Jacob Eason Fantasy

The Seattle Seahawks claimed quarterback Jacob Eason off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday. Eason was waived on Tuesday when the Colts activated Sam Ehlinger (knee) from Injured Reserve, but it didn't take him long to find a landing spot. The Seahawks needed a backup behind Geno Smith with Russell Wilson (finger) on Injured Reserve, and Eason will be that man. The Seahawks also have Jake Luton as an option at the position on the practice squad if anything were to happen to Smith while Wilson is sidelined. There's no guarantee that the 23-year-old Eason will stick around in Seattle once Wilson is healthy enough to return as the starter.

The Indianapolis Colts placed wide receiver Parris Campbell (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and also waived quarterback Jacob Eason and defensive tackle Chris Williams. Kicker Michael Badgley was elevated to the active 53-man roster and quarterback Sam Ehlinger was activated from Injured Reserve. The injury bug hit Campbell yet again in the Week 6 win over the Houston Texans, but he caught his only target for a 51-yard touchdown before leaving the game. The 24-year-old will miss at least the next three weeks of action after catching 10 of his 17 targets for 162 yards and the one touchdown in five games this year. With T.Y. Hilton back in the fold, Zach Pascal should operate as the No. 3 receiver in the Colts offense behind Hilton and Michael Pittman Jr.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacob Eason is among the team's inactives as a healthy scratch for Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Brett Hundley was named as the backup to Carson Wentz (ankles) last week against the Tennessee Titans, so it appears as though Hundley has surpassed Eason on the QB depth chart. Wentz sprained both of his ankles in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he played the entire game last week against the Tennessee Titans and is active again this week. If Wentz were to suffer an in-game setback, it will be Hundley controlling the offense, not Eason. Rookie sixth-rounder Sam Ehlinger (knee) was designated to return from Injured Reserve earlier this week.
