Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls is doing well in training camp, but coach Pete Carroll says he's not about to steal time away from third-year running back Christine Michael, according to the Seahawks' official website. Rawls is an undrafted free agent who is likely to start the season on the team's practice squad.

Fantasy Impact: Rawls has really impressed the Seahawks since joining the team. That includes his time participating in OTA’s and training camp. He scored a touchdown in his preseason debut and he’s demonstrated a greater sense of ball security in game action.
All of that being said, the Seahawks aren't about to quit on Michael, someone they've invested multiple seasons into. He, too, has been reliable for the team, and although he is stuck behind Marshawn Lynch for now, he probably isn't going anywhere this year.
Fantasy owners may want to keep an eye on Rawls in Dynasty formats, but for a season-long league, he’s probably not worth taking a flyer on.
