JD McKissic Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks running back J.D. McKissic was on the field for quite a few snaps in Saturday's game against the Chargers, and he regularly operated as the safety valve for backup quarterback Geno Smith. McKissic ended up struggling on the ground, only tallying 20 rushing yards on six carries, but he was able to break off a 12-yard gain on a dump-off pass. McKissic is one of the backs that helps comprise Seattle's impressive depth at the position, but realistically, he's probably fourth in the pecking order as the team heads into the regular season. His versatility usually gets him some touches, but owners shouldn't expect any regular usage unless injuries befall those in front of him on the depth chart.

The Seattle Seahawks activated running back J.D. McKissic (foot) from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. McKissic hasn't played at all this year after fracturing a bone on the outside of his foot in the preseason. His fracture was a Jones fracture. He had 453 combined yards in 2017 but will be buried on the depth chart behind Chris Carson, rookie Rashaad Penny and Mike Davis.

Seattle Seahawks running back JD McKissic returned to the practice field this week for the first time this season, but head coach Pete Carroll said he won't be active for the game against Carolina. Carroll told reporters that McKissic looked great in practice, but it wasn't a smart thing to try to push him into playing his first week back. The fact that Seattle has quite a logjam at running back right now with Chris Carson, Mike Davis, Rashaad Penny, and possibly CJ Prosise also probably helped push the coaching staff away from rushing McKissic back. It's unclear exactly where McKissic could fit into the rotation right now anyway.
