Editor’s update: Rawls is expected to “see plenty of snaps,” per Ian Rapoport, “but C.J. Prosise is being treated like the starter.”

It looks like this is the week Thomas Rawls makes his long-awaited return for Seattle and fantasy owners.

The Seattle Seahawks are no longer listing Thomas Rawls on their injury report, which means he is good to go against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rawls is recovering from a fibula injury that has limited him to just two games this season. He practiced in full every day this week after getting in two limited sessions and one full practice last week.
It was clear Rawls would play this week once Seattle waived incumbent starter Christine Michael. We could see Rawls get a full workload in his first game back since Week 2.
Rawls missed most of training camp and the preseason while recovering from a broken ankle suffered last season.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Rawls as the 29th-best running back in Week 11. He faces an Eagles defense allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.
Until Rawls shows he can stay healthy and get a full workload, keep him on the bench. It is just too hard to see him having a good game after not playing for almost two months.
