The Seattle Seahawks signed running back Bo Scarbrough to their practice squad on Wednesday. Seattle has been missing running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) the last few weeks, leaving them pretty thin in the backfield. Rookie DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer are the only healthy backs on the active roster, although Carson and Hyde both have a chance to return in Week 10 against the Rams. Scarbrough, who was cut by Detroit this year after not playing in a single game, ran the ball 89 times for 377 yards and one touchdown in six games for the Lions in 2019. He's unlikely to be much of a factor in Seattle, even if he's brought up to the active roster at some point.
Free-agent running back Bo Scarbrough will try out for the Seattle Seahawks. Scarbrough was buried on Detroit's crowded backfield depth chart and was let go this year before playing at all. He ran the ball 89 times for 377 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and one touchdown in six games for the Lions last season. Seattle running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (hamstring) will miss their second straight games in Week 9 against the Bills, leaving Seattle pretty thin in the running back room. Rookie DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer are the only backs left on the active roster, so Scarbrough would be providing some more depth there if he were to sign.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is active for Week 16 against the Broncos. Scarbrough is returning after a one-week absence, but he won't be fantasy relevant for the fantasy finals with Kerryon Johnson (knee) coming off Injured Reserve. Johnson could have his snaps limited after a two-month absence, but his presence alone in this backfield makes Scarbrough mostly a non-factor. With both Johnson and Scarbrough active, Wes Hills will be a healthy scratch. It's tough to trust anyone in Detroit's offense with quarterback David Blough leading this team.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 16 against the Broncos. All signs point to Kerryon Johnson (knee) coming off Injured Reserve to play this Sunday, but if he doesn't, it'll be some combination of rookies Wes Hills, Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic. Johnson would likely be limited if he returns after a two-month absence, and quarterback David Blough under center would make him more of a weak RB3. Scarbrough would be nothing more than a desperation RB3/flex if he's active and Johnson doesn't play against Denver.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Scarbrough missed the Week 15 game against the Buccaneers, but he could be on track to return this Sunday in a matchup with the Broncos on the road. Even so, Scarbrough could be limited for a tanking Lions team in a tough matchup. He's averaging a solid 4.2 yards per carry and has 301 yards on his 72 carries through four games this year, but Scarbrough would be a shaky RB3/flex for an offense that is being led by third-string quarterback David Blough.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is officially inactive for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Scarbrough wasn't able to practice on Thursday or Friday, so it was likely a longshot for him to play anyway. Ty Johnson, J.D. McKissic, and practice-squad call-up Wes Hills will lead the backfield in Scarbrough's absence. All are shaky plays, considering Tampa Bay possesses the league's best run defense.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is a game-time decision for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old is trending in the wrong direction, with two DNPs on Thursday and Friday after practicing in limited fashion on Wednesday. Even if healthy, Scarbrough is hard to trust against the Buccaneers' league-best run defense. Fellow backs J.D. McKissic and Ty Johnson will shoulder the load if Scarborough is ultimately unable to suit up.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was downgraded to out of practice on Thursday after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. It puts Scarbrough in danger of missing Week 15 against the Buccaneers, especially if he misses another practice on Friday. Even if Scarbrough plays, he'll be more of a low-upside RB3/flex in a tough matchup with a surprisingly good Buccaneers run defense this year. Rookie Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic would split the workload in the backfield if Scarbrough is inactive this Sunday. Detroit's offense under third-string quarterback David Blough is limping to the finish line.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough has a tough Week 15 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coming to town. While the Bucs pass defense sits last in the league, their run defense sits near the top, and with rookie quarterback David Blough unable to consistently get scoring opportunities, Scarbrough's value gets seriously capped. Scarbrough has taken full control of the Lions backfield over the last three weeks, but he will be hard to trust this week, especially in PPR leagues. Fantasy owners can slot Scarbrough in as an RB3 for this matchup.
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough rushed 19 times for 65 yards in a loss to the Vikings Sunday. Scarbrough added one catch for five yards through the air. Scarbrough has completely taken over this backfield as no other Lion had more than two carries. Despite the work, Scarbrough's fantasy value is capped somewhat by the Lions offense starting rookie David Blough at quarterback making scoring opportunities rare in the Motor City. Still, Scarbrough can be trusted as a borderline RB2/3 based on volume alone with more value in non-PPR leagues.
