taylor catches one pass in Week 10.

Taylor gained 12 yards on his lone reception against the Giants. The second-year receiver isn’t getting enough looks to be considered a strong fantasy option right now.

Russell Wilson throws two touchdowns in Seattle’s Thursday night win.

Wilson was 21/31 for 225 yards and two touchdowns along with five carries for 17 yards in the huge win against the Packers as the Seahawks improve to 5-5. Wilson started the game slow with a couple of missed throws including an overthrow to Doug Baldwin in the end zone, but he bounced back and played well throughout. It was another run-heavy approach for the Seahawks, with Wilson avoiding mistakes and making big plays with the game on the line late. The first score was to Doug Baldwin on a corner route in the red zone, and the second score was on a quick 15-yard pass up the seam to Ed Dickson for the game-winning score in the fourth quarter. This game extends Wilson’s streak to six straight with at least 18 standard fantasy points, and he’s simply playing really well right now. He’ll remain a QB1 option for Week 12 against Carolina.

Kendrick Bourne catches four passes against the Giants.

Bourne gained 33 yards on his four Week 10 receptions. He was mostly a target on quick in-breaking routes. Bourne is not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

Marquise Goodwin catches four passes in Week 10.

Goodwin gained 69 yards on his four receptions against the Giants, finishing behind tight end George Kittle for second-highest receiving total on the team. Goodwin left the game a couple of times after hits to the head, but thankfully he returned to the game both times and appears to be fine. The lighting-fast receiver has a bye then returns for a nice matchup in Week 12 against the Bucs, but he doesn’t need to be owned in fantasy leagues right now.

Jimmy Graham (thumb) is out for the rest of tonight’s game.

The fourth quarter just started, and Graham hasn’t been in the game since before the two-minute warning in the first half. This is unfortunate for the veteran tight end facing one of his former teams, but now we just have to hope this thumb injury doesn’t keep him out longer than tonight. Graham’s night ends with one reception for 13 yards.
